#6 the market and cashing out in TF2 General Discussion

hookyWhen the TF2 market crashes, people will stop caring about cosmetics and start caring about being good at the game.

Thus, TF2 will grow as an e-sport.

ok thanks a lot :) trying to cash out as fast as i can

#10 tf2 fps in Hardware

Jstn7477Pillowmaker[thanks a lot but i have a 2.20 GHz if that matters which i guess is low
Honestly, that was what I was expecting for a mid-high end gaming laptop. Most of the mobile quad core CPUs are still in the low-mid 2GHz range, which is honestly a lot better than 2010 when the first generation mobile i7 chips were 1.6-1.73GHz. I'd be happy with what you're getting out of the laptop now, as my 2010 notebook with an AMD Phenom II X920 quad core @ 2.2GHz and a mobile HD 5650 drops to 25-30 FPS during large fights, and stays around 50-60 in low load situations on the lowest settings. Your minimum frame rate is fairly comparable to a desktop Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4GHz) from around the time TF2 was released.

The only real thing I can suggest is making sure multicore rendering is enabled. I don't believe you can do much else to increase your minimum framerate as the GTX 560M (same chip as a desktop GTX 550 Ti with lower clocks) is more than sufficient for TF2's graphical demands.

thanks for the info it really helped me get a better understanding

#8 tf2 fps in Hardware

BerethPillowmakerBerethChris's configs (http://chrisdown.name/tf2/) have a decent range of options (both high quality and low quality). The fact is, most maps require more resources than mge/jump maps. You're going to have to compromise looks for fps at least a little bit.ive used chris high frames and dislike it a lot but if i use the high quality wont that significantly bring my game quality down?
EDIT: nvm i got it

#5 tf2 fps in Hardware

Jstn7477It sounds like your CPU might be a bottleneck, as TF2 is more CPU intensive than GPU. What CPU do you have, and is it overclocked? Even with my overclocked HD 7970, Core i7-3770K @ 4.3GHz and 4x4GB DDR3-2133 CL11 RAM, my FPS drops down to around 80-100 from 120FPS VSYNC on 24+ player servers that have lots of action going on, despite neither my GPU or CPU being remotely close to being maxed out.

I also experience similar FPS drops in TESV: Skyrim (game engine only supports 2 cores) and Minecraft (poor multithreading). TF2 must do some expensive calculations that cause an increase in frame latency, as Chris's configs literally do nothing for my system.

EDIT: From the sounds of it, you probably have a mobile i7 clocked in the low 2GHz range.

thanks a lot but i have a 2.20 GHz if that matters which i guess is low

#1 mumble in TF2 General Discussion

Hi, I am new to competitive TF2 and I want to know how to use mumble with my team mates. We do not plan on buying a server and would like to know if there are any other programs that can do this but from my understanding this is the best. Is there a way i can connect to a free chat room with my team mates and no one else can join? Thanks for your help :)
