I had the exact same problem with a Quadro FX 5500 card. I use a TXP database and performance was fine with an older driver and incredibly bad with a newer driver. For me, I had to use the 91.36 drivers versus the 91.47 drivers. There are even newer drivers out now for the Quadro cards, but I haven't tried those.
