Again, my fps is basically the same, not using no hats though, I used it before and it didn't make a difference:

Worse, maybe because I'm standing on last and a lot of things are going on. Still not right:

I used dx8 for both of these as it's recommended.

Is there something maybe limiting my fps? I know for sure it's not fps_max since I can see it's set to 0, and vertical sync is not enabled, any other possible sources?

Alright, taking the screenshot from exactly the same map in a Valve server using chris' high frames @dx8:

there is no fps difference.

Another thing I'll add is that my fps_max is set to 0, so there shouldn't be a limit of some sort.

I did the equivalent dx level for configs, right now for Comanglia's toaster I'm using dx 81

I will get around to doing that when I have a little bit more time, I did hear not all configs fit all pcs.

Can you read

Ever since the Tough Break update my TF2 performance has decreased to stupidly low levels.
I've posted briefly on threads before: http://www.teamfortress.tv/30628/how-to-get-all-your-frames-back-after-tough-break#9
I'll like to first list everything I've done to attempt to improve my frames, make sure you read this thoroughly before making suggestions:

• Opt'd out of beta (was never in a beta)
  
• Opt'd in and out of the beta
  
• Verified cache
  
• Reinstalled tf2
  
• Followed Flame's method (http://www.teamfortress.tv/30651/boost-fps-with-this-one-simple-trick)

I may have missed some of the attempts I made to improve fps, but that's all I remember.
All of these attempts made no difference, some making it worse.

Comparing my framerates

BEFORE:

My framerate in a pub would be just around the 200 fps mark, as shown in this screenshot. This is a 12v12 valve server, unsure if it was actually full but a lot goes on in a pub so it's a good benchmark for me, personally.
In 6s my framerate would be higher, if not, similar framerate to pub servers.
These screenshots were recently taken (within 4 months, after Gun Mettle) using Chris' DX9 frames, I never had any frame issues.

AFTER:
Now I'm using Comanglia's Max FPS for Mid Quality PCs with the toaster config changes(except viewport scale since it makes my eyes hurt), I now get the following in a Valve pub server:

The frames are incredibly choppy for me, and are barely at the 90 mark.
I wouldn't have been complaining as much if I was going to keep my 60hz monitor, I was planning on buying a 144hz monitor for myself for Christmas, but now I'm having second thoughts.

Really stumped, would appreciate help a lot.

EDIT: Images are now Spoilers

AGREED

Last time my WHOLE pc went to shit was when my cpu fan wasn't connected properly and i was getting 98c core temps.

I should have mentioned that my core temps are stable right now and I don't think it's anything to do with hardware. I also tried reinstalling graphics drivers and such.
At the moment I'm reinstalling the entirety of tf2, i've backed up my class configs + autoexec + custom files. I'll launch tf2 on stock and see how it goes, then add my custom files and we'll just see from there.

EDIT Very small difference if not no difference. But I guess I'll just have to deal with it, I'm stumped.

You reinstalled the entirety of steam? Alright, that is a last resort.

Will give this a shot and edit my comment to see if it makes a difference.

EDIT No difference in FPS, might have to reinstall steam to see if it makes a difference.

Why not see for yourself through the screenshots?

After changing fps configs (from Comanglia's Mid to Chris' maxframes), downgrading my resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 1280 x 720, updating my graphics drivers, opting in and out of the beta (again), verifying cache and lastly changing from windowed mode to Fullscreen mode, my fps has made a very very small difference.

Anyone got any new solutions that I have not tried yet? It would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Just tried Flame's method, that didn't make a difference at all either.

Opted in + out again, no difference at all.
I'm going to restart my pc to see if that'll make a difference.

This isn't a fix for all people, like me.
I was never in a Steam beta update, it was already set to "opt out of all beta programs" for me.
My fps has plummeted from 200+ to 40-60 fps.
Tried different graphics configs, settings things in tf2 to default, nothing has made a difference.
I'm using Comanglia cfg for now, being the Mid Quality PC version.

Fancy Clothes, earbuds for use while I'm out, other basic stuff.

Cheers, good job on the hud by the way!

Is there a fix for the demoman shield bar that won't come up on the hud? Or is there something up with my version not showing it?
