even dropped particle density to about 80% whats the 'synchronicity' thingy by the way?

Harbours are the most demanding area of SH3. You will be doing alright if you have 30-40 FPS while in harbour, the same can be said of explosions. Anything more, don't complain. In clear water you should be 100 FPS plus.

The sync option tries to reduce screen 'tearing' by locking your FPS to your monitors refresh rate. I suggest you only use this option if you have a huge surplus of FPS.

You can play with the forced settings within your GFX Card control panel. Reducing AA & AF will help, a lot. Find a good balance.

Also if you are using GWX, you can use the Reduced Habour Traffic mod, this will remove all shipping from the harbour apart from your escort.
