Performance decline with nvidia 25X graphic card drivers

Hi, after updating my nvidia graphic card driver from 197.45 to 257.21 (or 258.96) my regnum framerate decreases to 20-30 FPS (from 40-60 FPS before) outside a battle! That's a loss of the half performance!!!

Regnum runs with OpenGL (Shader 3.0) @ 1280x960 with middle graphic configuration.
I can't run it with Direct3D and Shader 3.0 because it produces everytime a Blue Screen (BSoD) -> more info.

My System:
Geforce 7900GS AGP
Biostar M7NCG 400
WinXP SP3 Professional

A method is to revert the driver back to version 197.45 or older.
Does somebody have this problem, too? - or other ideas to fix this?

@NGD: Every time I read 'Keep your drivers up-to-date to get a better game performance'.
How I should get a better game performance with a rigid and outdated support of nvidia graphic card drivers?

current status: As newer the drivers are as lower is the regnum framerate.
should be: As newer the drivers are as higher (or at least constant) is the regnum framerate.

PS: Other games runs as good as before with the new nvidia driver.
