Quoted from Tikcus

What i’d like someone to explain to me is why people with systems with decent tri/quad core cpu’s decent gpus with dx10/dx11, that are more than capbable of running tf2 with max detail at >60 fps, run an fps cfg and dx8 mode and have the game look like a game from the mid 90’s

Its smoother, and easier to see enemy

Chris stop talking bullshit

dx8 disables a lot of gpu effects, most noticably screen distortion -so the sniper scope has none, and can do better twitch shots just by seeing someone at border of screen

Chris stop talking bullshit

dx8 disables a lot of effects that use screen distortion, for instance, sniper scope has none, so you can do better twitch shots just by seeing someone at border of screen

thanks for the info, personally i like the effects so i’ll do without my game looking like a turd to try and gain a small advantage
