As the title says.

This card should twice as fast as my EN8800GT. But with my 8800, I was getting around a good constant 40FPS with max settings (In game). But the GTX is getting around 25-30.

The card specs are as follows:

Chipset nVidia Geforce GTX 460
Video Memory Installed 1024MB GDDR5
Memory Interface 256-Bit
Memory Clock 3600Mhz
Core Clock 675Mhz
Shader Clock 1350Mhz
Processor Cores 336
Shader Model 5.0
Nvidia SLI Support Yes, 2-Way & 3-Way


PC Specs:

3072MB RAM

750W PSU

Intel Core Duo @ 2.66Hz, 2.67GHz

Ciph, if you could post your NVIDIA Control Panel settings, then that would help.
