MSI r7970 getting HOT

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Hello,
Just bought the MSI R7970 lightning. I have not overclocked it or any thing. I ran "Medal Of Honor Warfighter" on ultra and my temps were getting like 90 degrees C. I'm using MSI Afterburner to monitor the specs. I setup a custom fan curve with afterburner. Is this normal for this card?
Thanks for the help.

You probably have the fan profile too conservative. Run somthing like MSI Komustor for a few minutes, set a static fan speed of around 80% and keep going down until temperatures settle at around 75C. Then you know how much speed you need in a high load situation, and can put it into the fan profile.

90C is far too hot.
