In the Black Death Track I get 'dancing' reflections off water (clouds, trees, hills).
Same whether Water = 2 or 3
Water is very dark blue on many maps for =2 or =3. In the Black Death Track it is a Blue/Grey.
No noticeable change in frame rates.

My rig:
ASUS A8N32SLi
AMD 64 x 2 3800+
2 Gb Corsair XLPT3200 2-2-2-5 memory
2 x XFX7800GT in SLi mode
2 x 160Gb HDD in Raid config
Jeantech STORM 700W PSU
Win XP
DirectX9c
Samsung 226BW

Running 162.18 drivers. I tried later drivers a while ago but not so good for some reason.

Nvidia settings:
AF : x16
Gamma correction : On
AA : x8s
