How hot should my GPU be?

As I am quite new to this sort of thing, what temperature should my Gainward GTX 260 896MB be at? Sometimes it peaks to about 62'C after playing Crysis, and I don't know whether that is worrying or not. I keep the performance settings at 'Safe Mode' standard.

Thanks in advance. :)

That's fine, don't worry about it.
 
Mine likes to be at least 10 degrees above my cpu with the fan on auto.

But to be fair the gpu does have a piddly little fan and heatsink and crap airflow.

Still, it's cool with running hot so that's fine :)
