Ok so i play TF2 on high graphics because i like my game looking nice and i get 100 to 120 fps playing like this but i would like to improve my fps and maybe get 180 to 200 hundred but i would rather not make my game look like complete arse so are there any fps configs that i can use?
I appreciate this is probably a stupid question but i have never used an fps config and i know nothing about them because of this

Define complete arse

What do you want to look nice?

Personally, I made my own FPS config that I incorporated from different sources. (M0res and Chris)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/103196874/autoexec.cfg

Inside, if you open with notepad, you can choose which sort of things you want to enable or disable. For example, if you want to edit the options to have sprays or not to have sprays,

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Sprays
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Disable
cl_playerspraydisable 1
r_spray_lifetime 0

// Enable
//cl_playerspraydisable 0
//r_spray_lifetime 2

you have to put "//" behind the different commands to disable them. In this example, sprays are disabled.

You put this file in your cfg folder or inside your custom/"name_of_folder"/cfg if you have one.

NOTE: In my config, all the different settings that I have inside are set to off.

i mean like i don't want things to be pixelated and i don't really want things that are round to be triangular i guess these would be good examples, i know its kind of pathetic and doesn't really matter but i like the visual aspect of tf2 and would like to keep it looking as nice as possible while still making my fps better, possibly asking a lot i know but you never know till you ask

Well what you're talking about is LOD and Picmip I assume? LOD handles the level of detail on cosmetics and weapons. While picmip handles the level of texture detail ranging from -1 (max detail) to 4 (min detail)

From what i've found the LOD and Picmip do considerably help your frames but not as much as basic things like ragdolls and gibs. Even if you were to have LOD and picmip at a fairly high level and you used a fps config things would still look good and you should get a decent fps boost.

Setting high LOD is not going to help your fps at all.
Im using maxframes with mat_picmic 0 and dxlevel 90, game looks good and im still getting most fps i could get.
