It works on most PCs but not all, I should actually include that in the thread.

Are you saying literally or it just overheated.

I think it was just a bad joke.

Idk...

If you have any problems, post it here.

didnt work for me

before: ~92.98 fps

after: ~ 81.60 fps

dx81

I'll wait until someone who actually knows wtf they are doing weighs in on this

VALVE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS HATE HIM!!!

This file is probably used by tf2 to run the default settings for your PC (if you scroll down you can see additional settings for different GPUs). If you don't like the way graphics configs look this might be a good method to balance performance and graphics, but this trick is not gonna give you more fps than configs like Comanglia's config.

boosted 30 fps

Jesus Christ people are bad at life.

These are the fucking commands.

[REMOVED COMMANDS / BETTER LIST BELOW]

I'm not going to fuck around with this shit, but just about every one of these commands should already be in your autoexec if you know anything about config'n.

EDIT: Just to clarify, if your game's currently being played with things like "mat_specular 1" and increased levels of detail, simply copying and pasting these into a config will do you zero good. You have to make sure the values are set to the appropriate number for increased performance.

You're definitely no Ron Jeremy

This Man Fucks Hard On His FPS Config With This Neat Trick...

The amount of posts in this thread with just one minusfrag is really stressing me out.
I feel like when a rescue dog doesn't actaully find anyone for a while and start to lose it

Again, it doesn't work for all computers, if you get less then uninstall it.

It is different for EVERY computer on it, it is best to use what it says for your proper hardware.

While I do not have the time to go through every command, i can say that atleast 85% of these commands are not different on each computer and you're ultimately speaking directly out of your ass.

The posted above commands ARE going to be the same COMMANDS you will see. If you're getting lower FPS than usual, it's because the value at the end of some of the convars are not appropriate for increased performance.

ie: before I was running no lod and specular, but after i directly copy and paste every command and it's value like a moron, I lose FPS cause I already had better values for the same commands running.

Envious, just...just stop. Please. I know you're only trying to help but there are several people who came before you and did all this stuff, and did it better as well. Every time you make a thread you're just digging yourself a deeper hole.

Hell, there's a shit ton of good commands missing from this list that compliment 50% of the listed

Dont use this shit. I'm finding more and more commands that have little to no explanation from the performance side of the game.

"r_portal_stencil_depth "1" for example.

I didn't make this thing, it is just a trick that you can do, it is just to give you higher graphics as well, if it's crappier then it is crappier, I didn't make it and some people actually happen to like it, so how 'bout you just leave it as this, and pay attention to other things then this, if you don't like this, then ignore it.

r_decal_cullsize "15"

It actually does help some people, I use it myself, it don't dab down the graphics, but if you need serious frames, then get Rhapsody's or Comanglia's simple as that, and again, if this is not liked, ignore it, if this gets taken down, then so be it. Then I won't do anymore post shit. There and done.

I haven't tried this "trick" but I do have to comment that you're a horribly rude person who doesn't think shit through. You find a possible FPS improvement and post about it and give really shitty / almost non-existent instructions and then you act like a dick to people who don't know exactly know how you did it, and then you instantly write off anyone who questions your method. Now I'm not perfect at this either but this is something you've consistently done in the last 5 or so threads you've made.

Also you have no empirical evidence, which is why people question your method(s). For reference when I released my FPS config I posted benchmarks comparing mine to Chris's and m0re's. I even followed through to test huds and document it and including info on a few of the commands I changed and what they most likely did.

mat_antialias "0" //Zero will default to 1 on start up regardless, otherwise tf2 would load with black screen. See below .
r_fastzreject "0" //This seems to be hardware dependent, but most fps configs have it at 0
mat_reducefillrate "0" //Needs to be 1
mat_forceaniso "1" //Why on earth would you force aniso, needs 0
mat_picmip "0"

These are commands that compliment some of the already existing sound commands.
dsp_enhance_stereo 0
snd_async_fullyasync 1
snd_pitchquality 0

The random numbers denote how many useless commands and otherwise weird shit I had to remove.

I just spiled my cofee evrywhere hal;p[

Oh shit ur here, well I hope I didn't mess anything up in my investigation of every command. Please tell me if i missed something !

mat_antialias 1 - is actually the best option 0 just defaults back to 1 when you load up tf2 regardless of what the console says. As it was pointed out to me before mat_antialias 0 isn't possible otherwise you'd have just a black screen.

EvolvingEnvious it's fine now. I don't know how I fixed the crashes but I'll try out the trick on my own pc tomorrow

Tried this and fps didnt change anything.
Also EvolvingEnvious, as an advice you should make 1 thread with everything you do and not make one for each new thing you "find". Dont stop trying to find new stuff tho
