[PSA] Want a better framerate in TF2?

[Amo]

From feilen on linux_gaming

“I’ve heard of some people testing out the ‘Highframes’ and ‘Maxframes’ configs, and having graphical glitches. The main reason for this is most likely that those two configs are made to work with DirectX8, which is somewhat vintage at this point. DX9frames, however, is a best-case scenario for configuration the way Valve had intended it. (More or less.)

I’ve made a script available here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=HdHzYn93

To use, download and save as “dx9frames.sh”, and run:
chmod +x dx9frames.sh
./dx9frames.sh yourusername

If you want a different config or editor, you can also:
env EDITOR=vi ./dx9frames.sh yourusername
or:

./dx9frames.sh yourusername maxquality

#Would recommend using one designed for dx9.

Afterwards, just copy the options it prints out, change them for your resolution, and follow the instructions.
Enjoy!

Using Dx9frames with everything but gibs enabled, I get anywhere from 70-450 FPS, whereas before I was getting up to 120 with occasional drops to ~15-30.”

Tested and confirmed working
