Hmmmmmmm, yup this smells of heat a bit
Are you serious? Are these the temps that your system reports while playing?

With those temperatures, it’s to be expected. While the GF 6800 does produce a considerable amount of heat, 90*C and above is ridiculous.
Check that your heatsink is fitted properly on the Video Card, give your case and all other components a good clean with some compressed air or a brush, and i have to say it - AS5, smear some of that heavenly goop on the video card’s GPU and see if it makes a difference!
