I have a solid pc with 16gb of ram a 3060ti and a i7-11700kf and I cannot keep my fps consistently at 240 with the low fps config selected
#Low config selected and I can't maintain 240fps with a good pc

is there a way that I can specifically see my average
vital vectorBOT

or do you want like an estimate
like sometimes within the span of a few seconds it will go from like 350 to 200
actually nevermind its even worse than that
I set the cap to 999 fps and sometimes I will have 700 fps and sometimes it will be below 240

Yeah that's probably normal
TF2 isn't the most optimized game, and on top of that it's CPU bound, which means FPS is never stable.

@turbid cedar sometimes it drops to like 120. That cant possibly be normal. I get worse performance on this game than I do on most modern games.

Set windows affinity settings to skip core 0 for tf2, make sure xmp is enabled for your ram (or overclock it above that), raise cpu multiplier to the highest that works for your system, get rid of overlays and unnecessary background stuff, switch to high textures if you're using low config with dx9, if you're using dx8 low textures are fine

This is not a modern game
It is a bad game

Still shouldn't get 120 on mastercomfig low
on a 11700k
apart from a 100 player server or something
turbid cedar
They said it drops to that, not that it's the average
What's the benchmark atm?
Did coms make a new one? I can't remember

🤮

does this still work even for modern pcs?

You'll have to test on your hardware and see
Up to intel 10th gen and AMD Zen 2 I've seen it help
newer than that I have no experience
But likely it still will, a lot of interrupt handlers and some windows processes and things seem to still run overwhelmingly on the first core more so than others, and they can take time away from tf2
