Currently have an MSI R7 250 OC (the 2GB DDR3, not 1GB DDR5)
Gives me 400FPS in 720p min settings felik's config tf2, and about 150 while streaming 720p60fps same tf2 settings.

Problem is, it only has single link DVI so can only pump out a max of 75hz from my monitor (even then at stretched wierd 4:3 resolutions).

Can anyone give me some ideas of what I can upgrade to that'll support my PG248QE and give me equal frames or better).
Budget is sub 200 USD, was thinking about RX 460 2GB or GTX 1050 ti but was gonna see if anyone had other recommendations.

Edit: CPU is FX-6300

As retarded as it sounds, was playing a deathrun minigame in roblox when I was 10 and saw they had a link to the game they got the deathrun sounds and minigame idea from. Saw it was TF2, didnt really understand it was an FPS and DL'd it. Spent 15 minutes on a hightower server trying to figure the game out, then went to YouTube, googled TF2, and ended up on a VanillaTV cast. Been watching since then, but was never able to install steam/tf2 again until 2012 when I got my first laptop since my parents saw it was a shooter and went into overreact mode.

Just joined RtHL and idk
like Tim was eating fucking apples the whole 2nd scrim and was playing with one hand, and maki was bombing them as demo the whole match. Really enjoying playing medic again finally, but certain shit is kinda not what I would want out of a team. It really tilted neato and sam, and it seems like this isnt the first time this has happened as neto especially had a short fuse

I wanna play medic and the team is fun but having second thoughts

what do

Had it disabled since I got my pc, I don't think that was the problem. I have an ASUS VG248QE 144hz monitor but my gfx card only has single link DVI and HDMI 1.2 outputs, so I need to upgrade to get more than 75 hz, and even then I only get 75hz on low res 4:3 resolutions (like 640x480 like i was running). Playing was fine but windows sucks balls at that resolution and I'm getting a new GPU in the next month anyways so I was just testing out last night how viable doing that would be to get a little bit smoother gameplay.

Ok so I reinstalled the drivers and defaulted everything and it seems to be working OK. I think this may have been caused by me playing with a custom resolution yesterday to pump out extra hz from my monitor. However today I was using the default 60hz 1080p resolution profile today so idk

this is what happens when you try to use single link DVI for 144 hz :P

gonna try installing latest radeon drivers first and see if that helps

so now I can ctrl-alt-delete as a form of tabbing out, but not alt tab
windows button also works, though opening task manager wityh ctrl shift esc blackscreens it too

what the fuck
I can't even ctrl-alt-delete
It seems everything is functioning when the screen is black, just that its ya know. black.
I was able to go to switch user and re-login and get to my desktop with tf2 opened in the background

unfortunately it does not. Actually, just trying that I noticed 2 things:

1. If I exit the game by typing quit in console, it also blackscreens
   
2. If I alt tab back into the game while the screen is black, I can get back into tf2

gonna test right now and see if quitting by hitting the quit button on the main menu works

If I try to alt+tab out of tf2, my screen goes black and I can't do anything other than hard shut down/restart my computer. The same thing happens when I attempt to close rocksmith 2014 with alt+f4 instead of going through the menus and hitting close. This is a big issue for tf2 b/c of editing configs or having stuff like pugchamp/mixchamp open or going to change mumbles. This only recently started happening. These are my software/hardware specs:

Windows version: Windows 10 Professional
Config: Felik's Config
DX Level: 98
Launch Options: -novid -dxlevel 98
CPU: FX-6300 Stock Clock (3.6 GHz)
GPU: MSI R7 250 2GB DDR3 Stock Clock (1100MHz GPU 900MHz memory)
RAM: 1x8GB DDR3 1600MHz

Any help would be appreciated, ty!
