Does anyone have any experience of using this card, or any of the 6800 cards with sl?

This sounds like a caching problem and not a hardware problem. I suspect your 6800 is noticing <the SL cache is not gettting cleared properly> in a manner your old card did not.

Could you clear your SL cache and tell us if this cures your problems?

This is the tech section! "Technical Issues", you know?

It reads that way because he copied and pasted the text from his identical post in the Press forum. Apparently it takes a while to notice the title of this forum.

My sarcasm might be unwarranted. He could have been experiencing a "technical issue."

Rather than explaining all that, just uninstall and reinstall SL. That'll clear your cache. Remember not to store personal files in the SL directory, or they'll get deleted when you uninstall.
