I take it that is the idle, not load temperature?
If it's a load temperature, as the others have said, it's good.
If it's at idle-just on the desktop-then there is some cause for concern.
Check the usual suspects: Run sweeps for malware or virus infections, with the system powered off, gently spin the cooling fan/s, they should rotate smoothly with a little 'pulsing' resistance from the motor magnets, reinstall the video drivers, uninstall any tuning software (MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision etc) and delete any saved profiles when asked. Take a close look at the fan/s, any dust build up on their blades means it's probably time to give the card a good clean out, maybe even strip it down more fully to replace the thermal paste.
