05 looks about right, not sure about the others. Remember to install the latest chipset drivers, etc.
 
Did you have a different card before (like an ATI)? If you did or if you recently updated your video drivers did you use Driver Cleaner first to get rid of the old ones? I recommend the official 66.93 drivers btw and will never trust a beta driver.

03 and 05 look about right. Your 2001 and source test tell me there's a problem with your motherboard/chipset/cpu though. Have you installed the drivers for them? Otherwise something else is going on, but I'm not exactly sure what's up.
 
yes i had ati card before .... but i used driver claener and got rid of the drivers and installed the beta drivers .. my score was in mark05 3200 with drivers off the nvida site .. but now when i got the beta its 4800
