I'm talking 100C and up... quickly.. like before I can even get out of the sub pen... I have set my fan speed to 100, and reduced the graphics level to medium and i'm hovering around 80-90 C which seems ridiculous... when Crysis or Modern Warfare 2, or Bad Company 2 don't get me over 60 C.. ever. I'm running three case fans.. in a central air house that never gets over 68....
This is just insane..

I got a ASUS EAH5870 V2 and I have
exact the same problem , I am in the process to swap the GPU cooler with a Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 rev2 plus a extra huge heatsink attached at the back of the GPU PCB , I hope this two heatsink will reduce temperatures
My idle temps are the same as before driver update , 36C idle with room temps of 24C
