Having trouble modifying game settings - please help

Can anyone here please help me understand what some of the lines in "user_a2.cfg" file represent?
I tried using the all knowing google, but could not find anything that could help me.
It is usually located in "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\Profiles\USERNAME", though the folders might be hidden by Windows.

Although i would like to understand all the stuff in there, the lines that start with "setvar gfx_" are the most important to me.
My computer is a bit old and turning on (or off) certain options in there helped quite a bit, but most of those lines i do not understand - and i could not figure them out by randomly changing settings.
Also some lines have more options than just 0 and 1 - it would be awesome if someone could please explain what the different numbers do, and what are the top/bottom limits?

Thank you a lot for reading and helping me out!
I love Heroes of Might and Magic series, and the HoMM5 is the latest my old PC can barely play.

I have no idea what it is? what do you want to change, maybe it isn't so complicated...

It is just a list of game options, but in "text line" form.
I will copy/paste them here, though it is a tad long:

Changing these is like changing options in the game settings, but these are a bit more specific and reliable.
The ones that start with "setvar gfx" are the most important to me, since i do not understand like half of them, but any explanation about any of these lines would be very great!

Well i was hoping someone can explain what does changing all those options do, or at least these specific ones:

setvar gfx_ban_lags = 0
setvar gfx_effect_alpha_treshold = 0
setvar gfx_fix_ban_np2 = 0
setvar gfx_fix_nv_np2_hack = 0
setvar gfx_hsr = 0
setvar gfx_lag = 1
setvar gfx_lm_calc = 0
setvar gfx_lod_switch_distance = 300
setvar gfx_mapshot = 0
setvar gfx_static_nooverwrite = 1
setvar gfx_texture_mip = 0
setvar gfx_transp_buffer_auto_grow = 1
setvar h5_simple_render = 1

I have not been able to figure out what does changing these values do, or to what values can some of them be changed (beside 0 and 1).
I am hoping that some of you modding wizards will be able to explain to me what the above options do, or what do they affect?
