Over the past couple months I have been trying to optimize tf2 for max frames without destroying it's look this means I avoid things like the 8 bit models and no rocket trails. I am looking for anyone with anything new to add to my tf2 that will remove clutter and or increase frames. Even small things are welcome. The current things I have done to increase the frames and lower clutter are: a config that is a mix of all the configs I could find, surfaceproperties, no soundscapes, no hats or hat effects, low particles mod, clean tf2 and complete phongless pack.
My launch options are -console -novid -refresh 144 -nocrashdialog -nojoy -high -nod3d9ex1 -threads 8 -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -noforcemspd -heapsize 4194304 -nopix -32bit -dev.
And this is my config: http://pastebin.com/HgfqQGm3
I also take advantage of the blocky shadows using filterlightmaps.
If you have anything to add being mods, scripts or commands to add to my autoexec feel free to add it here. If I get enough stuff I might make a tf2 optimization guide. I just don't want to make it if it's like every other one out there. If you have something to add I'll most likely give you credit. Also i will tidy up the config I have posted but for the sake of the post all you need are the commands themselves. I would love to make an in depth all around optimization of windows and tf2 guide but as I have said before I don't see any need as there are already so many out there!

could you explain what some of your launch options do, i haven't heard of all of them

glasscould you explain what some of your launch options do, i haven't heard of all of them
"-noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -noforcemspd -heapsize 4194304" If im not mistaken all of these launch options are obsolete and I really shouldn't be using them but I do anyway just in case. -threads 8 this launch option sets how many threads your cpu has i have a quad core with multi-threading meaning I have 8 threads. -high sets the game to high priority meaning your computer will use as many resources necessary for the game. -nod3d9ex1 is a typo and really should be -nod3d9ex but in any case it Disables D3D9ex it shouldn't really affect frames much at all but some people say it improves their ability to alt tab so i use it anyway. As for -nojoy -nopix (which i think should be -noipx but idk) and -nocrashdialog im not 100% sure but doing some digging they seem to disable some various unecessary things throughout tf2.

You are using launch options that you know you shouldn't use.
You are not sure how they are spelled.

Ok fair enough ill remove the launch options. I just kept them just in the slight chance it actually did something also i looked and the spelling is noipx so i have changed it thanks i guess.

Why are there so many people trying to do this

For me I just do it for fun i'm fine with how tf2 looks it's just something I enjoy doing.

Archinator surfaceproperties, no soundscapes, no hats or hat effects, low particles mod, clean tf2 and complete phongless pack.
Could you maybe give me links where i can download all of those?
I'd like to try them but having a hard time finding updated working versions.
Gonna try your config later.

heres my list
OS:
-update graphics drivers
-power options: high performance
-visual effects: adjust for best performance
-msconfig: disable services and programs
-disk cleanup/defragging
-close exporer.exe
-sound scheme: no sound
-unparking cpus
tf2 files:
-steam overlay off
-comanglia toaster config
-hud_saytext_time 0
-"-dxlevel 81 -full -w WIDTH -h HEIGHT -console -novid -high"
-no hats mod
-no hats particle effects remover
-surfaceproperties.txt
-no explosion smoke script
-light particles pack
-no soundscape
does anyone else know about scripts that are sv_pure 2 compatible?
i could continue adding to this list and maybe make a clutter free thread with links added to this (hopefully it will get stickied so ppl stop asking about all the possible ways to optimize tf2)

If you use windows 8 or higher, remove all the new apps that you don't use (ex Xbox, News, Mail), as they can take up hard drive space and may cause a decrease in performance. A specific example I know is the Xbox app forces vsync.
One of my friends made a guide of a lot of OS optimizations, you can check it out here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=670264142. Removing all the new programs specifically is under windows optimizations in the guide.

Also, it's actually -noipx, but it's poinless.

ArchinatorOk so i removed all the useless launch options you have any idea why my config gives worse results?
Im p sure that it will work fine in multiplayer (with less fpsXD)
Some sv_cheats 1 commands bury fps.
If you want to raise fps, you probably need to work around cpu cvars.
Also, these joystick cvars are pointless af
and
tf_use_fixed_weaponspreads 1
wtf, lol
it's server cvar, it enables fixed spread.

Because someone went to the effort of making an fps config, working out what cvars do and what options are better for performance and you just took an old version and stuffed it full of every random cvar change you could find that one guy said improved his fps
