Graphics card temperatures

At the moment my gpu is 50C, going up to around 61C if im playing a game or somthing.

Is this normal for high end graphics cards? =/ seems awefully hot to me.

my x1900xt ran at about 100C, it would crash at about 105C

google should be able to tell you the max operating temp. but if it gets too hot, your comp will generally reboot anyway so i wouldnt worry too much unless your comp acts up a bit when playing games for a long period of time.
