Your card should be fast enough, unless the fan is broken and it's
running at partial speed. My GX5200 runs glxgears at around 2000 fps,
you should be getting something similar.

If you see any video it isn't causing your problem. You probably want to try
a working video driver however. I'm using nvidia's 66.29 drivers.

This shouldn't cause a problem, but you may wish to update to CVS.

Have you tried using "Extra Audio Buffering"?

This indicates that your computer can not keep up with filling the
XvMC buffers. This is unusual, are you sure mtrr and AGP are working? 
When you run dmesg are there a lot of complaints from the kernel?
