TF2 Framerate drops

Since I just noticed that the framerate drops only occur when changing from an area, for instance when moving through a door to an outdoor part of a map, I thought could it perhaps be some kind of slowness in loading the models/particles when you enter the specific visleaf? Would there be a convar for this?

Okay, as it seems it is something network related I guess. When I play snowie’s benchmark demo with every setting at default I get around 200 fps. When I crank up every setting to the max, I get around 175 fps. (both give the best result with multicore rendering enabled). According to the timedemo command, it only has a very small variance in fps. I haven’t noticed a thing about this when really playing tf2.

And since the only difference between a demo and actual playing is the network part..
Any further suggestions?

The problem is that I cannot play in pubs normally, while I definately should be able to with this rig. Getting huge drops of fps when I change from areas (peeking around corners) and when there’s a lot of spam.

And it has worked properly before, having a constant 120 fps in the middle of a spammy battle.

I get this issue too. Somehow with every update I get a dip in fps, when everything works perfectly normal before it :/
