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.
