I have an Asus 8600 GT graphics card (your post title says 8600 but text
says 9600?) running in Vista x64. My graphics performance index is 5.5. Did
you rerun the performance index after installing the audio card? I seem to
remember that's a manual operation. When you just look at the index, it is
not automatically recomputed. I initially used a driver from the Asus
website, and later updated from nVidia's site since Asus seemed out of date.
