Settings:
I.Quick review:

Code:

Rendering Mode - Non-buffered Rendering .
Hardware Transform - on.
Vertex Cashe - on.
Use VBO - off.
Frame skipping - off. (Have FPS problem? Switch on this)
Simple 2X SSAA - off.
MipMapping - off.
Vsync - off.
Texture Filtering - linear.
Texture Scaling - off.

II.Detail rewiew:
Rendering Mode - Every mode, except "Non-buffered Rendering" cause screen flickering. So be sure you switch "Non-buffered Rendering" mode, otherwise you can't play this game - painfull for eyes.
Hardware Transform - Switch on this and Vertex Cashe improves FPS
Vertex Cashe - Switch on this and Hardware Transform improves FPS
Use VBO - Makes problem with FPS. Do not use it.
Frame skipping - Good option, if your FPS goes down. Use it if problems with FPS chases you.
Simple 2X SSAA - Try it if you have fast PC, but believe me - useless.
MipMapping - Seems no effect. Better to switch off.
Vsync - Makes problem with FPS. Do not use it.
Texture Filtering - Linear makes graphic smooth. Check this pic to compare nearest and linear modes
Texture Scaling - This option modernise your game's graphic and can make this better or... Try different settings - maybe something good happens. Remember - use fast PC or other device for it.
