^^ the temp should not cross 80C .

Try these :

1. Clean the card.
2. Try increasing fan speed.

or, apart from doing the points mentioned above, check the airflow inside your rig.

oh, missed another point while posting my previous post. Temperature inside graphics card depends a lot on ambient temperature of the room were you are running your desktop.

anyways I think your system needs dusting
and if possible do clean the graphics card too thoroughly

6850 runs cooler than 4850. BTW, which brand do you have?
