Some easy steps to try:



Download and install the latest drivers from Nvidia, make sure to uninstall existing ones first.

Make sure under Power Settings that system is set to Performance or to Always On and try again.



Video BIOS really shouldn't cause a problem.



Check your system BIOS at start up that nothing is hampering performance.



Also run a monitoring tool like HWMonitor to see if you system isn't over heating, some systems cut back performance if the graphics cards are overheating.



Use a tool like Rivatuner, to make sure the performance of the Core and Memory match those listed on the web and haven't been somehow reduced.Plz guys help me with my video card 9600gt problem...?
Sorry to hear that.



Can you check photo's on the web of the product against the one you have?



Also there is a tool that allows you to modify a Nvidia bios, http://www.softpedia.com/get/T



Since it's already broken you could tinker with this tool.

after reading your question the first time, i almost blew it off see that the other guy mostly answered you well enough, but then i read your question a second time and saw that it never said that you replaced your older card only that you added a new card. so if you are running sli or crossfire, it makes since that the card is running slow.
