That temperature is fine. It is not at all unusual for a GPU to run much hotter than what you would want in a CPU. My GPU in my sig rig used to run at 70-74C under heavy load, before I installed the Zalman cooler. This dropped it's peaks to about 67C. I have heard of cards running at 90C without problem, but this is too warm for me. If you're not running above 75-80C, you're fine.
