pretty sure comanglia's config works better for me BUT
i do like the fact that whenever i want to play the game with nice graphics (for nostalgia, etc.) i dont dip down to 30 FPS, the lowest i go is 50 / 55, 75 constant.

thanks flame :)

alright, so you change the values in your autoexec to what the game wants them to be (the derp file)?

Sorry I'm not exactly technologically in the know :p

Hm, I do get decent FPS, but isn't it a bit hard to compare because -default prevents you from increasing your FoV as well as removing view models, both of which would decrease FPS?

that's why you're supposed to use it like flame instructed. Use -default, save that as derp, use -autoconfig, etc.
Once you've done those steps you can reinstall your cfg (excluding fps commands) with your binds, fov settings, etc. Then you can start comparing it with your fps when using a graphics cfg

Ah, I misunderstood part of the post then. Thank you!

I used to play in dx90 with 50-40 fps, now im getting a solid 100+. Thanks Flame :D

~110 frames with this, ~ 200 frames with normal config

Pentium G3258 OC'd to 4.3 GHz and a R9 270.

i tried this but unfortunately went from 200 in a pub to 60 :(

What are the commands you put in your autoexec? The same as you had before? The ones in the derp file?

Pls help ;-:

EDIT: I think I did it right and I went from around 80-90 fps with comanglia's config, I'm pretty sure this one http://www.teamfortress.tv/20172/my-fps-config (lowest 50, highest 120) to 50-60 (lowest 30, highest 90) in a pub.

How do i fix this texture for the fence? (open in other tab and look at the furthest fence)

lol, im a retard, i completely misunderstood, fml

x

It is fixable because i just need the command, with a fps config its not there

Personal Benchmarks on a midrange $800 PC (video card bottleneck):

-default: 90-190 fps. 300 max.
comanglia mid pc: 120-300. 700 max.

-default is much, much higher in terms of quality settings (to the point where particles scare me), and it is buttery smooth, same as comanglia. After switching back to Comanglia I get occasional drops to 60fps, however it's barely noticable and I'm sure its fixable.

Try changing mat_viewport, but it looks like you've already set it to 1. Try switching mat_antialias (however 0 breaks mumble overlays).

mat_viewport 0.5 vs. mat_viewport 1

but homie i have a steam controller and i wanna play with it

using the Benchmark2 demo file from pazer's thread

Didn't work for me on a gtx 970 and an i7-4790k, 8 gb of ram at 1080p. Though I get pretty good fps so maybe this wasn't for me.

Worked for me

Both didnt work, if i set it it 0.5 my whole screen fucked up lol

Why isn't my autoexec not exec-ing?

Comanglia cfg dx9
2639 frames 19.394 seconds 136.07 fps ( 7.35 ms/f) 8.430 fps variability

Default with some slight changes

i3-4170 3.2ghz, GTX 950, 8gb RAM

Mat_alphacoverage 1?

I did some more testing with random stuff in comanglias config and I noticed pretty immediately that -default turned off multicore rendering.

adding these commands boosted my fps by ~15 during the timedemo

mat_queue_mode "-1"
cl_threaded_bone_setup 1
cl_threaded_client_leaf_system 1
r_queued_decals 1
r_queued_ropes 1
r_queued_post_processing 1
r_threaded_client_shadow_manager 1
r_threaded_particles 1
r_threaded_renderables 1

obviously don't add these if youre not running a multicore pc. though i feel like it might not matter as mat_queue_mode will stop any of them from working.

i'd also like to point out that my timedemo fps is always significantly lower than my in game pub experience.

also for some reason doing a writeconfig full doesnt display any of those commands. I don't know why, its either a bug or has to do with the config writer having a max length

I added these to my existing launch options and the issue seems to be fixed for me.

+mat_picmip 2 +r_rootlod 2 +mat_reducefillrate 1 +r_waterforceexpensive 0 +r_waterforcereflectentities 0 +r_shadowrendertotexture 0 +mat_trilinear 0 (lowest settings)

I thought these commands were useless?

What's the difference between putting these in launch options and just having the standard commands in cfg?

r_shadowrendertotexture 0 gave me close to 20 fps on the timedemo im so confused.

EDIT

as did mat_reducefillrate 1

we're learning a lot today boys

Edit: mat_reducefillrate is causing my game to crash, would not recommend

This is my end product.
It looks beautiful with an avg of around 150fps on that timedemo.

Use with caution.

ALSO NOTE -DEFAULT CHANGES YOUR WINDOWS_SPEAKER_CONFIG SETTING SO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE TO HEADPHONES FROM SPEAKERS IF YOU USE THAT OPTION AT ALL

So how do you use that exactly? Do you still have -default I your launch options and those commands in an autoexec or what. I'm slightly confused
