DepthBits =32
StencilBits=16

I have definately had a way better performance increase with the above change.
Water is -1 because the current water is a place holder of the true "next-gen" water that is not in game now, so nothing will change if you tweak the number.

The real water that is coming when the engine gets fixed is said to be transparent and have waves, maybe models reflection too.

Also, there no exist a 16 Stencil buffer, The Stencil buffer is a extra buffer used to calculate some graphics effects and to have a 8 bits of Stencil buffer you need set your Depth buffer to 24.

So nothing will change if you tweak this numbers, the only valid value is Depth=32 and Stencil=0 but seems have no effect either.
