2639 frames 11.816 seconds 223.34 fps ( 4.48 ms/f) 13.420 fps variability

Last update^

was using same settings and PC as before

2639 frames 11.478 seconds 229.91 fps ( 4.35 ms/f) 13.286 fps variability

about to release a benchmark for the no-explosion smoke script

2639 frames 11.524 seconds 229.00 fps ( 4.37 ms/f) 13.135 fps variability

2.5% Improvement for me, would recommend the no-explosion script.
I used the .vpk one here http://www.teamfortress.tv/post/449092/no-explosion-smoke-script

I'll test again when I get home, but their's no way performance would've dropped by 20%. It would've been noticeable in everyone of my configs.

No. This is exactly how I do it.

Pls move to this thread.

I really hope some people sign up to do this.

Would love to see video about when to offclass, and when to stop offclassing.

2639 frames 15.886 seconds 166.12 fps ( 6.02 ms/f) 7.576 fps variability

2639 frames 16.154 seconds 163.37 fps ( 6.12 ms/f) 12.263 fps variability

2639 frames 15.901 seconds 165.96 fps ( 6.03 ms/f) 11.996 fps variability

You don't have real proof of that. (you could argue maybe on the price point, but it's certainly not the best in pure performance)

I have tested with the exact same settings as infinity on my stability config with an i5 AND had a lower clock rate, with the same plugins, the same GPU even, but on Win 7 an OS that get's slightly less FPS than Win 8.1.
Only difference that I can immediately discern between our 2 tests is that I made sure Google chrome was closed, and even then that wouldn't account for a 40fps difference especially when I have a lower clock rate.

-edit-
Hell you can just look at Phunk's result. http://www.teamfortress.tv/post/467937/tf2-benchmarks
i7, with a lower clock rate, using a Max Quality config with shadows on with -dxlevel 98
get's basically the exact same FPS. The pentium is by and far not the best in terms of performance.

I have a detailed step by step guide on that thread.

You have A LOT of redundancies in your cfg.

"cl_localnetworkbackdoor "1"
cl_muzzleflash_dlight_1st "0"
cl_muzzleflash_dlight_1st "0"  
cl_localnetworkbackdoor "0"

"
^ just 1 example, I also noticed ragdolls were turned off twice.

hud_deathnotice_time "1"

Was I wrong in my assumption people wanted to be able to see who died for more than 1 second?

r_queued_post_processing "1"

as has been noted in one of my thread this command causes issues for people who do use post processing and have AMD cards

cl_threaded_bone_setup 0 

You have this under audio, this command is related to adding a thread for model bone animations. I'm also curious as to how you had better fps with this off than my FPS config for quality PCs.

-edit-

showhitlocation "1"

about 90% sure this is for CSS and CSGO only

I've only played once on a server that does this, but prec didn't exec on round start.

$100 for a new PSU? LOL, hmm actually he might have to pay shipping but still

You could also make the case that playing on Red makes blue players more likely to play overly aggressive, or that red players might play to passively against Blue players.

Some real placebos

1. I aim better with the AWPerhand than I do with the sniper rifle (or vice versa) can be used with any weapons that are identical (Original and Rocket Launcher do not count)
2. Hats make me better. (or worse) Note: some hats make you stand out, or make you head look weird to a sniper though
3. I do better with Custom HUD 1 than Custom HUD 2 (true for the majority of HUDs assuming they don't do much to block sight)
4. I do better as X color on Viaduct / any other mirror map.
