Should i replace my 7800gt?

[imported_K3N]

When i played Ghost recon advanced war fight and Need for speed carbon , i get artifacts and the game freezes for 5-10 seconds. I just checked the temperature of my 7800gt while play ghost recon and it was at 99 degrees celcius. When i checked many months ago, the temp would be 76C at load so does this mean that the gfx card is really messed up because of overheating?

not permanently, clean out your case and vid card heatsink and see what happens

After cleaning it with a dust cleaner, the temperature seems to have dropped back down to 67C, i was experiencing any artifacts or freezing in carbon. hopefully it continues to stay like this, thanks for your help.
