Tuning settings for performance

Hi folks,

I'm trying to play huge maps with thousands of monsters both with Russian Overkill and Brutal Doom. Maps are generated with Oblige. Things work fine without either mod, but when I start using the mod, things slow to a crawl. I'm guessing this is because of transparency effects, glow, or other visual effects.

If I don't care about those things, how do I configure gzdoom for performance?

Thanks!

Brutal Doom has a tendency to test a graphics card's performance. And if you combine that with larger maps, you'll inevitably run into problems on older, weaker hardware. With just a few settings you cannot change this. What you can try is disable dynamic lights, but that's pretty much it. Transparency barely registers as performance issue.

What's your graphics card anyway?
