One other way to test it is to play them in a low resolution, if high and low resolutions results in the same performance, the cpu is the culprit.
That's how I found that my CPU was holding back UT3 ( a PC game) even if I ran the game at a low res of 640x480, I had the same FPS. After I upgraded the CPU, the performance was much better.
Which PC game do you play? Perhaps you can also test those and see.
The only PC game I have installed is Street Fighter IV. It definitely is a big difference there with the GTS 250, but that's a game designed to run on one. I am able to max out all quallity settings with the better card with no slowdown whatsoever.
