ATI X800XL Running @ 60 Degrees Celsius

[MEGAWATTZ2000]

Is this normal? or should I invest in a better cooler system for my card. I was playing GTR 2 with the settings very high, and I haven't overclocked my computer in any way ..
The game runs fine @ 1280x1024 with everything high, but I did notice some small artifacts on the grass area nothing crazy, but I just thought I should ask ...

I don't want a puddle of goo later on ...

I don't think it's too high, I assume you were playing for a while to check it, it can take half an hour or so to get to a stable temp.

My 9800XT used to run at about 75c after gaming and that was quite normal, if your stays at 60c odd it does not justify buying an aftermarket cooler especially if it is still under warranty because you would have alot of problems trying to RMA it if you change the cooler.
