Added mat_viewportupscale and mat_viewportscale to enable rendering the world at a reduced resolution. ("mat_viewportupscale 1" and "mat_viewportscale 0.5" will downscale world rendering by 50%.)
Basically, you can make the game's world render at a lower resolution than your game's resolution - this is really good for people with shit GPUs who want to use borderless windowed mode for fullscreen.
Here's a screenshot with 25% native resolution, just for example:

that's pretty cool. too bad tf2 is cpu limited for 98% of people. But maybe this would allow playing on integrated graphics or something

I wish you can reposition the game after using
mat_viewportupscale 0
mat_viewportscale 0.5

yeah then it all sticks to a corner of the screen, but it doesn't match up with your HUD anymore which is why it's weird

I would love this but it just makes my eyes hurt way too much for me to use it.
Any other way to make my shitty computer run better? Besides maxframes.

how much improvement were you able to get with these cvars?

i'm cpu-limited but i know that having a lower resolution should give an FPS boost for people with eg shitty integrated laptop graphics

How much is ur performance docked for running in windowed mode btw?

Love and respect for Valve for looking out fo' us livin' in da concrete jungle of da integrated graphics hood. BUDGET-SIDE REPRESENT!
But, seriously, I'm looking forward to toying around with this. I can currently average about 40-60 FPS on my Intel HD Graphics (paired with my Intel Pentium P6100 processor, a half-step below a first gen i3) using a bit of a beautified Chris' High Frames config (because seeing facial expressions makes me feel safe). Getting 60 as my base FPS would be a dream come true, however, I'm still iffy about how the loss of visual fidelity will affect awareness/eye strain. Still, big ups to Valve for making sure that almost everyone can enjoy their great products :D

Although I don't need this, I wouldn't mind using it if it didn't hurt my eyes =\

the hud is a broken revanxp hud, the xhair is custom but i'll share it if you want
I've been meaning to remake some of revanxp hud anyways so when I do that I'll include my xhair (it uses Fog's xhair font) but that's a topic for another thread I guess
I already posted it somewhere, I'll try to dig it up

Can you do the opposite, force super scaling by rendering a higher resolution? Might help some CPU-limited computer maybe.

It seems to be capped to 1, so no. Doing it through your GPU (forcing MSAA) would be better anyways; CPUs suck at doing lots of redundant work compared to GPUs, even shitty ones.

lower your in-game resolution

I set mat_viewportscale 0.5 and this happened...
Now the question is. WHY THE FUCK DID SETTING VIEWPORT MADE MY GAME INTO RAPE?
(I'm using Chris's Maxframes, but I dunno why it's crapping on me)

what's the point of mat_viewportupscale 0? i tried it and the game feels smooth as shit but it's just not convenient at all
