    I have this graphics card on my computer and I'm wondering what a normal running temperature would be? I downloaded a windows gadget and it clocked it at 71 celsius whilst running STALKER. Would that be a normal temp. or is that way too hot? I normally have my laptop on a computer lap table. Basically just a plastic plate.

    That doesn't sound too high to me. Anything under 90C is ok, under 85 is even better.
