Any idea why my Radeon 2600XT stinks at DX7?

Yeah this card is a DX10 card so I thought it might be something like that, it's just that the DX7 is SOOO bad, also the DX9 and OGL aren't that good when compared to other cards in the Bmax Programming forum thread about MGE's test app. It's like the drivers or card are just screwed or crap, but other people seem to be getting real stinky performance too with the same card.
