disable reflections?

well i turned off most of the water reflections for my sh3/gwx3 on my laptop since it has some odd graphical glitch where all the relfections were bunched up into the bottom left corner of the screen (intel 4500MHD integrated vid card), but apart form solving that particular glitch it had no effect whatsoever on game performance still 50-60fps.

The engine will still load up the reflection models so the system resources are still being used wether the reflections are visible or not. Oddly sh4has no such problems despite being on the same engine, who knows...

Since there doesnt seem to be a single switch to turn off all water reflections/refractions you have to do it manually for every single object in game!!
