Graphic Card, NEED HELP!

Alright, I just got my new graphic card today. I put it in, and it isn't any different than my old one, I get the same FPS I did in CoD2 as my old card got. I got an XFX 9800 GTX Black Edition and I upgraded it from an EVGA 8600 GTS Superclocked. I got 125 constant with the EVGA, but now with the XFX, I can't get 250. Pretty sure the card should be able to get at least 250 constant easy in CoD2. I even have all of my graphics turned down to like the bare minimum. It isn't a driver issue, installed the latest drivers for the card. Here are my other specs...

AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 Windsor 2.8GHz
XFX nForce 590a SLI
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 7200 RPM 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache
XFX GeForce 9800 GTX Black Edition 512MB
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP/3
CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX

I know I can get 250 with this, but instead, it has the same FPS as my old card. There are people that get it with worse cards than this. If you can help, that would be great, thanks.

And I just tried to play CoD4. With my 8600 GTS, I could get 125 constant, now my new 9800 GTX can't even get that, this sucks.

when you installed your new card it may of auto upped your gfx settings, also make sure you deleted your old gfx driver before installing new ? as it could be running your old gfx card driver or conflicting with it.

Yeah, it did make my graphic settings better, but I changed all of them already, still nothing. And I deleted my old graphics driver, still no luck. :(

What the hell is the point of buying a damn expensive graphics card and not using it's capabilities to roll at higher graphics? You know, it is called a graphics card for a reason.

Sure you don't have anything in a config that is limiting your FPS?

CPU is the bottleneck, imo like Helldozer said. If you think it isn't then try a reformat see if that helps.
