video card framerate/ artifact problems

Indus

I recently bought a new motherboard and kept the rest of my system the same.

Now my system is stable but in games and benchmarks I'm getting 1/2 the fps I'm used to.

I originally tried installing the motherboard chipset drivers for AGP graphics to PCI or something like that and my video was horrible. Even in 2d I'd get artifacts and in 3d I'd see massive tearing and skewing of the video.

I reformatted without those drivers and the video is much nicer and more presentable but I'm still getting 1/2 the framerate.

How should I fix this?
