COd just went from 10fps to 40.

If it is working, hope the devs read the forums-

Judging from the hardware and reported results, its the low end machines that are seeing the most benefit. Those who are already pulling down 50fps or thereabouts are seeing proportionally less gain.

As Maxed said, setting the Depth buffer to 32 you are killing the Stencil buffer, because a 28 bit depth buffer is necessary to use 8 bit Stencil buffer, and there no 16 bit Stencil buffer.

Switching off the Stencil buffer can boost overloaded systems, just set DepthBits=32 and StencilBits=0 and try, but it has consequences because the usage of this buffer is off.

How is IL2COD using the Stencil buffer is what is unknown, it is used usually to add quality in shadows and reflections maps, may be poss processed effects too, so you are switching off some quality of the picture.
