That is somewhat odd.
Dose in game performance drop to or just your 3d mark score?
Just to make sure, you have the latest drivers installed for all components, correct?
Did you make any changes to your hardware when you reinstalled Windows?
Do you have enough +12V amperage on your PSU?

Well from what I can get, Im not too German affluent, is that his 3DMark score dropped by 5K points. The only time I have ever seen that is with the 8.3 drivers in Windows XP. They all dropped a lot in 3DMark performance.
Other than that list your amps from your power supply.
