Strange 6800gt problem

I replaced my 5950 ultra with a 6800gt. I installed the 66.93 drivers after
uninstalling the older ones. I benchmark around 25 fps faster on Doom 3
timedemo. Here is the strange part. When I set the override refresh rates
in the nvidia properties to other than default, I end up losing the speed
gain. Instead of benching at 50 fps it now will read 30 fps, and the game
does run slower. If I change it back to default then the game speed picks
back up. Under windows control panel I have a refresh rate of 85hz
selected. I just wanted to select the override feature in the nvidia
control panel. I called EVGA tech support and he said there were some known
issues with the override feature. Anyone else getting any strange
occurences? Thanks.

Far Cry title screen is buggered up as well, game runs fine if you have the
patience to wait to get a game started- but it ain't right.
