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 //fps_max 132 // Commented due to 2011-09-02 update causing jittering when fps is capped for some fps_max 0 // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- // 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?
