Highest Graphics possible for TF2.

[QUOTE=NotMeh;15625056]5 or so is plenty?[/QUOTE]

What do you want screenshots of and I'll take 'em, they'll be at 1680*1050 rather than whatever the max is, but it'll be okay

[ambushsabre]

All the faces

[Space Spam Squi]

Yeah, stuff in general. Particularly death freezecam shots.

Try using some damn character models instead of just taking a picture of the map when LOD applies to MODELS.

Have you even looked at the details yet? Look at the lamp.

[yellowoboe]

r_lod 0 looks better to me.

[nixnax123]

Say I wanted to make an autoexec out of every command in this page. Which folder should I put autoexec.cfg in?

[yellowoboe]

team fortress 2/tf/cfg

[.Omo]

Can anyone make a autoexec with all the commands in this thread?

[Fangus]

what does
r_rootlod -10 do?

For those of you having trouble installing autoexec just extract this into your steamapps folder
[url]http://rapidshare.com/files/253854373/autoexec.7z[/url]
Do not use the filesmelt one, my bad, it will automatically close TF2, I meant to send it to my freind to annoy him. Sorry

[Stinky]

ARGH I hate you guys. My graphics card is horrible. I have my TF2 at DXLevel 80 and mat_showlowresimage 1, and [i]still[/i] get an FPS of like 10! 732 Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M is my card.

that's because mat_showlowresimage 1 doesn't actually improve performance
try mat_filterlightmaps 0
mat_filtertextures 0

[Aurora93]

Hell, maybe Fake Factory should make a high-definition mod for TF2. We can see how much of a slut the Pyro really is :smug:

[Ferdam]

I guess you can't use custom models/textures on sv_pure 1 servers..

[yellowoboe]

If you have this config you can't use custom models/textures but the config skins work on pure servers.

That's mine also, it's a very good one!

got the same problem as you
ati radeon 9250 it works good in 5 vs 5 fights it lags when there is like 40 builds in one place and 32 players fights

don't
get a 4670 or a 4830 at least
otherwise you're poor :wotwot:

This is what happened with my cfg. It runs smoothly but this happens. Anyone know how to fix it?

TF2 is not a very hardware taxing game.
