Geforce 6800 Ultra problems...

I've recently flashed my bios, repair installed windows, and overclocked my system. I'm not sure which of these, if any, have had anything to do with it, but my graphics card is now running really slow. 3DMark05 scores are only about 2500, and strangely, while the bios is set up correctly, I'm getting the following window:

Even though my card is not PCI, but AGP 8x. That's what it's always reported before recently as well. Anyone know why it would suddenly say PCI instead?
 
Could be a flaw in the new Driver, try rolling back to the old drivers you used and see if that helps, then contact nVidia about what occured:)
 
Actually I was using an older driver, 81.x I think, and I figured updating the driver would sort the problem out. Turns out it hasn't. I think I will contact nVidia, it's certainly not your usual problem.
 
download and install this http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=911

open it up and enable all of the options and then close the utility; go you your graphics card control panel and look for a new tab on the left that says AGP settings, then slide it across to AGP 8x.

if this doesn't work you might have an incorrect option set in your bios or your motherboard drivers might need reinstallin because the graphics drivers usually get this sorted when they install

I gave that a try as you suggested. For some strange reason, I couldn't find any AGP sliderbar, which I know for a fact was there before. It seems everything in the control panel thinks it's a PCI card, and is reducing the card's power accordingly.

you tried reverting to your older bios? if the bios wasn't an official one it might have causes a few internal conflicts

It's the bios version that was recommended to me by MSI to use with my Opteron. I'll try contacting nVidia, see what they say.
