Odd TF2 FPS Trick Found in TF2 Files

THIS ONLY WORKS ON WINDOWS COMPUTERS!

Hello, usually with FPS most people buy a better computer or FPS Configs, today it is kind of FPS configs, but theres a new catch.
This is an odd trick I came up with by looking through some game files of TF2, it will reset your graphics to default, but certain threadings and filtering modes to what should be set for your system,
when TF2 tries to modify the graphics for your hardware, it actually isn't 100% for your hardware, some settings are just default and are always like that, but at least this trick for me works, I take no credit in making this, but I do take credit for finding this, it is different for all systems.
What you have to do is go in your Team Fortress 2 files, navigate to bin, and open a file called dxsupport.cfg with Notepad or Notepad++.
At the first line of code you will see "name" "50" and "Unsupported" "1",
on the "name" "50" that is the display of what DirectX that is it will also say DxLevel if you go lower too so I know wtf I am talking about,
Keep on going down to until you get the DirectX version you want, and then when it starts saying codes with "ConVar. at the beginning,
copy and paste the codes in an autoexec.cfg file, remove all the " marks in the codes (No need on the values) and remove the ConVar parts and then save it, and you are done! Just make sure to put it in the cfg folder in tf.

NOTE THAT THIS WILL NOT WORK ON ALL COMPUTERS!

Hey, I am not going to be checking this out, I am not gonna update cause now I am gonna be on my own, and yeah so.
I am just gonna play TF2 or something idk... however, this page will stay available if you want it, remember that this doesn't work on all PCs, it might boost frames on yours, it might not, it may even decrease it. But whatever. Later.

Mutethere is code in there for dxlevel 50 and 70, if you used those would you go to that dxlevel?

It will redirect to 8.0 because 7 and below is not longer supported.

Are you supposed to remove "Convar." from the commands as well? When I launch my game it says "unknown command Convar.[insert command here]" for all the commands...

Try taking a screen of the config itself and upload it to imgur or something and send me the link and let me view it and see if I can help you with it if it keeps crashing.

Those commands aren't supposed to be used, you might want to reread the thread again more slowly to understand it. :)

Then can you detail exactly which lines are supposed to go in the autoexec?

Edit: for anyone that's confused as to what the fuck he's talking about, he's saying just take the ConVar sections and paste them into autoexec, and then delete the portions of the lines that say "ConVar."
