Hi guys, i'm just wondering if this is a normal temperature for my graphic card? (i know its not the best, but it will do)
When i'm not playing games and only browsing in internet, the temperature stays around 46-49C... But when i'm playing games such as trine 2 etc,it goes up to 76-79C, so is that normal for this GPU??

Here is the link for my graphic card (if you wonder how it looks like)

Also here is my specs on my computer:
- HP DX2400
- Windows Vista Business 32-bit
- Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2200 2,2 GHz
- 2 GB RAM DDR2
- 250GB HDD
- Nvidia Geforce 210 512MB
 
Its within operating temperatures (cards can typically get to around 90°C before killing its own performance to avoid burning out) but its still higher than most enthusiasts would be willing to run their card.

Its a passively cooled card (has no fan on it). Its relying on case airflow for cooling and that being a prebuilt HP I can guess that the number of case fans on the thing has an upper limit of exactly one. I suggest finding some way to improve airflow, but given its a GT210, I wouldnt exactly try that hard.

i got my gt 210 to 90 degrees while overclocking, it then cut its own power to save itself.

the temps are high, but nothing to worry about

p.s. i eventually broke my 210!
