Actually it's pretty fine in-game but when i record it through GeForce experience it doesn't look smooth. Still it has 200+ fps at the moment of recording. I also use lawena for launching tf2 to force high quality settings.
PC:
Win8 64b
1060 6gb
i-5 6400 2,70 GHz
Any ideas to make it look smoother? Maybe there are some special Sony Vegas settings?

don't record footage, set fps_max to your render target and record with start_movie, which renders frame by frame perfectly. stitch the frames together to render your footage losslessly later.

edit: sorry use host_framerate not fps_max. end recording with end_movie.

so in order:

sv_cheats 1; host_framerate 60
load up your demo to the first tick
start_movie mymovie
play your demo
end_movie

and then each frame will exist as a tga in your game folder

you can also try messing with the suffix "h264" (so that's "start_movie mymovie h264") to record directly to a video file so you don't need to further process the frames or worry about disk space. the advantage though is it's still frame by frame with perfect frametimes, which GFE is far from.
