Well basically, I've been playing tf2 for 2 years. I've used chris' maxframes, use no hats/particles, lowered resolution, mat_viewportscale 0.5, and more. I've been able to play the game smoothly at a constant max of 132 fps. (Had my fps_max at that). Now for the last like 2 months or so, my fps goes from that 132, to 70 for no reason. This causes audio and mouse stuttering. Is anyone else having this issue at all? I've tried switching fps config (currently using Cowmanglia's cfg), reinstalling the game, tried using fps_max 0 instead. No difference. I can literally be staring at a wall in spawn and from the 250 fps, it goes to 70. The drops occur about every 5 seconds and it really annoys me. This has literally quite ruined the game for me and makes me not want to play anymore. The weird thing though is it may not drop at first but about like 1 minute or so in my game, it starts happening and will never end. If anyone is also experiencing this or knows how to fix this that'd be great.

What kind of system are you on?
Laptop or Dekstop?
Cause honestly this sounds alot like your CPU overheating (I used to have this issue when I played on a laptop)
If it's a Desktop, go get a can of compressed air, unplug your pc take it outside, take the side off and spray it our with the compress air, especially the CPU fan and heatsink.
If it's a laptop consider buying a laptop cooling pad.

I'm on a Desktop. I've always been on a desktop since I started playing tf2. Nothing has changed at all.
Here are my Specs:
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 945 Processor 3.0 ghz
Graphics: ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics
Windows 7 64 bit
8 Gb Ram
Like I said, I haven't replaced or done anything new to my computer. Before the last 2 months, my computer could run tf2 fine at a constant 132 fps with no drops ever. It's only been the last 2 months since this happened. Also, when I put my hand at the back of my tower while playing tf2, it seems a little warm but not like it's overheating.
UPDATE: I've found a problem. Turns out you were right Cowmanglia. I realized that my cpu was overheating and at about 97 Celsius. So, I opened up my computer, cleaned the fans a bit, and now my cpu is at 40 celcius and my tf2 runs great. Thanks a lot.
