-full -w 1920 -h 1080 -console -refresh 144 -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -noff -nohltv -softparticlesdefaultoff -reuse -primarysound -snoforceformat -swapcores

ik the refresh command is pointless but I don't imagine it hurts

edit: I'm also getting the occasional microstutter that I wasn't getting without a config

It increases startup time and resets some settings every time you load.

full, w, h and refresh should do hurt, as they can force non-optimal video modes for the material system. It's better to set video settings in the options.

What are your specs and OS?

Okay, I'll get rid of those.

I got some benchmarks for Comanglia's config vs mastercomfig:
Resolution 1024x768, 4:3 aspect ratio
CPU: i3-6006U
GPU: Intel HD 520

mastercomfig, dxlevel 9.0
2639 frames 34.090 seconds 77.41 fps (12.92 ms/f) 6.579 fps variability

mastercomfig, dxlevel 9.1
2639 frames 33.606 seconds 78.53 fps (12.73 ms/f) 6.422 fps variability

Comanglia's Config, delevel 9.0
2639 frames 34.357 seconds 76.81 fps (13.02 ms/f) 6.497 fps variability

Comanglia's Config, dxlevel 9.1
2639 frames 33.796 seconds 78.09 fps (12.81 ms/f) 6.524 fps variability

So my experience is that the difference is negligible, but it does seem to help performance when I'm recording ingame.

Are you using the igpu addon? Also, what preset are you using?

I got rid of them and my game was completely fucked. Insane screen tearing. But I put -refresh 144 back in and it seems fine. Funny that I've seen so many people insist you don't need that command.

Also still takes a long time to alt+tab.

In what situations/setups is r_queued_post_processing worth it? says its supposed to give a performance improvement but did the opposite with my GTX 970

mastercoms 5.1.3 - fresh install - mat_dxlevel 90
r_queued_post_processing 0
2639 frames 32.692 seconds 80.72 fps (12.39 ms/f) 4.151 fps variability
2639 frames 32.836 seconds 80.37 fps (12.44 ms/f) 3.718 fps variability
r_queued_post_processing 1 
2639 frames 33.292 seconds 79.27 fps (12.62 ms/f) 3.741 fps variability
2639 frames 33.075 seconds 79.79 fps (12.53 ms/f) 3.808 fps variability

also net_compresspackets 0 could probably be added to the "stripped" addon, it saves some CPU cycles

Kinda late to the party but -nosrgb causes unplayable issues for me even though it improves fps.

What it does is, it removes a lot of borders and makes the team selection screen one blank color, makes all classes invisible, and makes most weapons invisible (e.g. Market Gardener, though some like the Direct Hit are still visible). There's also a black line on the right side of my screen similar to https://i.imgur.com/wdsMYUK.jpg (from #130).

Removing that launch option fixed the issue. I use Dx81.

mastercomfig disables post processing effects, so it only gives a boost when those are enabled, for example on the maxquality config.

Splitpackets require more CPU cycles, and packet compression reduces the likelihood of splitpackets being used.

Yep, it's supposed to be something for really bad computers so they can squeeze out every last bit of FPS.

Should any of these be in maxperformance.cfg? Comments in comfig.cfg seem to suggest they might improve fps

r_renderoverlayfragment 0
r_maxmodeldecal 0
cl_phys_props_max 0

Also, you don't mention whether these commands would help, but intuition suggests they might

r_shadowmaxrendered 0
tf_enable_glows_after_respawn 0
tf_playergib 0

This was missing from the performance oriented presets, thanks.

These are already disabled, no need to adjust the max count.

Already disabled with glow_outline_effect_enable 0.

Already disabled with props_break_max_pieces 0.

I play on an awful toaster. And I don't have too much info either. Brace yourself.

I used to use Comanglia's config and got from 40-110 fps on my laptop. Recently it has been much worse because of jungle update. I tried this config because it seemed more updated, however even with max performance preset and iGpu addon, I still dip below 20. Could someone please help.

Hey I Was Wondering If Transparent Viewmodles Worked For any Body Else Because For Me I Have None

I have a really bad computer and that really helped my fps, but honestly who would use that? What's the point of good fps if it's at the cost of not being able to see enemy players?

If you know that people have been having issues with this (and others like -nops2b) I'd recommend noting that it CAN be bad instead of simply saying "FPS boost on weak GPUs" which makes it sound like it can help for old computers but won't affect others.

-nosrgb already says the effects it has on lighting and colors.

I'm not aware of any problems -nops2b has besides thicker fog. Plus, for -nops2b it says "more frames on really old/bad GPUs" because it does only affect those, and can possibly make it worse for newer cards.

It's up to people to use it if they want to based on what it does. I just want to create more options for people and allow for greater customization and choice.

There should be some commands you have to do for transparent viewmodels. You also have to be on dx9.

I would recommend using a lower DX level, like 90 instead of 95. Also, try setting your resolution in video settings rather than in a launch option, people have reported a small FPS loss from using the launch options.

I actually used to use dx 90 but I switched to 95 because I could not see flame particles.

I would also like to add that I used to be able to go over 60, but now I am capped at 60 even though in the console i entered fps_max 132

Do you have vsync on?

Yes, I have mat_vsync 0. I would also like to add that there are several random crashes.

I believe there is a bug on some systems that caps FPS at 60 if you have fps_max on anything but 0.

That shouldn't be a problem anymore with recent fixes to flame particles.

Ok I switched to dx 90. It is better, but even though I am pretty sure shadows are disabled, i still see dark blobs under people sometimes. Another thing is that on some maps like koth_sawmill, the cp area and the people are so dark that I cannot tell which team they are on.

Tried it, definitely a nice improvement, but the only issue I have so far is that sometimes players aren't animated when moving and stuff.

Which command or commands are affecting this?

That's not the config affecting that it's a exploit in the game with the contract pda to stop animations(at least what i can see from the screenshot)

I decided to take the time and do some benchmarks for each preset on a modern pc

EDIT: tested again, got better results. Would recommend no preset if your PC can handle it.

Oh! I have never seen it before and started seeing it after installing the config. Thanks!

Yeah it was recently popularized by a certain YouTuber.

would dxlevel 95 be more stable/better performing than dxlevel 90? what about 98?

Could you take some screenshots of these shadows?

The darkness can be solved with r_worldlightmin 0.004.

It depends on your hardware.

Let me restate it. -nosrgb says that it disables SRGB, which "limits variety of colors, brighter lighting, flatter colors". How does that translate into "invisible players, mostly invisible weapons", which is the issue I had?

Unless of course my No Hats mod somehow conflicts with disabling SRGB... hm...

Even if it is No Hats mod, I genuinely don't understand why you think any reasonable human being would want invisible players for more fps in a first-person shooter game given what I had said. It's like saying "here's an option to destroy your gameplay, but hey, it makes you die more smoothly".

Oh and, also, for "m_limitedcapture_workaround 1 // Workaround for mouse capture issues introduced in Windows 10 build 1703", what mouse capture issues specifically is this for?

Thanks for the help.
