Default windows experience index rating problem?

I just bought a new PC and ran the windows experience index rating and
received a 3.0 for the graphics part.

I don't know how that is possible, here are my specs.

EVGA 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard
C2D 8400 @ 3.0 Ghz processor
4 x 2GB Supertalent 1333Mhz memory at 8-8-8-18 for 8GB total
XFX Geforce 9800 Gx2 1 GB video card
Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate
and some other stuff.

I have another PC which has a score of 5.6 for

BFG 8800 GTX 768 MB video card
4 GB ram 800 Mhz
2.4 GHz processor OCed to 2.9
Asus P5N32-E SLI Motherboard
Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium

How is it that my new PC is scoring less on the video? Any suggestions
before I return the video card? rofl

I didn't manually install/upgrade my direct x, do you think that may be the
problem?

Did you load the drivers from http://www.nvidia.com? You might load those on
there and see if it improves.

Is there another way you can benchmark the graphics? Do you have any 3D
games that you can run and get frame-rates? The WEI may just be off.

You have the latest drivers, yes?

The above is a good guide.

Darn, I do not think that will run on Vista 64, not even in
compatibility mode, that's a shame.
