Hello TF.TV

I usually have an FPS of around 170-220, but mostly it dips down towards the 110-140 zone, this mostly for a second at most, I'm not sure whether I need a fps config or it's fine

You should be fine, unless you want even more frames.

If the dipping really bothers you then you could cap it at 120

You can get a dx9 config and keep things pretty and removing unnecessary stuff like gibs or ragdolls. (Which can be distracting and lowers fps)

Also the best number to cap at is your screen refresh rate*2+1. Which is 121 in your case and if that's a stable number to you I would really recommend it. (Although it's truly preference)

Most likely going to get dx9 frames

Thanks everyone for the help

Something that people haven't mentioned is input lag. I have found that dx 9 significantly increases input lag, even if you get good frames. I definitely recommend to anyone to try a config or at least just to set dx8 for a week and see if you can come back.
Of course some people are more or less sensitive to it but I'd recommend at least trying it out

I actually don't notice a difference between the two in terms of mouse movement, but dx9 feels much more responsive in terms of shooting. I still play on dx8 for the extra fps, though.
(For reference, I can't stand playing on lightboost because of the input lag)

That's interesting. I would say that yes, shooting does feel more responsive and for the lack of better comparison I would say it almost feels a bit more quake. But to me I have found mouse movement to also be less sluggish. I cannot tell specifically that it's more input lag, but it definitely feels sluggish.
For reference, I too don't play with lightboost
