Working with a Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb tonight I found the biggest performance improvement by far for this card was shaders=0 forest=0 and water=0 -- with those 3 changes (and still running 8xAA/16xAF and full specular and everything else) I got 21 fps when the LA rammed the FW in the black death. Quite acceptable. And Stalker runs way better than the 3870. So beautiful... and my cards coming tomorrow are even faster than this! 
2xQ is the same thing as Quincunx, which is a special trademarked nvidia only antialiasing mode that offers almost 4x quality at about 2x speed.
Edit: Dither should be 1 and has to do with color blending and, in il2 specifically, smoke. Stipple is usually 1 as well but I honestly don't know what it does. I know if you choose nvidia 6800 series in the il2setup it turns it on.
