Hey there,

I would say that MiniGolf Maker is probably more graphically intensive than other mini-golf games, most of which tend to have more simplistic art styles. Combine this with the fact that player-created content simply cannot be optimized as efficiently as developer-created content and you may run into times where your system has a lot of work to do.

That being said, there are a few graphics options that can be changed to reduce the GPU utilization:

• VSync: Depending on your monitor, turning this on can limit the FPS and reduce the GPU utilization.
  
• Water Realtime Reflections: Realtime water reflections are pretty hefty, so disabling them can improve performance.
  
• Enable Grass Details: Turning grass details off can have a big impact on performance.

get a better graphics card, stupid

Have you tried not sitting on the chassis of your computer while playing?
