Default 7600gs with varying fps

Hi!

could someone explain the following behaviour:

recently installed SH4 on an old PIV 2,8ghz, 2 GB RAM (mixed bars), 7600gs 256 AGP, 250GB HD, WIN XP SP2, latest NVidia driver (6.14.11.9562). Some missions turn out to have ok fps throughout, though they drop to about 15 when torpedos impact, but other missions have terrible fps (7-8), e.g. the torpedo tutorial. This drop in fps seems to occur without any particular reason and the fps stay that low. fps this low in any 3d view (not in the map view). Only high resolution textures is checked, everything else is unchecked or at low.

I have SH3 GWX 3 and the OLC mkIId Übermod installed as well, which runs like a charm.

Also tried NHancer and disabled AA, AF, doesn't help.

Could it be that my DC supply is causing the trouble? It only supplies 200w. I know this is terribly low, but AFAIK the 7600gs only needs 34w (silent edition).

What would be the best NHancer settings for good fps?

thanks!
