How is the card positioned in the case? Does it have plenty of airflow?

If you are talking about the upper card in this configuration (2x 6970) then these temperatures are fine. I currently have 2x 6950's in a drawer (yes, a drawer) with 4 fans venting. I have an OC to 900MHz on the core and 650MHz on the mem. with 1.14V. I get roughly 82-85C on the upper card and 72-75C on the lower card. You could try a switch between the cards, some run a bit cooler, and a bit cooler might mean 5-10C if you switch them.
