    Default Unfamiliar graphics settings

    I noticed these graphics settings in the Perfected DOOM 3 mod: SSAO, SSIL, and Vignetting, and I'm unfamiliar with them, so I googled them, but the results I read may as well have been in Chinese. Can anyone give me an idea what these settings actually do?

    SSAO
    Stands for "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion" and is a pixel shader. Basically, in a nutshell, with this enabled what you'll notice is that objects can cast shadows upon themselves.

    SSIL
    No clue what it stands for, it's similar to SSAO though.

    Vignette
    Should have no performance impact, it's basically a small black border around the screen for cinematic purposes. Here's an example:
