Of course, I have the graphics maxed out, so the higher RPM is to be expected. Crysis, Medal of Honor Airbourne, Oblivion and Fallout 3 also increase the GPU fan RPM; although, Oblivion and Fallout 3 to a lesser extent.
It wouldn't hurt to periodically pull your video card and blow it out with an air compressor. Same with the CPU heatsink and fan, case fans, power supply, Northbridge/Southbridge heatsinks and the inside of your case. Most people know this, but forget to do it.
