Wondering what are good temps for most graphic cards

[mr_lucklegs]

Last night, I played Darksiders,for about a couple hours, the temps reached 70c, is that normal for card, i should add a pci-x fan for it?

That's fine.

When should i be concern, and does a pci-x fan really make a difference?

the Max GPU temp for the GTS450 is 100C according to Nvidia's site. I would not expect it to ever get close to that. You have an EVGA so it should have a lifetime warranty, correct? I'd say if it starts getting close to 90C under heavy load you should start asking questions. I also check site reviews at what they get for temps. I see Tom's saw 73C at load.
