As a side note - is there really any support in DirectX for 32-bit bit depth? Windows classic 32-bit color is really 24-bit with 8-bit alpha (just as the original setting) - even though there has been talk of increasing it - but I guess the human eye is really lost after 24 any way?

EDIT: Even if the setting is really not valid - it's really interesting that some people here see massive improvements (as some side effect I guess by driver/dx going to some default setting instead?). The devs analyzing that could lead to good stuff!

well my improvement is definitely valid. i could bring some prints, or a video, but im not talking about a 5 fps difference, im talking about making the game playable.
