TF2: Cal's FPS Config

// Unexplained crashes? Try changing mat_queue_mode to `-1'.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Cal's improvements on Chris' maxframes config, designed to get you an even larger performance boost
// v1.2 | 05 January 2017
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 		Change Log:
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Commented some commands that rendered "unknown command" in console
// Re-aligned some text
// Added in some smaller commands (may provide a slight FPS boost)
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 		Launch options:
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// -dxlevel 80/81/90 - DirectX version. Optimal for FPS is 81. IMPORTANT: Remove -dxlevel ##
							// from the launch options after the first launch!
// -full - Full Screen
// -sw - Windowed
// -noborder - Removes window border on windowed mode
// -w #### - Width
// -h #### - Height
// -console - Enables developer console
// -novid - Removes Valve logo from launch
// -useforcedmparms - Allows "-noforcemspd" and "-noforcemaccel"
// -noforcemspd - Use Windows Mouse Speed. Made obsolete by m_rawinput 1.
// -noforcemaccel - Use Windows Mouse Acceleration. Made obsolete by m_rawinput 1.
//
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 		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.
//
// This FPS cap should *always* be set to a value higher than `cl_cmdrate' in
// any case, or the discrepancy between clientside frame generation and frames
// to be sent to the server will no doubt cause you many a headache, especially
// when it comes down to hit registration. Other than that, I recommend
// for everyone to use the value `132' (2*66), as long as you can generally
// keep that value stable without regular drops.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//cl_showfps 1 // Show unsmoothed FPS meter. Turning this FPS meter on actually decreases fps by about 3%-4%.
//fps_max 75 // Commented due to 2011-09-02 update causing jittering when fps is capped for some. Also I'm leaving
			// this in here though because some PCs (usually laptops) tend to overheat and have microstutters without frame caps.
//fps_max 0 //fps caps on PCs that consistently meet that cap causes horrible input lag when attempting to turn/aim

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 		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
//
// cl_cmdrate ## - Number of command packets sent to the server per second. The tricks
				// to get 1.4ms lerp are placebo; you're still forced to .0152
// cl_interp # - Interpolate x seconds from game (0.02 = 20ms).cl_interp_ratio does the limiting, but this sets the minimum available.
				// Change to whatever you like for certain classes:
				// Projectiles/popping uber/flames = .0152
				// hitscan = .031
				// bad connections = .062
// cl_interp_ratio # - Sets the interpolation amount (final amount is cl_interp_ratio / cl_updaterate).
// cl_lagcompensation 0/1 - Perform server side lag compensation of weapon firing events.
// cl_pred_optimize 1/2 - Optimize for not copying data if didn't receive a network update (1), and
				// also for not repredicting if there were no errors (2)
// cl_smooth 0/1 - Attempts to smooth the view after prediction errors.
// cl_smoothtime #.## - Time over which to smooth the view after prediction errors if cl_smooth is enabled.
// cl_updaterate ## - Number of packets/sec requested from the server. The tricks
				// to get 1.4ms lerp are placebo; you're still forced to .0152
// rate ###### - Max bytes/sec the host can receive data. Anything above 62,000 is completely useless;
				// anything above 48,000ish is useless in HL
//
