Completely normal, anything over 85C will start some unwanted problems. Your fine.

Varies by card, cooler, and case. My Vapor-X 7970s run 40-45C while gaming (well, they did until this heat wave, anyway), and that's with a CrossFire. I wouldn't be surprised if someone living in a colder climate and using a very well-cooled case could manage 40C under load, though there's not much point to it.
