Did you make sure to put the demo file into your tf folder?

Now that's really weird, because it didn't when I benchmarked it. Well it did but it was an irrelevant portion that ran on >2 cores. Might be the config. Either way this shouldn't happen.

Has anyone taken a look at Windows 10 "Game Mode?" It seems to make a notable impact only in the case of several background processes clogging your system, which could be interesting for streamers, or people who don't like to close other programs when running the game.

doesnt include tf2 in its benchmarks, but i'd say it shows how useless the game mode is
In general, there is no major frame improvement, and in one or two cases, it markedly decreases min frame rate.
I'd highly recommend disabling it.

im using ddr3 800mhz with a overclocked i5 2500k at 4.5 ghz would buying 2133 ddr3 (max the board supports) help me squeeze some extra fps?
would that be worth it ?

Some people benchmark HL2 ep2 with various DDR3 memory timings. Conclusion seems to be it can help with responsiveness and increases minimum framerate, but the average FPS increase seems negligible.

mousiopeanyone else care to share their ryzen experiences with this game ?
thinking of getting an r5 1600 to replace my i5 2500k at 4.5 i know it will be a boost pretty much everywhere else but i play this game a bunch ....
1600 will do less or similar fps in tf2 really (my max is ~197 fps @3.8GHz in benchmark1), cuz source loves high clocks due to its age. Ryzen also tends have "smoother feeling" in games, the frame times are much more stable and it won't jitter as much as Intel. I'd suggest to upgrade ^^

11% are not worth a 400$ upgrade imho.

Hey , I'm building a new pc , What cpu should i get that is cheaper than 300$ or 200$ and i get a good overclock of out it ?

What would be the cheapest gpu to run tf2 at the highest settings smoothly?
Maybe a gtx 770 or something in that area?

So...
I saw the article on Phoronix, showing improvements in the latest Mesa 17 (formerly: Mesa-git) driver for Radeon GPUs. Seeing the huge improvements, I decided to compare how TF2 runs on Linux, compared to Windows.
My first impression on Linux was... that the game runs noticably smoother. I needed some slightly more... quantified evidence for that - and here it is.
Just check this out. Hardware ofc stays the same - Intel Core i5-3350P @ 3.5 GHz, 8GB DDR3 1333MHz, Radeon RX 480 4GB.
Windows 10 Pro x64 (Creators Update, Crimson 17.7.2):
2639 frames 20.047 seconds 131.64 fps ( 7.60 ms/f) 8.975 fps variabilityKubuntu 17.04 (latest Mesa 17 driver from Padoka's PPA, Linux kernel 4.13rc3):
2639 frames 18.673 seconds 141.33 fps ( 7.08 ms/f) 8.006 fps variabilitySure, the benchmarks say only 10 fps of improvement, but the game does feel smoother on Linux. I highly encourage you to try out!
On both OS's I used the same FPS config (Rhapsody's) with the following settings:
rpc_showsbgraph
rpc_enablesprays
rpc_enableshadows
rpc_enablefeatures_low
rpc_disableragdolls
rpc_disablegibs
rpc_experimental_on_amd
mat_bumpmap 1

Extremely interesting, side note though you labeled the screenshot with that 141fps as "Windows"
Been thinking about going to Linux since I'm getting tired of Win10 updates fucking me over.

Looks correct on my side. The one with a smaller font in the menu is on Linux.
The game can still freeze randomly. Rare, but happens. I'll be playing TF2 for quite a bit on Linux, so if I notice anything interesting, I can report here.
