    Hey everyone!

    I have G53Jw with GeForce 460M. I just started playing Fallout 3 and I have everything set to ultra high, it runs quite smooth. But when I walk into water the, the ripples come off VERY pixelated. It looks very abnormal, like something from Doom 2 era.

    Anyone know anything about this? I looked it up google but couldn't come across anyone with a similar problem.

    Thanks

    I just started playing this also (great game). I don't remember any issues the few times I've walked in water, I usually swim except where the water is too shallow. I'll take a look an let you know. I cant play until Monday though so it will have to wait until then.

    I just checked the water on Fallout 3. It looks great. No pixels or anything, very real looking. I am running with Settings on Ultra & 4xAA. Yours should be similar performance since our GPUs are evenly matched. Maybe your drivers are not up to date.
