So i found a link on teamfortress.tv to a 2011! article
http://www.toptiertactics.com/5965/team-fortress-2-optimization-and-insanity/
Basically the author tells us that he gets more fps with the Chris Maxquality config, and less with the maxframes one.
Any thoughts on this?

Maxframes is dx8 and everything else is DirectX 9. The graphics pipeline has change a lot since then and DirectX 8 doesn’t seem to be supported that well anymore. Additionally dx9 seems to be better optimized in the source engine.

Quoted from Cuttlefish

Maxframes isn’t that good for fps anyway compared to m0re highfps.

really? any idea what exactly the difference is? because i can’t really imagine they’re that different..

I tested it a while back an m0re’s highframes gave me about 10fps more than chris’ highframes. Doesn’t really matter for me as I get enough fps already but it could be interesting to someone who gets low fps.

Can’t explain it, but it works. Try it if you’re sceptical.

i’m just curious :j

can anyone here confirm if this is the most recent version? is it even the right one?

thanks Solid/Cuttlefish.

seems outdated, though :< (for example it has -heapsize in it, which isn't used anymore.)

Quoted from Popcorp

Sometimes Graphics card can’t support Low textures, it puts too much pressure on them to Lower textures to Minecraft level, so a graphics card that was made for High textures will give more fps if using High graphics.

That’s what i heard at least in some forum long time ago, but i can’t say it’s true or not
