cl_interp 0.02273 will only be used if cl_interp_ratio is 1. If you set it higher, it will set cl_interp to 2 / 66, 3 / 66, etc since they are higher values. Setting the interp higher is useful if you have a lot of dropped packets and lag.

How many times did you run the benchmark? And in what order?

Glad to hear that! Thank you for the kind words :)

What are your launch options, and could you launch your game with -condebug +cvarlist and then share tf/console.log with me?

It's not quite dxlevel 81, but it's sorta close:

mat_phong 0 // Disable phong for flatter shading
mat_disable_lightwarp 1 // Disable light warps
mat_reducefillrate 1 // Simplify material shading and use some DX8 features
mat_hdr_level 0 // LDR
r_cheapwaterstart 0 // The distance at which transitionary cheap water starts. Has less reflectivity.
r_cheapwaterend 400 // The distance at which fully cheap water starts. Does not reflect or refract and it is solid
mat_bumpmap 0 // Disable bumpmap materials
mat_specular 0 // Disable specular materials
r_shadowrendertotexture 0 // Do not use two materials for shadows

also, you can add this dxsupport_override.cfg into your custom folder to set a few commands you can't set manually.

6.3.0 released with networking improvements, performance optimizations, documentation updates and bug fixes

Also there's a new website https://mastercoms.github.io/mastercomfig/.

What are your hardware specs, OS and config?

I believe it is a bug with OpenGL versions of TF2.

That's what the cl_interp_ratio settings are for.

6.3.0 beta5 https://github.com/mastercoms/mastercomfig/releases/tag/6.3.0-b5

I agree with sigsegv's reasoning, but currently in the 6.3.0 beta I'm experimenting with an interp of 0.02272 which should give a good balance between coping with dropped packets and less delay.

6.3.0 beta4 https://github.com/mastercoms/mastercomfig/releases/tag/6.3.0-b4

does dx8 work better than dx90 or dx95? and that is a strange bug.

I make this config out of love for the game and its community. If you really want to donate, I'd recommend donating your money to a charity.

Higher dxlevels use more advanced/newer features, which mostly take more advantage of your GPU.

Ok, I've disabled it in the latest beta. My reasoning was that the new particle system was more optimized/maintained, but I guess that benefit is lost from the usage of higher quality particle effects.
