I think my 6800GT ran pretty hot until I stuck a better cooler on it (...and then flashed the vbios to give the core 1.4v like the Ultra model).
I had an X1950 Pro too which was also a hot one.
I had both cards and did the same to my 6800GT! A copper Zotac cooler, although I didn't flash the BIOS I managed to OC it to near Ultra speeds.
The Sapphire X1950 Pro I had was hot to the extent that I ended up taking the side of my PC's case off and pointing a desk fan at it, to help avoid issues with the Crysis demo (after later getting a 4870 I realised the card had issues, likely from day 1).

The 2900XT was like a flamethrower from what I remember reading at the time.
Yea, I had one of these. My god the amount of heat that would shoot out from that radiator. That card needed a 240/280mm radiator. 120 was not enough.Radeon R9 295x2 - 500w TDP
