Alright did some more tests.

Average fps on dx9 with net_graph 3 (3 tests): 167
Average fps on dx9 with net_graph 0 (3 tests): 184
Average fps on dx8 with net_graph 3 (3 tests): 190
Average fps on dx8 with net_graph 0 (3 tests): 205

The results do not change if I set net_graph to 3 again after I tested it with 0.

Holy shit. How can that be? It's worth also testing cl_showfps 1 and I guess net_graph 1. I never thought that this was possible... I guess it's better not to run that stuff

I just tested it real quick(and only on dx8) so those results might be not too accurate:

Average fps on dx8 with net_graph 1: 197
Average fps on dx8 with cl_showfps 1: 204

So basically cl_showfps doesn't seem to affect fps and net_graph 1 does, although not as bad as net_graph 3

It'd be really cool if somebody who posted their benchmarks in this thread previously could do it again to see how much the new patch helps with fps.

same config.
before: 65fps
now: 60fps.

'before' is 1/2 of a year though so I don't exactly have a before update / after update

So, well. It got worse long-term.

CPU, clock and graphics card is same as before: Athlon II x4 3.5GHz, HD7950.

I figured I could do a couple of benchmarks since there are so many options to go with:

For some reason the download won't start after I click "Download"... :/

Playing this particular demo crashes my TF2 at what I assume is the end. Anybody know how to fix that?

anyone with a benchmark saved want to test if the updates in the past year have made a difference? i'd be curious to see it.

Under normal settings, I get 131 FPS on this demo. With Harbl's No Hats Mod, I get 142 FPS. Pretty sweet.
In addition, turning on dx8 and highframes gave 161

Reinstalled windows a few weeks ago. About a week ago I was hitting 147fps in benchmark (compared to 120fps on the 31st December 2013), not launched the game since the update today. I've been using the same graphical config and settings. About to benchmark again.

I actually had one more fps with Aero enabled without Rhapsody's config.
Also, for some reason, when I removed Rhapsody's config, the demo looked like this - so the broken / lack of motion might just be the difference in frames? Has anyone else experienced this?

if you had very odd looking motion it sounds like you must've alt+tabbed or changed settings mid-demo

I didn't do anything mid-demo, but I Did change my autoexec.cfg between timedemos.
timedemo benchmark1 -> demo works fine, people are moving -> get results -> remove Rhapsody's cfg from my autocfg -> timedemo benchmark1 -> demo has people doing attacks and particles working, but everyone's standing still -> better results, but I don't know if that's due to the lack of player motion :x
