My current vcard (nVidia 9500GT 1GB) is racking up a lot of heat (95 degrees C) when I'm simply playing TF2. What's more, its lowest (idle) temperature is only at 58 degrees. This is without any cooling systems, no liquid nitrogen, no anything. Just the built in fan, while I keep my case open. The room I am in is cold as hell, so I'm assuming it has nothing to do with room temperature.
My vcard is 2 years old at most. I just checked the temperature right now for the first time and saw it was racking up like mad.
I'm assuming the best card brand out there for temperature is ATI, and if it is, does it necessarily mean the better (and more expensive) the card is, the better? Or is there different types of the card have better cooling systems than others? (like Radeon is different from Fire Pro, et cetera)
I don't need any tips for cooling (I know someone that does right now) since I probably wouldn't start doing so since I'm not the man that overclocks and stuff. I'll only do so when there is a dire need.|||GPU buyers guide

You are still well away from it's max temp. So, until it starts to get over 100C, don't worry
However the lower the temp, the better..
