ATI cards have had problems with "shiny water" in the past, although it was solved for quite a few revisions of Catalyst.

I've been running 5.6 since they were released and have only played NWN a few times since but I haven't noticed this particular problem.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 5.6 was causing it. I've never had any problems with Catalyst prior to 5.6 with anything, but I've noticed some unusual things with this latest release.

I'm going back to 5.5 and will probably stay with that driver regardless of new releases. I doubt that ATI is considering their older cards anymore (9800pro) when testing driver releases.
