Direct 3D Tests Failed

Good day everyone...

 

I recently upgraded my PC to a higher grade video card with more RAM (128 MB).  The one mistake I made with the card is that I purchased a card with a PCI Interface instead of the AGP Interface. 

 

On one of my games, I meet the recommended system config, but yet during gameplay I experience dramatic frame rate fall off.  After many e-mails with the game manufacturer.....they pointed me here.

 

When I run the "DxDiag" ....I'm failing the Direct Draw and 3D Test.

 

I did read about a bug regarding this test & the screen saver settings, but the fix did not help.

 

I've included all info I thought might be useful.

 

Sorry for the barrage of info below....I know how important some of this information can be when you're trying to troubleshoot, but I had hoped that I would just be able to attach the file instead of cutting & pasting like I did below. 

 

Thanks for any help you can provide....It's appreciated.
