The card is working fine. Welcome to the world of 3D acceleration. I have the 7000 in a Beige G3 (G4 533, everything else maxed out) and in 2D (regular screen redraws, etc) it is pretty slow, significantly slower than a Voodoo3 3000 and about the same speed or slightly slower than the onboard video. But give it some 3D to chew on (ie: games) and it screams past the onboard video. If you go to OS X there are enablers to run Quartz Extreme with the pci 7000, which is not natively supported. Until I go to X.2 (I have the disc, I just haven't installed it yet) I have been seriously thinking about picking up a voodoo card for day to day stuff.
