Do you play on your parents toaster? No problem!
Do you get 20 FPS on average? No problem!
Do you want to enjoy playing TF2? No problem!
This is a guide to get THE BEST FPS your toaster can give.
Note: Your graphics will look absolutely horrible.
For people who care: I decided to go with Comanglias Stability config instead of toaster/potato config be cause i personally didnt get any extra fps from potato config, and i
seriously play on a toaster with a screen attached to it.
My PC:
RAM: 2x 2GB Sticks (only 3.25GB of that is usable)
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 2.13 GHz
Random motherboard i found in my attic
Windows 7
As you can see my PC is a potato.
I am currently building a new gaming pc but 'till then i use this crap of a pc.
Let's start:
1.If you use Windows, set it to High Performance mode.
Control Panel > Power Options > High Performance.
2. Set the Windows theme to Max Performance.
Right Click on desktop > Personalize > Choose the "old-looking" theme.
3. Open your Steam libary > Right click on Team Fortress 2 > Set launch options... > Paste this in:
-dxlevel 80 -nod3d9ex -console -w 1280 -h 720 -full -novid
4. Copy this: http://pastebin.com/4WeNveLb
This is Comanglia Stability config + Blocky Textures + I removed network settings.
The reason i removed network settings is be cause if people have bad PCs they usually have bad network so i didnt wanna mess with anything.
I hope you understand my point.
To Comanglia: I hope you don't mind me modifying your config.
