trashhookyPretty sure something's not right, gonna try cranking up the quality and changing the dxlevel to 98for whatever reason, chris' dx9frames config is actually worse for your performance. I still have no clue as to why, and comanglia's/lqgfx still gives better performance as a whole
Most likely because it's years old and hadn't been updated for years when comanglia's configs came along.
Here's my results with comanglia's High Qualiy config and dxlevel 98:
benchmark12639 frames 17.162 seconds 153.77 fps ( 6.50 ms/f) 10.164 fps variability
benchmark24843 frames 35.387 seconds 136.86 fps ( 7.31 ms/f) 19.551 fps variability
And with dxlevel 81:
benchmark12639 frames 15.579 seconds 169.40 fps ( 5.90 ms/f) 12.497 fps variability
benchmark24843 frames 32.447 seconds 149.26 fps ( 6.70 ms/f) 20.174 fps variability
Even though I get an increase of ~15 fps on dx8, I think I should stick with dx9 since Valve seems to be supporting dx8 less and less. Obviously many people actually need that increase and should keep using dx8 until Valve removes it completely.
Also I assume overclocking will help a lot anyway, so it's kinda moot.
