birds in the rigging AGAIN

[She-Wolf]

hello folks, tis me

I am running GWX 2.0 with 2x Nvidia Geforce 7600GT in SLI mode.

When I first had SH3, out the box, my very first post on here was because all the rigging on passing ships appeared like lines of little black squares or oblongs. From a certain distance you could interpret the effect to be birds in the rigging. Well, now I got 'em again.

They very satisfyingly disappeared when I put GWX 1.0 on - until I had a reformat. Someone on here advised me to set my AF to 8x and the AA to 4x, so I did that,
and again it sorted it, but then I did my yearly reformat of C:, and...
got birds in the rigging again, even though I have again set the AA and AF to those values. The game was installed on another drive, so I did not have to go through the biz of putting GWX on again, and it appears to be running fine, but it spoils the game to have lumpy graphics I am sure it can be fixed - but I don't know how...

if anyone else on here has an Nvidia card and uses custom settings for SH3, please might they tell me what works for them??

I will be back tomorrow, night night now. Thank you
