Default overheating only on the freeway

here is what it does. when i am driving at about 65-70 mph or faster for a while my temp gauge will rise. if i open the heater core the temp will slowly drop to normal. my car does not overheat no matter how hard i drive when i am not on the freeway. i have a turbo gsr in a vx hatch. i have the spoon temp switch and thermostat. do i just need a aftermarket radiator or could i have a problem elsewhere??
