If you are looking for a very nice Ati card that you won't have to upgrade for a good while, and have the money, I recently purchased this card, and I am very pleased with it. Newegg seems to be out of those, but any of the X600 series on up should be plenty.

And thus, the ATI versus nVidia debate begins...
My thought? Pull out the 6800 and stick in any card you might have lying around (or even run off the onboard video) and play some graphically intensive games. Rule out the 6800 as the source of the overheating problem before you do anything drastic.
edit: I'm an idiot and I should read the whole thread before I post.
