you gonna believe a guy in a spongebob t shirt?

not really surprising, there hasnt been a vac related to lmaobox since jungle inferno. you could buy lmaobox right now and be completely fine as long as you dont cheat 100% obvious. there will for sure be more and more cheaters poppin up

to anyone having this issue, removing "-particles 1 -precachefontchars" from my launch options fixed it. probably only one of the two that causes it idk

whenever people start burning, wether im playing pyro or someone else gets hit by a pyro, my game starts to stutter incredibly hard. anything i can do to fix this?

to anyone hoping to get a boost out of this: just install mastercomfig, set your pcs performance plan to high performance, tweak your nvidia settings and stop trying to do voodoo magic to your pc

perfect, thank you!

for anyone looking to buy a 144 / 240 hz monitor, i can only recommend the offical benq outlet.
https://www.benq.eu/en-eu/refurbished-shop/refurbished-zowie-monitor.html
was able to get a xl2450 for 260€, after selling my old XL 144hz spending 170€ total.
the packaging was a bit damaged and the display language of the monitor was set to chinese but apart from that it was like brand new when it arrived.

thanks for the in depth reply. alright so a) new gpu and psu or b) new build right? I'm kind of on the fence of just building something new from scratch since i've been working and saving up quite a lot lately and i get pretty terrible frames on this pc and pretty bad input lag (around 130-160 fps on gully mid for example on mastercom low dx95) and upgrading the gpu should in theory not do much since tf2 is cpu bound. so my train of thought is, that my current pc is just a lost cause and upgrading around wont do too much.

edit: on 144hz.
judging from that imgur it would probably be smarter to recycle the i7, could probably also save some if i convert the ram

alright so here we go. swapped out the case and the gpu for some cheaper alternatives

i have an i7-7700 cpu in my current pc which i could use and spare some money. should i just use that (of course then i would have to use a different motherboard than the msi b450) or is the amd ryzen 5 3600x going to outperform my i7? main goal is source game performance

I've got a HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p0XX atm and i'm looking to juice it up a bit . I don't know much about tech stuff so i'd be happy about some input about what parts would work well / which parts i should replace.
I'm pretty unhappy with the cooling of the graphics card, on tf2 it stays around 50 degrees but on more modern games it jumps up to 80 degrees. i guess a different case and coolers will help with this?

specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3601 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 2GB
16gb ram ddr4 DDR4-2400 SDRAM
Mainboard Intel H270
and 2 harddrives 1 128 gb ssd and a 1tb hdd which im pretty happy with
tried to get as much information as possible but i couldnt find any specifis on the motherboard or the memory

downgrade your nvidia driver to this version, its a problem with the new drivers

https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/159884/en-us

fixed by downgrading to nvidia driver 446.14

https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/159884/en-us

enable fullscreen optimizations fixes it but i get way worse frames with it. do you know by any chance to which driver version i should downgrade?

sometimes when i alt tab, my mat_monitorgamma resets to 2.2. checking console it still says 1.6. i have to change the value to something different and then back to 1.6 to get the high gamma back. Now and then this also happpens when i launch tf2 out of the box. Another issue that comes with it, is that it drastically drops my fps to bellow 140.
What ive tried so far:
New clean tf2 install
New Nvidia Driver Install

any help is appreciated pce

edit: using mastercoms Low
