Those video stress tests is'nt really that reliable. They create a test situation, that have little to do with real life gaming.

Download FRAPS and then run the game at the settings you use normally instead.

As I guess, you are using mayor quality settings and resoloution. That is a good FPS.
Also have in mind, that the FPS will differ when running on the same resoloution and quality settings. Depending on if a game is Videocard or CPU intensive. F.E.A.R. is a videocard (GPU) intensive game for ex. Doom 3 is CPU intensive.

Another way to increase FPS, is to get a tweaked driver.
The 32bit Xtreme G- 84.56 v.2 is a very good driver.
Just go here and register for free. And you can start downloading Xtreme drivers.

Just remember to uninstall the old driver in add / remove programs before you install the new driver.
