Just got the chance to load up some sh3, tonight.

The DirectX tweaker gives an enormous boost in frame-rates, if you turn on the partial precision. Somewhere at or above 50%.

However. You will notice some pretty obvious abnormalities with the graphics. Of extreme notice is the BLUE fires that occur on ships when you hit them. It's a really vivid mixture of blues, ranging from light to fluorescent to dark.

A few other things are the very noticable depth differences on the nav map, because the shades of blue have greater contrast. Smoke and clouds aren't quite as pretty, but for a +50% boost in your frame-rates, the 5900XT and 5500 owners might appreciate it.

By turning on full precision, it might also help fix some of the graphic glitches that plague some things like sun-glare.
