I suggest players looking for more fps should try enabling the multi-core cvars found under the threading part of chris’ configs to make better use of your multi core CPUs however, not all are stable on all systems but its worth trying out.

cl_threaded_bone_setup 1 // should give you an extra 10~ fps, potentially unstable
cl_threaded_client_leaf_system 1 //should give you another 5~ fps, potentially unstable

// other threading cvars include:

r_queued_decals 1 // potentially unstable
r_queued_ropes 1 // potentially unstable
r_queued_post_processing 1 // potentially unstable
r_threaded_client_shadow_manager 1
r_threaded_particles 1
r_threaded_renderables 1
studio_queue_mode 1
snd_mix_async 1 //Multithreaded sound. Causes the first few milliseconds of sounds to be cut off on some systems.

threadpool_affinity 1 //
My game has been stable with these cvars enabled, however, yours might not.

Pretty sure these threading thingies makes tf2 crash when playing heavy which is why chris doesnt have em in his cfg in first place

nope, I’ve had these cvars enabled for about a month now, only a couple of crashes.
I’ve tried playing heavy for a couple of maps in a pub and no crashes.

Chris is knowledgeable about the source engine but isn’t up-to-date.
However, what you said may be true on some systems.

I’ve been trying to find new cvars and tweaks since Chris isn’t maintaining anymore and the big summer update significantly lowered fps for a lot of people myself included.

more of the blind leading the blind….

do you actually understand what you are doing, as it doesn’t look like you do…

explain threadpool_affinity to me & state your sources :)

btw you may actually wish to read this thread, properly…

nicely edited there NiNJA__DC lmao…

btw threadpool_affinity appears to default to 1 anyway :D

If your so keen to dispense advice may I suggest you get another tf2 account with everything set to default and build fps config line by line and change each setting & test impact, using chris’s configs as a base if you wish.

To find all the current tf2 cvars, status & defaults, start up tf2 go to console type clear and enter to get rid of your start up spam then type cvarlist and enter
