I have chris' maxframes config and I get like 300-500 fps constant. Then when I see a certain effect or look at certain players, it drops to 90 and my mouse kinda slides I guess? it get's rly frustrating during games cause i'm our teams main offclasser. Is it possible to fix it and has anyone had this before?

lowering the amount of particles you see on screen in advanced options may help

not unusual effect, but some effects like quick fix uber (especially) or spy decloacking or anything that has to do with particles that isnt an unusual like flamethrower as well

is it still possible to play in dx8? I had this weird problem with artifacts and was forced into dx9.

Myself I had horrible fps drops whenever I saw fire or the medi gun beam, or really any particle-heavy effect.

I accidentally had antialiasing on.
It might be your in-game command (mat_antialias 1) OR, as I had it, my nVidia drivers forced antialiasing on for all games. So turn that off from your nVidia control panel > 3D-settings.

Hope it helps :)

I use a couple of these particle things like the flamethrowers/medigun. They don't help a ton but they do prevent a hoard of pyros from dropping me to sub 60 fps so thats nice. None of this works on sv_pure 2 for obvious reasons but they're nice to have regardless.
