New graphic card

Hi there fellow captains

I want to upgrade my graphic card. Game was running smooth on 29 fps.
Now I use TM1.4 (which include Leo ocean mod).. This for me is a must have.
But my fps dropped to ca. 23 with some light stuttering.

My rig now consist of..
AMD 64 3200+ on Asus K8N socket 754
2 GB ram DDR (400mhz)
XFX 7600 GT 256mb
Windows XP (1280x1024)

I think the vid. card is the (small) problem here.
I have already looked around. The new 8600 series looks crap so far..
I want a card which has good results with AA & AF !

So it's gonna be a 7900 GS (256mb), 7950GT (512mb) or maybe a 8800GT
(still pretty expensive)

The 8800GT is also available in 320mb and 640mb versions.
Is there a lot of difference between those 2 (640 is also 100 euro more expensive)

What would you buy ? or should I upgrade something else ?

Thanks,

Foo
p.s. I want to stay with nvidia !
