What temperature do you consider "overheating"?

Is this card used?
Make sure there's no dust under the heatsink cover.

i got the card 1 week ago, when i got no programs open its at 47 Celcius, and when i play Guild Wars 2 on the lowest graphics its about 60C

That's not hot at all, you're fine. At 90, I'd start to worry.
