graphics settings for sh3

[She-Wolf]

hello folks, seeing someone was enquiring about ATI settings for best effect in SH3 reminded me that Ihave a small area of dissatisfaction re graphics as well.

I have two Geforce 7600 GT cards with SLI enabled on my system. SH3 is listed in NVidias list of games, but there isn't a preset configuration - I have to do it myself.
I don't think I know enough about graphics to do that.

The global settings are :

anisotropic filtering - 4x
antialising gamma correction - off
antialising setting - 2x
antialising transparency - off
conformant texture clamp - use hardware
extension limit - off
force mipmaps - none
multi-display/mixed gpu acceleration - single display performance mode
sli performance mode - single GPU
texture filtering - anisotropic mip filter optimisation - on
texture filtering - anisotropic sample optimisation - on
texture filtering- negative LOD bias - clamp
texture filtering - quality - quality
texture filtering - trlinear optimisation - off
triple buffering - off
vertical sync - use 3d application settings

if any of you understand that lot and think I need to tweak one or two, would appreciate your guidance.

I have three areas of gentle discontent;

sometimes the rigging 'breaks up'. Nothing like as bad as it was in the unmodded SH3. Then it was like birds in the rigging, but bridges and rigging are not as smooth as I think they ought to be, at a certain distance.

When I look under the water, I can't see anything except poorly defined sea bed, and horizontal lines where the depth of the water is. I can look up and see the underside of the waves, but not 'through' the water. straight ahead. Maybe that is because the North sea is just plain murky!
Similarly, the sky seems poorly painted. The clouds are fine, the stars are fine but the backdrop sky seems like it has been daubed on with a paint brush, not smooth.
It doesn't affect the game play but if I could have it better, I would
