I think the thing slowing your fps down is the smoke effect from the cannon.Smoke is a huge FPS slower in pretty much all games.I have a 6600GT and when I don't have naything better to do I use the pizza trainer with unlimited ammo and no loading and plant myself with the mission editor in the middle of water with 3-4 corvettes or armed trawlers (sometimes PT boats) and shoot the hell out of them.But I can't fire more than about 7-8 consecutive "automaitc" shots because the smoke gets to me...only for a few secs,but like you said it's kind of annoying.
But the fire effect from the cannon might also cause this,but I that's a low possibility.
Also,one other thing that could be causing this would be sound ,but your CPU is pretty fast so I don't think sound could be a problem for it.

And like Gizzmoe said ,the card is low-end these days so you should consider getting a better one.
