Other than the newest drivers 66.93, you may try defragging the HDD.

Use this registry tool to unlock the built in overclocking utilities in the driver.

Did you properly install the drivers when switching out cards? This doesn't apply unless you're going from ATI to nVidia or updating from a previous version.

I had similar problems when going from an FX5500 to a 6800 on a machine that only had nvidia cards.. get that nvidia shredder or whatever util it is and give that a shot... it will remove all traces of a nvidia card being in your machine and then reinstall your drivers of choice
