Whiskerah just saw your last message, but here are the new benchmarks:

Very strange how maxfps is not having effect on FPS.
How are you installing the config? And what does your exec usage look like?

you named yourself after literally the worst god

TF2 historically does not seem to like my PC :(
Are you referring to using -autoconfig between each config or using it once before beginning all of these benchmarks? If the former, I can re-do some. I'm not sure of the proper benchmarking procedures :D
I think it is fine to use -autoconfig while benchmarking because I believe that the autoexec runs after autoconfig.
WhiskerHere are my benchmarks using meb's ancient demo. The more recent benchmark demo causes my TF2 to crash and I'm not sure if there's any other currently used :(.
Regardless, hopefully this is still in some capacity helpful:

e: can you daisy chain `exec` commands? if not, I goofed and the `maxframes` cfg wasn't properly being read. It appears you can, but I tested again and updated the img anyways.
What are your specs and OS? Also, did you -autoconfig for when you used a new config? And yes, you should be able to daisy chain exec commands (as in, have exec commands in multiple files). At the bottom of my config, there is a commented exec for using maxframes.
stabbynet_compresspackets 0
net_splitrate to 3
net_queued_packet_thread 581304
I tried the above cvar values, and got no negative effects. net_queued_packet_thread had 0 impact FPS when benchmarked, but perhaps that's because it's offline? Not enough time with them yet to be sure, but I must say hit reg "feels" better (again, still totally in the placebo zone, but interesting)
The FPS impact of net_queued_packet_thread is entirely dependent on your CPU.
Did you test "net_splitrate to 3"? Just making sure...
bearodactylCan someone give me a TL;DR?
For those of us who don't want to read through the whole thread/setsul shitstorm, is there actually any reason to switch over to this from comanglias or is it just gonna give 2fps increase at the cost of not being able to make local servers without your tf2 catching aids and dying in a dumpster fire
A lot of people were also saying that it is smoother/less stuttering.
I don't think there was Setsul shitstorm, just a discussion with a bunch of misunderstandings.
There is a single command that makes you unable to move in local servers, which you can fix by setting host_thread_mode 0 when you are using a local server.
dod3fNope, remember reading somewhere in this thread that it would boosted the fpses only with very bad pcs, i'll do a test now
EDIT: Just did the test, the cfg with the maxframes preset its the one that performed the best (+2 fps than comanglia's stability)
You mean #193? I was saying true toaster configs would only boost FPS with very bad PCs, but my maxframes config was for boosting FPS on any PC.
Also, the launch options I suggested work best on dx9.
dod3fI forgot in the last benchmarks i posted here that i had shadows active in the comanglia's config
btw did a bunch of more accurate benchmarks
https://pastebin.com/Lhn730QD
If someone knows other ways to get a more "realistic" and accurate benchmark (live 6s, hl games) with minimal perfomance loss tell me so I'll do more tests
Did you use my maxframes.cfg addon?
cl_cmdrate 66
cl_updaterate 66
cl_interp_ratio 2
net_compresspackets 0
net_splitrate 3
rate 167580
net_maxcleartime 0.5
net_maxpacketdrop 100
net_splitpacket_maxrate 167581
Add to launch options: -reuse -usetcp
And you could also try net_queued_packet_thread 581304 if you have a really good CPU.
Variyour alias uses alliteration beautifully
your steam display names are very clever
HoppsIs an AMD FX-8350 powerful enough to handle it?
What are the benefits of this and will it impact my framerate?
Not sure, probably not. It gives you better network performance but lower framerates, depending on your CPU.
Hoppshttp://www.teamfortress.tv/35467/on-the-correct-value-of-zoom-sensitivity-ratio
The correct value is 0.793471 for tf2
Good to know, thanks.
dod3fBenchmarks
Thanks for these benchmarks. Though, I would recommend testing dx9 as well, for yourself. dx9 takes better advantage of your hardware and can result in more frames with modern configs like mine. However, if it is just visual preference, then I guess dx8 is fine. Also I have a favor to ask of you, if I may. Could you individually benchmark each launch option I suggest? Maybe then we can find the culprit which is slowing everything down.
EDIT: Do you not have a space between -dxlevel and 81?
quantumhow do you disable these effects, they are disabled in comanglia's config, but i can't find the command
Is this from the sniper you are looking at? Or is it an impact from your firing?
osvaldonet_splitrate to 3
I looked at TF2 network usage and determined that the best split rate to reliably transfer enough data per frame was 2 to 3, with 3 being on the safe side. However, with some reevaluation I am considering changing the value to 2.
osvaldocl_smoothtime to 0.15
This is based on human reaction times, though I should consider how different situations will cause different smoothing movements to occur to adjust the value further.
osvaldowhat do you consider to be a "fast enough network" ?
2 times the rate I set. Rate is in bytes per second.
osvaldonet_queued_packet_thread 581304
This doesn't rely on your network performance, just on your CPU's ability to handle the network code. You'll probably need a beefy CPU to run fully threaded network mode.
zoom_sensitivity_ratio
It was from a /r/GlobalOffensive post I read about the CVar. https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/43urd4/why_0818933027098955175_is_the_best_zoom/
Though, to be honest, I didn't investigate it myself and just took whatever he said in that post to be correct.
Is anyone experiencing input lag with this cfg?
It could just be placebo, but it really feels like I have a fair bit of input lag :/
System specs? Avg FPS?
5. Core parking is not a bad thing. The OS is much smarter about knowing what cores to use a specific time, so it intelligently parks cores.
9. The registry key is wrong. If it was a good idea to set it, the DWORD should be in \Device Parameters\Interrupt Management\MessageSignaledInterruptProperties. However, the driver has a better idea than you to set this setting, so you shouldn't do it. It can cause overusage of the CPU and slowdowns.
Ninlopthis would be down to gpu and cpu limitations, AFAIK if your pc is cpu limited then you'll find that graphics settings will have little to no affect on your frame rate but lowering your resolution will increase frame rates, and if your pc is gpu limited then you'll find that resolution has little to no effect on frame rates but lowering graphics settings will increase frame rates
most people won't be in one extreme they'll likely be slightly gpu limited or slightly cpu limited, so its a safe bet to run on lowest settings and youll most likely see an improvement
Resolution is more intensive on the GPU than CPU. Things like prop physics, ragdolls, some lighting calculations, sound, etc are affected by CPU performance.
