So I recently installed a gtx 560 ti evga based card into my computer. It works great and I'm running all my games on 60+ frames. The only problem is that for ALL my games, the fan goes really loud and my GPU temperature goes up really high. When I had my amd 6670 or my gt 520 in my computer, the temp would go up higher when playing more graphically heavy games (bf3, skyrim, gta4, etc.), but evers since I got this card put into my computer, it goes super high on ANY game I play. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks!

What temps are you getting? Does your case have proper air flow? Without this info, I suggest you download EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner and adjust the fan speed setting to a decent noise/heat ratio to your liking.
 
first question: what is the temp? 6670 and 520 are low end card. for such card their max temp might not exceed 60c. for high end cards 80c+ are are not weird especially when using reference cooler
