I have a Canon 5D Mark III and I just purchased a Lexar 128GB 1000x CF Card UDMA 7, formatted it to exFAT and after doing numerous benchmark tests, with GD on and off and in video/picture mode, I get the same low results of 29.9 MB/s write and 13.6 MB/s read

Those readings sound completely wrong.  I can only record video in ML for about 2 seconds before it skips frames and shuts off (shooting at 1080/23.97). 

Do I have a bad card?  Am I missing something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

If you have an USB3 card reader, benchmark it with something like this.
If you still get low results, most likely a dodgy card.

Also, it's not polite to double post.  ;)
