Noticeable between 21 (or 17.9) vs 15.2ms? I kinda doubt that. Keep in mind that the delay isn't server side either, it's an artificial client delay that spawns your rocket further down the barrel to have better visual sync, since projectile spawns and destroys are not interpolated.

And just take a look at your net_graph 3. See whenever your lerp turns yellow. That means you are dropping packets.

v6.11.6 released with performance improvements and bug fixes.

I don't want to set that, since it would also set for people already on DX9.

Comments are removed from the VPK version to save space. You can view the config files with comments on GitHub, and download them for offline access.

You can change it using snapshots_lan in user/game_overrides.cfg.

However, I seriously advise against using it: https://www.teamfortress.tv/51693/current-year-net-settings#4.

v6.11.5 released with performance improvements and bug fixes.

Use aa=medium in your modules.cfg.

Also, to respond to your edit, that wiki edit is straight from the mastercomfig wiki.

I have no reason to believe this launch option hasn't been in the game for a long while

Depends on what graphics quality you want. The addons are the ones that are strictly about hardware. But I doubt you really need/want very low or low with that powerful setup.

It still uses DirectX, it just sets DirectX to use the same reduced feature level as OpenGL.

Could you show me your class config set up?

And 181FPS is the default FPS limit in mastercomfig

What launch options do you have?
What commands did you try?

You need to be specific, because some part of your set up might be harming performance.

If you are desperate for performance, you can reduce network processing by using the packet_rate=congestion module for mastercomfig.

Should work if you have everything in the user folder without any renaming.

v6.11.4 released with networking improvements, performance enhancements and general quality of life improvements.

Do you have multiple monitors? If so, there seems to be a bug in Windows 10 (might only be with AMD drivers, idk), that makes the mouse freeze if you have multiple monitors in certain situations. It happens more often if one of your monitors is off, but plugged in, or if it is a TV.

Try playing around with setting m_limitedcapture_workaround to 0 or 1.

belle delphine got that UPS plug for flat rate shipping

v6.11.3 released with usability improvements and performance enhancements.

Dropping DX8 support would allow for DX9 to have better performance.

Why can't TF2 also have higher requirements? Is it because we want to hold it back? "New" game based on its initial release date doesn't mean anything with so many updates that you can ship to games nowadays.
