that is entirely dependent on your hardware, if you have older hardware you get better frames with older software (dx8) if you have new hardware that's actually modern you're in most cases gonna get a very small fps boost in dx8 and in other cases no boost at all. that's just because of the amount of props/effects not supported. i'm running a ryzen 2400g apu and i only get around 10 more frames on dx8 than 9

@mastercomms
agreed up till the last point, even if they had an easier time to dev this stuff they'd obviously still not do it :/
agreed with everything else tho

After getting a rig that can handle tf2, i decided to start messing around with dx levels, to see what would work best for me. After a bit of experimenting i found something a bit weird, going to 80 from 90 (or any dx9 level for that matter) and then back to 90 gives some different looking results than just launching the game on a stock set direct x level.
(i do not know if you get these same results by having dx level in your launch options).

Upward | badwater but seperate
Badwater | upward but seperate
(using an updated comanglia's config in all examples)

This can give an advantage for people in specific areas as this not only weirdly sharpens the textures but also clears the fog a little bit and makes the game brighter.
Upward usual sniper position this example is of both dx 8 and dx9 with the changes.
It's not as dramatic of a change as some may expect but there is a difference from regular dx 9 (i've had to open my game too many times to bother getting another screenshot so just live with this) It's a more dramatic difference on a dark map like badwater though.

Till now I've not seen a thread about this specific thing so I thought i might as well make one, Enjoy. =)

i disagree that it's our fault though, if they fuck up it's their fault for letting this happen, yes we're the ones that abused this but think of this from a real life situation, if you could get something worth 100 euros for 5 euros you'd do it in a heartbeat, don't even try to put morals on this, this is in no way the fault of the players and 100% the fault of valve
even if half the players had the same view as @ninlop the economy would still die from this, and simply knowing that you're just being an idiot by not abusing that, besides even if you put morals into this, you'd still be one of the people lining up to take free money in an irl situation, if you already know that it's gonna destroy the economy why not just accept it and join in, you're not helping at all with this, think of the massive amount of people that came back to the game to do this bug, if you took all the players like b4nny swearing off doing this you probably wouldn't even get 1% of the people who know about this and abused it.
your morals aren't wrong but jesus fuck it's a dead game just enjoy the fireworks as we all join in mutually assured destruction, it's already a guarantee. what's the point in fighting the inevitable? and don't pretend like you wouldn't do this anyway. you might say you wouldn't but lets be honest all the people saying they wouldn't would be the first people to line up for this kind of stuff, you can deny it as much as you want but realistically the stats speak against you, regardless of how strong your morals are, a good enough price will make any man crumble.

if you're not a chad and can't bench atleast 5kg don't @ me
legit tho, you obviously can't measure a person's life quality with a simple number but if you're getting lower than 100 on this you might wanna re-evaluate some things about your life.

don't know if you've been informed about this or not
when you scroll up in the window you get double the options

might not be much but hows about everybody write a negative review for the game with these 2 videos linked?
would probs bring more attention to this than a simple thread on tf.tv
