// FPS cap

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// The primary benefit of an FPS cap is to make the FPS more stable, other than

// that, it doesn't do a lot. 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

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// 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? Mostly personal preference. If you're not willing to make the

// choice, try both and see which is better for you.

//

// Generally, meeting both of the following conditions would classify it as a

// good connection:

//

// - Ping of <80 to the average server you join

// - Generally no/negligible choke/loss (can be checked with `net_graph')

//

// There's some pretty good documentation on this here:

// http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_Multiplayer_Networking

//

// Uncomment (remove the `//' from) one of the groups if you want to use them.
