I have a 7800GTX.

I have played SH3 with the following drivers:

78.01 WHQL
81.85 WHQL
81.87 Beta
81.95 WHQL

All of the above drivers work fine with SH3 EXCEPT the 81.85 WHQL driver release which causes grey texture shadow effects on the crew etc. Nvidia release the 81.87 Beta which fixed many issues with the 81.85 relsease including specifically pointed out SH3 grey texturing issue with 81.85.

Anyhow, I quite like the latest 81.95 driver as it seems to have good Image Quality and performance for the 7800GTX.

BTW, I play SH3 on 1280x1024x32 resolution being my native LCD resolution (enabled with the Dx9fix, without which the Resolution is fixed at 1024x768) on max settings and 4x AA and 16x AF with tranparency Anti-Aliasing, all turned on in the driver, as SH3 does not allow it through application controls/options.

The Game runs smooth as hell despite very heavy graphics mods including all the hi res texture mods and hi res subs etc.

Hope it helps.
