Ever since I got my new pc, my game runs better BUT I've experienced random jitters, it's hard to find a pattern in this, but it happens most of the time right when I kill someone, sniper headshots seem to always cause one (a quarter of a second or so of being stuck on the same picture), but there are other occurences. Does anybody have a clue as to what may cause that ?
I really need help :(

Verify game cache, remove "performance" config/try performance config depending on if you already have one, remove mods, report back

this happens with default config and with performance config. I verified the game cache, it got 36 files back, but in the end it changed nothing. Still jitters, even though it seems that now there's no pattern anymore, headshots work fine, but when I have jitters it seems completely random.

Sounds like a hardware issue, heating to be exact. Got enough cooling for it?

Also, have you enabled your processor to run at 100% via the power options yet? IE: Control Panel > System > Power Options > Change plan settings > Advanced Settings > Processor Power Management.

Use GPU-Z to monitor your GPU: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

And Open Hardware Monitor for CPU/RAM: http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ ( It has a GPU monitor too but I find GPU-Z to be much better)

Make sure nothing is over heating or freezing up! Good luck!

Oh, and another thing, are you dual booting by chance?

dual booting ? what is that ? As for the temperature the max it has reached on pubs is 68 (°C) for the cpu and 54 for the gpu so all good there. however, and I'm not sure, but it seems that "Attemped to precache unknown particle system "grenade_smoke_cycle"!" appeared in my console when I got a jitter. I also get "Model '(null)' doesn't have attachment 'backblast' to attach particle system 'rocketbackblast' to." a lot to but doesn't seem to cause any jitter. Anybody got any idea what I should do ? And yes I checked, my processor is enabled to run at 100%

A dual boot is where you have two OS's running on the same PC.

So like... you have Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 installed where when you restart you're able to choose which one you want.

But if you don't know what a dual boot is you aren't running one so no worries ^^;

As for the convar's and TF2-side stuff I can't really help there, sorry. Good luck!
