Performance Declines After Graphics Card Upgrade

I've been wanting to add another video card to my computer for quite some time now. I've eventually gotten something that I think will suit my needs, a Galaxy nvidia GT620. There were some original complications like the 6 beeps after installation issue (which I hopefully resolved by switching to Legacy mode), lack of power (Added a new 400w PSU to serve it). Now that the card is finally working, I open a game expecting a higher frame rate and visual experience, but I actually end up with the same frames and less frame stability than what I usually get using my integrated card. Keep in mind I kept the game setting the same for both cards.

Here's what my computer consists of:
HP Pavilion
AMD Quad-Core A8-5500 Processor 3.2 ghz
8GB RAM
Integrated AMD Radeon HD 7560D
(New Card) GT 620
400w PSU

I thought that maybe there might be bottle-necking but I'm not sure. Is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated. At this point, removing the card altogether is seeming like a logical thing to do.

is the driver the latest beta? or latest stable

The drivers are already up to date, I installed them from the website as soon as the card was working. Would there be any reason why it would be performing less stable? Updated the Windows experience index and the graphics ratings dropped.. I might take this card back.
