#650 Comanglia's Config / FPS Guide in Customization
ComangliaHUDs
Which HUD provides the best FPS?

Here's what I've tested so far!!!
http://teamfortress.tv/thread/20172/my-fps-config/?page=1#29

Now for the most important part of any CFG thread.

BENCHMARKS Date Taken: May 18th, 2015
Specs of PC used
CPU = i5 4670k @4.2GHz
GPU = ASUS R9 270x
RAM = 8 GB DDR3 @1600MHz
OS = Windows 7

All benchmarks are after I did my Guide up to step 7 (except personal best)

m0re's config

m0re's config with Shadows and Ragdolls off

Chris Max Frames
2639 frames 13.050 seconds 202.23 fps ( 4.94 ms/f) 10.944 fps variability

Chris Max Frames with cl_threaded_bone_setup 1
2639 frames 11.858 seconds 222.55 fps ( 4.49 ms/f) 11.972 fps variability

Max FPS for High Quality PCs
2639 frames 11.478 seconds 229.91 fps ( 4.35 ms/f) 13.286 fps variability

Max FPS for Mid Quality PCs
2639 frames 12.746 seconds 207.04 fps ( 4.83 ms/f) 10.126 fps variability

Max FPS for Potatos / Toasters (640 x 480)
2639 frames 12.587 seconds 209.66 fps ( 4.77 ms/f) 11.286 fps variability

Chris Max Quality (-dxlevel 98)
2639 frames 23.826 seconds 110.76 fps ( 9.03 ms/f) 3.750 fps variability

Comanglia's Cinema Config (-dxlevel 98)
2639 frames 25.180 seconds 104.81 fps ( 9.54 ms/f) 3.260 fps variability

Comanglia's Caster Config (-dxlevel 98)
2639 frames 22.196 seconds 118.90 fps ( 8.41 ms/f) 4.239 fps variability

Personal All Time Best (using some of the most aggressive settings I know but really shouldn't be used)
2639 frames 11.042 seconds 239.00 fps ( 4.18 ms/f) 12.702 fps variability

I didn't add Rhapsody's Config as he's setup his config in a way that's meant for users to edit it via certain key presses, so any benchmark I give for this wouldn't be true for all users.

Screenshots

http://www.twitch.tv/comanglia I have some highlights with using this CFG, you might even see it live.

Max FPS for Mid Quality PCs
Exactly the same as above, most of the commands I changed are related to threading in TF2.

Max FPS for Potatoes and Toasters (I upscaled these to 1080i just to give people an idea of how bad this really looks on most monitors)

Comanglia's Cinema Config
still need to make some screenshots; major difference between this and chris's maxquality, is significantly less fog and haze.

FAQ

Q: What is the best OS for FPS?
A: Technically speaking Linux, but for most users it's actually Windows 8.1

Q: How much time have you put into this?
A: Rough Guess? 70-100hrs Since I've kept keep track (May 14th, 2015) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11dA7_Fw0vkkHPN3emCmDyx6znBrtPJl4LDdrCTVm6rY/edit?usp=sharing

Q: My Game is stuttering a lot? (Laptop Users)
A: Add a FPS cap I typically recommend around fps_max 132

Q: Why is m_rawinput set to 0? (I've commented this section out)
A: Certain programs are not compatible with it, some OS's don't work well with it, and some people use alternative versions of rawinput that can't have this on.

Q: How/Where can I add you at?
A: If you can't figure this out you probably shouldn't add me.

Q: Why are my map textures strobing?
A: You're probably running an Nvidia card while in DX 8, either switch to DX 9 or in some cases update your driver.

Q: What does "x" command do?
A: I may or may not know ask below.

Q: I'm crashing a lot and I don't know why?
A: If you're not using my Stable or Toaster versions, odds are it's cause you have a below quad-core cpu OR having a DX 9 error OR you crashed when alt+tabbing and should take out -dxlevel from the launch options.

Thank You's / Credits

Chris - Without him NONE of this would've happened at least from me
Rhapsody - If he didn't post a config awhile back that I thought he messed up pretty badly on I probably wouldn't have released mine. That and he helped me with a lot of testing / finding some new commands.
The Regime / Moose - Without having played on this team or spoken with Moose I wouldn't have found this config, or had much reason to update it.
All of you - Reason why I still update this, and have decided to make more configs to fit a wider array of users.
Valve - For letting so many commands be user defined.
meb - for making the TF2 Benchmark thread to give us a basis for improving on our configs
