Is my video card going?

[mpickle]

Now that school is over with, I decided to get back into some great gaming with WoW, BF2, CS:S, and CS. I loaded up BF2 and CS:S back on my computer, and tried playing them. CS:S was average at best. I got an average of about 60 fps when I put all video settings on low. These weren't even the recommended settings. I had to lower the resolution to 600 x 800, and I still couldn't get about 75 fps. I thought this was strange, but know that some previous updates have cause cs:s to be a bottleneck. I then looked to BF2. I again, had to set all the settings on their lowest option, and even then, the movement was so bad, it was unable to bring up the spawn map. Even if I would get to moving, I would press the arrows, and then about 10 seconds late it showed me ONE frame of movement, and then another 10 seconds and I would see a second frame. I didn't think this was right, so I ran 3DMark, and fould my score to be 5943. That is pretty good. I'm really frusterated because I bought these games, and would able to run all of them on HIGH settings and still maintain at least 95 fps. My PC is about 1.5 years old. It has a 6800 GT. What can I do to fix this?!?!?!?!?!?

Thanks,

look at my rig in sig and also the bf2 ram usage in sig, this should help you out. my x800xtpe is between the 6800gt and ultra and bf2 @ 1280x1024 i get ~50fps. you will not get 95fps unless you were going to play @ 640x480

need more computer specs - gpu, cpu, ram most important
