Vista - windows experience index rating question

I just bought a new PC and ran the windows experience index rating and
received a 3.0 for the graphics part.

I don't know how that is possible, here are my specs.

EVGA 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard
C2D 8400 @ 3.0 Ghz processor
4 x 2GB Supertalent 1333Mhz memory at 8-8-8-18 for 8GB total
XFX Geforce 9800 Gx2 1 GB video card
Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate
and some other stuff.

I have another PC which has a score of 5.6 for

BFG 8800 GTX 768 MB video card
4 GB ram 800 Mhz
2.4 GHz processor OCed to 2.9
Asus P5N32-E SLI Motherboard
Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium

How is it that my new PC is scoring less on the video? Any suggestions
before I return the video card? rofl

I didn't manually install/upgrade my direct x, do you think that may be
the problem?

I wish Microsoft had never instituted this experience index rating. I
think it's extremely misleading.

Besides it doesn't matter. Are you happy with the computer's video
performance? Unless you're not, forget about the numbers--you don't
have a problem that needs solving.
