I had a similar problem when I installed my GF3 TI200 (Tbird 800, ABIT KT7) (card was slower than the Geforce DDR that it was replacing). Solved the problem by increasing the I/O voltage from 3.3 to 3.5. The voltage change resulted in a dramatic change in 3DMark 2001 score (from about 2300 to 4500).
Also, increasing the AGP aperture from 64 mgs from 128 mgs also helped.

Also, if your Mobo has a Via chip set please the thread on Nvidia and Via the new bug.

Try adjusting your moniters refresh rate, if thats not it, make sure you type in your console "fps_max 100"
