I ran the same demo, so that's weird...

1 of 2 things probably happened
1. Your PC took to long to load and it counted frames while it was still loading the demo,
2. 1 of your experimental commands effects rendering in very odd ways

ai_expression_optimization 1       // Disables NPC expressions when you can't see them, not sure if it works on regular players in TF2, but that's why it's experimental.
//r_pixelfog 1                     // Supposedly increases FPS via fog, but it doesn't seem like it. Feel free to play with it to test. I'll run benchmarks later.
fast_fogvolume 1                   // Undocumented but I didn't experience any FPS loss with it enabled, will run benchmarks later.
filesystem_native 0                // I think there's an FPS gain with this, anyway.
host_thread_mode 1                 // runs host in threaded mode if multicore

Just tested the rest of these none of them seem to provide any boost.

.

I think it messes with your mouse drivers if you use any.

-high, it shouldn't unless you have other processes actively using your CPU but it would be better to just have those other processes off.

snd_mixahead 0.05, didn't notice any real FPS change and I'm not even 100% what this command does so I'd rather leave it default.

-edit- was informed what snd_mixahead is, I'll put it at .05 even if their's no FPS benefit

Could you check these Cvars, if they give any Fps boost or not?

mat_tonemapping_occlusion_use_stencil // When you switch Dxlevels in game, this always shows up in console for me - Bad convar found in dxsupport - mat_tonemapping_occlusion_use_stencil

mat_managedtextures // If set, allows Direct3D to manage texture uploading at the cost of extra system memory

mat_alphacoverage

mat_max_worldmesh_vertices 512 - Any benefit of increasing or decreasing value?

map_noareas - Disable area to area connection testing. Possible Network optimization?

Thanks

not being able to alttab while playing tf2 is my definition of the end of the world

great config. something i noticed in your launch options tho

you don't need to use -refresh to play at higher refresh rates.

Thanks for pointing some of these out! (I had already tried a few of them)

mat_tonemapping_occlusion_use_stencil // No FPS benefit off or on

mat_managedtextures // No FPS benefit off or on

mat_alphacoverage // Default is 1 setting it to 0 gives a 1-2% FPS decrease

mat_max_worldmesh_vertices // Setting this to 64 and to 4096 gave no statistically significant change in FPS less than 0.6 Frames which is less than .3% change for me

map_noareas // No FPS benefit in demo, EXTREMELY unstable i.e. CTD as soon as loading a multiplayer server

Sadly nothing :(

modern monitor manufacturers do not allow their monitors to have their refresh rate set out of range

I wish manufacturers like BenQ did. I could easily get this BenQ to do 180Hz on a Display Port cable (albeit at a lower res most likely)

what's holding you back comanglia?

Firmware :/ On certain resolutions the BenQ can do 147Hz on others it can do 150Hz but never past that no matter what. Their are certain very few monitors that can do 200Hz but they're usually laptop screens hooked up over mini Display Port, and have pretty shit pixel transitions.

Wanted to say that I'm fairly certain 1 of my commands is causing slight network stutter, so if anyone who uses my most recent CFG is experiencing network stutter please let me know.

I can't recall, is it dx8 that causes those three lines to appear in front of the player, that seem to be a circle around, or is it a command that can be changed?

think its mat_trilinear 1

That did it, thanks! :D

any idea what might be the cause of the sparkling crit effect on weapons from kritzkriegs/cap crits?

This is the command for that!
mat_specular 0 // Controls specularity. Setting this to 0 will make ubers
// non-shiny, and will remove some specular effects from in-game
// entities which support it. Setting this to 1 on dx8 will
// result in some strange `fire' textures replacing their
// appropriate counterparts, especially on medals, and certain
// hats.

Someone please help, I tried changing so many commands already, what the hell is causing this stutter? it's so annoying

Same. Except I get a primary stutter then about a minute later my game crashes

If you don't have a four-core CPU then your game will be unstable due to some of the convars in this config, and you'd be better off running my config instead since I commented out those convars on mine. Both configs provide similar FPS gain since Comanglia and I are working together on it.

90% sure it's net_queue_trace
10% might be sys_minidumpspewlines as it might be saving constantly really small files causing cpu hiccups

and for those of you who didn't update it's probably cl_loadondemand_default or you have a PC that can handle all the extra threads.

quick question, do different values of mat_monitorgamma come with different fps?

It shouldn't.

.

I was originally asking if anyone was experiencing it, and only 1 person that myself actually said they had the problem, so I figured it was isolated. I'll update it now.

-useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd
do these commands actually still do anything if you have raw input on and mouse accel off? I dont notice a difference playing with or without them

These options have been phased out for years now.
