i launched tf2 today, and i'm getting 50 fps in mge (and any other map) net_grpah 3 shows that my fps is 340~ but the game feels choppy, and cl_showfps 1 says that my fps is at 50.

fps_max is set to 0 and i've tried restarting tf2. I am using chris' maxframes and just yesterday was running the game comfortably with 300+

edit: sherman gluck has saved me fps_max 300 had it go back to being above 50 again.

For it to fit the entire screen the game has to be set at desktop resolution when in windowed noborder.

add -h (height) and -w (width) to your launch options.

example: -h 1080 -w 1920

try disabling steam/mumble overlays
youneverknow
in the case of steam overlay being broken but you want it, mess with your dx settings

Isn't there a command to force Source to render in a lower resolution scaling it up to the dimensions of the window?

I used to have this problem but after capping my fps at 132 it seems to have stopped.
Although 132 gives me slight stutter, its nothing compared to 60 fps every so often, so its much better in my opinion.
