Tearing?

hello all,

After a few years away from SH 3, I saw there is still much interest and support for this wonderful sim and had to give it another go....

I've tried both GWX Gold and LSH 5.1 as mod upgrades and am having the same problem.....

Install seemed to go ok and on load up in the Command Room I thought...WOW! How much have I missed!!!

Then I went on deck....and my sea sucks! There's a black (sometimes white) line runs off to the horizon at approx. 45 degrees from port side which moves around as I view and the wave textures seem hit and miss...inconsistent at best. Every other aspect seems great, internal views etc
Does this sound like graphic tearing? or something else?

I've tried all sorts of searches and tried various different settings adjustments in nvidia settings and the 'Inspector' downloaded app. I've tried forcing vSync, checking synchronisation etc But am not getting anywhere.

The tearing isn't evident in stock SH3 sea but is exactly the same in either GWX or LSH 3. Yes...seperate installs !!

I'm running a laptop with:-
Intel i5-3210M
GeForce GT 640M 2 GB
8 GB memory
Windows 7

I get a reading of 6.9 in Windows performance rating for gaming graphics. Please tell me I can run this mod!!! And then tell me how!
And yes, it is switching to the graphics card via Optimus....I have downloaded all components needed/installed to specification such as 4GB upgrade, DX9 etc, based on clean installs...starforce removal etc etc

Thanks in advance
