Thanks.
What are your AA and "Adaptive" AA settings?
The only thing I can think of is you have Adaptive AA (which is linked to AA on an ATI card) turned up very high. That's the only thing which could cause such framerate drops when torpedo explosions go off (my lowly X800 has no problems with torpedo explosions).
I've set the AA setting to 6X (the other options are 2X and 4X).
The "Adaptive" is set to "Performance". The other setting is "Quality".
I haven't yet tried these settings with my career, only with the "Torpedoes" and "Convoy Attack" training missions. It looks almost fine.
Anything to suggest?
You could leave AA at 6X and turn adaptive off. That should improve performance when explosions go off, and they won't look any different at all, but some objects in port (cranes, trees) will look aliased.

Also, make sure geometry instancing is turned on for playing SH3. Regardless of what mods / other settings you use, geometry instancing will always help in SH3.
