Wonk! That's important too! An AMD Phenom X3 8750 Black Edition. (2.4GHz).

Hm. That speed is a bit surprising. I'm using a Core i7 3770 with 3.4 GHz which really looks 3x as fast from my benchmark data.

This is regular GZDoom without lights:

I can't run the test version, as it crashes on me. I guess my AMD doesn't cut it...

Here is the crash report

Do you use the latest driver? AMD supports the two extensions that are missing from your log on newer hardware, but it's only very recent.

Also when running on the test build of GZDooM, I found totally missinginvisible wall/floor/ceiling textures, is it normal?

Of course that's not normal. Can you also post your GZDoom startup log?

Hmm... I think I'll pass on this, then. The generic drivers from AMD seems to be incompatible with Toshiba notebooks, according to AMD. And what drivers update Toshiba has for my laptop is from September/October of 2013, it seems. So they're not even new.

Edit:
Just noticed that it was faster with lights enabled in the test build, but not by much. That doesn't make any sense.

I was able to reproduce this by loading the test build of GZDoom with the Steam overlay enabled.

Ok, I've seen enough NVidia data now to determine that the net result is close to zero. All gains inside the actual rendering code seem to be propagated to the end of the frame, sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the current mood of the computer.

LOL about the Steam overlay. What does it do to disrupt the supposedly 'permanent' mapping of the vertex buffer... :?

Your driver is too old. Your hardware supports GL 4.0 but the driver only reports 3.3.0, which means it won't have the required extensions for the test version.
So, unless your startup log clearly says GL version 4.x, don't bother running it. It will most definitely crash because there are no checks if the features are present or not.

Ok, I updated the NVIDIA driver from 311.06 to 335.23.
Now, the test_version plays and the logfile states GL_VERSION: 4.4.0.

However, when I pick up items the whole screen flashes orange, and when I get hit the whole screen flashes blue.
That happens playing just DOOM2 or an add-on like FrozenT.
