also, this happens ONLY with tf2

hey guys, I've been recently getting back into tf2. i am playing from Alienware M16
specs are some i9, 32GB ram, rtx4070, 240hz
but for some reason, the game stutters like crazy sometimes
especially when I take fights, but it also happens when im walking and (i.e.) the demo next to me sticky jumps

tried verifying game files, tried removing everything from my cfg but didnt work

I think it might be something involving the cooling or the CPU has aids
what im trying now is putting a book under the laptop so that it is lifted and the vents under can air out better
but idk what to do really

any suggestions? :(

I overclocked it using the BIOS but the like option won't allow me to go higher than 4.0
Do I need to alter the voltage as well to go higher?

I have had this PC since mid 2017.
i7 7700K 3.5GHz
16GB RAM
GTX 1050Ti

I am thinking of replacing the GPU with an RTX 3050Ti in a few weeks to run TF2 better.
Is it worth it, or is something else in the PC going to slow the game down. If I do buy it, I am also replacing the thermal paste on my CPU, to maybe perform some overclocking and play at 1080p. If the CPU sucks, what's a good alternative?

I have trouble looking at the game (stickies, team player color) when im using dx81, mastercomfig medium low. anyone know graphics settings or comfigs that allow for good visibility but can run midfights at 144+fps with 4GB of graphics memory (gtx 1050ti)?

i agree

hello, mix server is EU, everyone with mid/low/top open exp is welcome

pog

does anyone know how I can get felik's gfx files?
I found gfx.cfg on arekk's config but i cant find the rest and i really like his work its very sad he left

im looking for the files he quotes in his gfx

{
// exec hud // Meant for https://gitlab.com/felik/hud/ (not ready).
// exec lossy_network // Only use if your network suffers from frequent connection drops.
// exec queued_packets // Improves networking performance (on Windows only, opposite for Mac and Linux).
// exec maximum_graphics // Maximizes visual fidelity, this DOES NOT turn on ragdolls, shadows, and gibs.

exec nvidia // Use if you have a Nvidia GTX 750 or above.
exec teamchange // Removes the prompt to ask for a team change on valve servers.
exec matchmaking // It is recommended to include this, if it causes issues with casual/competitive, exclude it.
exec textures // Non-jagged textures, not used by default due to a potential black texture bug. (Never occured on my end).
}

im a scout main and this is true

yo I really liked the crosshair you have for your medigun, but do you know how I can make the green bar expand vertically from the bottom end of the cross toward its center? mb also how to make it colorable?

i normally have a small yellow circle but I have mild colorblindness and i sometimes lose track of it, so I changed it to a different version which has a bit of a shadow, but I struggle using that and now im at a cliffhanger, not sure what to do

personal preference is a thing but I wanna hear your opinions. I am experimenting with crosshairs and I can't decide what's best for me, what do u guys use?

make him play endif or spire mge until he gets used to airshots

its cool all I needed was to install a hotline miami killsound aside from my default one, and it worked as u said
thank you for the help!
