You should run the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra without the Maxtreme drivers - they will negatively affect the performance of that card.
Also, you should try running benchmarks using Direct 3D as well to compare relative performance (and maybe Heidi as well). You'll find most people in the gaming industry will use Direct 3D instead of Open GL because they are developing their game to run in Direct 3D. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you look at Maya for instance, are they not using Direct 3D for their display as well? I've noticed a huge performance difference on my older Quadro 2 Pro between Open GL and Direct 3D (Direct 3D being much faster in shaded view for instance). This will give you a truer picture of relative performance.
