Which tier of graphics settings do you run at? - Games

[QUOTE=CrazyBaconLegs;18999662]Splain... I know what novid is, and high now... sw? noborder? dxlevel 95?[/QUOTE] noborder removes the border when playing in windowed dxlevel 95 is for Directx9+

Wow thanks Helelos, Retrieving server info took like 15 seconds compared to 3 minutes

[QUOTE=RJ102;18999750]Wow thanks Helelos, Retrieving server info took like 15 seconds compared to 3 minutes[/QUOTE] No prob, with TF2 at high and Steam at low (which eats a lot of system resources) things load much quicker If you want to load TF2 even faster, put these in launch options: -novid -toconsole

[QUOTE=Helelos;18999714]noborder removes the border when playing in windowed dxlevel 95 is for Directx9+[/QUOTE] Okay, both of those are useless to me. After asking that question, I went and found this: [url]http://supportwiki.steampowered.com/wiki/Setting_Game_Launch_Options[/url] And there we go. All questions answered.

I run it at minimum graphics, AA set to 2, an fps of 28-30.

[QUOTE=leach139;18997415]All Max w/V-Sync + 8xAA - Runs at about 70FPS in a firefight. I love this rig.[/QUOTE] Using v-sync and getting 70fps... Most monitors as far as I'm aware run at 60Hz, running with V-Sync means your absolute max fps is 60.

Everything max, full AA motion blur n shit 1440 x 900 wide screen, also does anyone know the 2 commands that make the faces more detailed or whatever?

Higher than you can choose through the graphics menu.

Dx8 with specular on, Oldschool model pack and AA on. Everything high otherwise.

Mix between high and medium for the perfect quality/fps combo.

All on low with and FPS config at 800x600 on a laptop that used to run it flawlessly on High.

[QUOTE=GrimBloodyFable;18994092]All low, Max FPS config, old school pack. I don't need your sympathy.[/QUOTE] This.

Could not be lower if i tried. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA7My2hWywQ[/media]

[QUOTE=haksword;19013455]Could not be lower if i tried. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA7My2hWywQ[/media][/QUOTE] Do NOT use mat_lowrestexture or whatever it's called, it actually overlays the pixelated stuff on top of the rest, making it UGLY and SLOWER

I have most/everything maxed I think... AMD Phenom II X3 OC'd to 3.4GHz and an nVidia GeForce 9600 GT I get around 60-70fps ingame (400fps on the menu :V) Fairly new PC for me :) -EDIT- Oh yeah, and 1440x900 resolution

All maxed out, with 16xQ AA. (As high as AA goes.) About 70-100 FPS depending on the map. :smug:

Maxed out baby! :c00l:

1280x1024, all high, 4xAA 8xAF. Average between 30-40 FPS Looks nice :buddy:

Maxed out with the ultra-high settings on noborder @ 1680x1050. Intel Q6600 + Radeon HD 4890 70+ fps all the time :)

[QUOTE=SantanaDVX;19012298]For ultra-max settings. Higher than you can choose through the graphics menu.[/QUOTE] I get audio lag from these settings, what could probably cause it? [editline]01:21AM[/editline] ...help?

Highest. but framerate drops with every update.

Highest settings, 1440x900, 4xAA. Smooth 60FPS.

Lowest of the lowest. :smith:

Maxed with noborder, 1920x1080 (AA is useless at this resolution) 60 fps. (60hz)

lowest settings, but that will change soon I hope, the only thing holding my computer back is the video card.
