With water the problem is not the GPU. Check the CPU, you will see the difference inmediately if you do OC on it.
I know that the water rendering should be done by GPU, but in this game, high water values stress CPU. I have made my own tests with CPU and water values. Changing graphic settings don't change the FPS figure. But, with OC, you get a boost there. Maybe in year 2000 GPU,s weren't so powerful and Oleg set up the water rendering (not the textures) through the CPU,s.
My 2 cents.
