// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Comanglia' frames config inspired by chris, designed to get you a large performance boost
// v1.7a | 17 May 2015 | https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92187841/gfx.cfg
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Launch options:
// You don't have to remove -dxlevel from the launch options after the first launch!
//
// Fullscreen: -dxlevel 81 -full -w WIDTH -h HEIGHT -console -novid
// Windowed:   -dxlevel 81 -sw -w WIDTH -h HEIGHT -console -noborder -novid
// -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd // All of these are outdated and don't matter anymore
//
// DX Levels
// -dxlevel 80, -dxlevel 81, -dxlevel 90, -dxlevel 91, -dxlevel 95, -dxlevel 98
// if you can use -dxlevel 81 USE IT your fps will be significantly more stable, some Nvidia users may experience a weird strobing effect
// (some series of outdated nvidia drivers remove this affect)
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// FPS cap
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The primary benefit of an FPS cap is to make the FPS more stable, other than
// that, it doesn't do a lot. A moderate, consistent framerate is much more
// desirable than a variable but sometimes high framerate. A common
// misconception is that if any more frames are generated than your monitor can
// display, they are useless. This is wrong -- frames are used for much more
// than mere display, and affect the way the game feels well past your
// refresh rate.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
cl_showfps 0 // Turning this FPS meter on actually decreases fps by about 3%-4%
fps_max 0 // fps caps on PCs that consistently meet that cap causes horrible input lag when attempting to turn/aim
//fps_max 132 // I'm leaving this in here though because some PCs (usually laptops) tend to overheat and have microstutters without frame caps.

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Net settings
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Whilst net settings perhaps aren't an integral part of an FPS config, they
// are a fact of life in competitive TF2, and as such, they are included here.
//
// A common question I am asked -- what defines whether a good connection is
// good or bad? Mostly personal preference. If you're not willing to make the
// choice, try both and see which is better for you.
//
// Generally, meeting both of the following conditions would classify it as a
// good connection:
//
// - Ping of <80 to the average server you join
// - Generally no/negligible choke/loss (can be checked with `net_graph')
//
// There's some pretty good documentation on this here:
// http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_Multiplayer_Networking
//
// Uncomment (remove the `//' from) one of the groups if you want to use them.
