Program Settings > ElDewrito (eldorado.exe)

Maximum pre-rendered frames - "1"
- "Reduce this value if you experience a delay in response to input devices such as a mouse, gamepad, or keyboard while playing games". This had a huge impact on mouse input lag for me.

Power management mode - "Prefer maximum performance"
- Ensures maximum performance. "Optimal power" (default) and "Adaptive" may not maximize performance given game is not running in true fullscreen mode.

Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization - "On"
- "Select On for higher performance with a minimal loss in image quality". This should optimize texture filtering ingame.

Threaded optimization - "Off"
- "This setting should be turned off for most older applications". Turning this off reduced FPS stutter when receiving damage and on death animations.

Triple buffering - "On"
- "Turning on this setting improves performance when Vertical sync is also turned on". Since vertical sync is basically required when playing ElDewrito this should be on.

Vertical sync - "Fast"
- "Delivers latency that is very close to VSYNC off with no tearing". Best form of vertical sync given vertical sync is required.
