For ATi Tray Tool right click on the icon in your taskbar, and select overclocking settings under hardware. GPU and ENV (ambient I'd assume?) temps should show up.

The program might be stressing the GPU more, or GPU temps might be falling a good deal between the time you exit out of the game and check temps with ATi Tray Tools. I know mine can drop a good 5-10*C almost immediately.
What you might try is ATi Tray Tools -> Hardware -> Monitoring Graphs. Add a graph for GPU temps, it'll show you GPU temp vs. time so you can monitor temperatures while gaming, running 3DMark, etc. Will show you the maximum and minimum, but you can also mouse over any specific time on the graph and it'll tell you what the temp was. |

Arn't GPU's safe @ 100c+ anyway? I'm sure if testing got the core too hot it would throttle it back for safety anyway.

Yeah, I don't think some start to throttle until well above 100*C. Of course lower temps are always better when overclocking, because the cooler the GPU runs the higher you can clock it.
