Do you have an electric thermometer? If so you could just have a look at how hot it is with that. Other than that, does it show up with any artifacts while playing?

i don't think i have access to one, and it usually doesn't artifact, but DiRT has been giving me trouble(it won't get past the loading screen to start a race) if it doesn't load after i take it down to stock speeds, then i'm gonna uninstall, because it plays Need For Speed Carbon on the highest possible settings, at 75+ FPS(vsync on) without a care in the world

Maybe there is a BIOS update for your card?

It depends how much you want to know how hot your card is running, as to if you want to get it RMA'd.
