COd just went from 10fps to 40.

i really dont know how is this possible...

Well read my post a few pages back. If you set an invalid combination like color 24 and stencil 16 I guess it goes to some default setting in the "catch all" part of the logic in the code (the default: section of the switch case statement initializing the D3D device). It's probably a "low" setting like 16 bit with no stencil at all - thereby giving you more performance...

EDIT: The best way to test if my statement above holds is naturally to use some out of bounds value like you did above. If you get better performance with a setting like color=0 and stencil=0 than the default 24/8 then my theory holds? I seems like you did that so then the question is what it defaults to? 16/0? In that case you should notice that you have a more narrow color spectra in the game when you see the increased performance? As I see it there is no option in the game settings to use 16-bit color instead of 32-bit so I guess you found the way? Using color=16 and stencil=0 feels better for me than using an unsupported format... But is 16/0 supported? We are only guessing

my issue is that when i reversed back into 24/8 my good performance standed

soemthing like

24/8 - bad performance --> 32/16 - awsome --> 24/8 - still awsome.

thats what is buggering me

Hmm, maybe the shader cache got flushed? Wild guessing here

This graphics engine is crazy. Same results as pupo162 regards sun glare. The GRAPHICS performace now is really nice - except by clouds - they are crap in therms of performance.

All my stutters now are "CPU related": lots of bombs droped, lots of plane shooting at the same time, etc.

We are evolving. In a strange way, but let's see whats happens in future!

I haven't applied the latest beta patch but wanted to try this conf.ini change anyway. Surprise, surprise! CloD picked up 2-3 fps in the each area of the fps counter in Black Death. Micro stutter\hesitations are much the same though........... much like IL2 46.
