Well I meant did you set it to "net_splitrate 3" or "net_splitrate to 3"? It should be "net_splitrate 3".
Depends on how many cores you have, how strong those cores are and how well your OS can manage the network threading using your CPU. I would only recommend it on a 4 core CPU at the very least, so the i7 seems to be fine for that.
Are you using a config? What are your net settings?
Whiskersure, here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lyi55ny9imzafvo/log.txt?dl=0
Seems like my config is not being applied. CVars only in my config and not in Comanglia's like lzma_persistent_buffer 1 are not being set.
i think my feet need to be freed from the confines of my shoes as soon as it is safe to do so inside the home.
WhiskerI had an autoexec with an exec line in it. For each test, it would either be `exec gfx_c.cfg` for comanglia's config or `exec gfx_m.cfg` for yours. `gfx_m.cfg` had the `exec maxframes.cfg` line at the bottom uncommented for the second test. I kept the `maxframes.cfg` filename the same.
I wouldn't write this off as not being an issue on my end, though; I may have accidentally ran maxframes for both tests, or something odd like that. That's the only thing on my end that I can think of, though
Could you share tf\console.log from doing con_logfile log.txt and then cvarlist? (when you have my config+maxframes)

They do though.
Whiskerah just saw your last message, but here are the new benchmarks:

Very strange how maxfps is not having effect on FPS.
How are you installing the config? And what does your exec usage look like?
you named yourself after literally the worst god

TF2 historically does not seem to like my PC :(
Are you referring to using -autoconfig between each config or using it once before beginning all of these benchmarks? If the former, I can re-do some. I'm not sure of the proper benchmarking procedures :D
I think it is fine to use -autoconfig while benchmarking because I believe that the autoexec runs after autoconfig.
WhiskerHere are my benchmarks using meb's ancient demo. The more recent benchmark demo causes my TF2 to crash and I'm not sure if there's any other currently used :(.
Regardless, hopefully this is still in some capacity helpful:

e: can you daisy chain `exec` commands? if not, I goofed and the `maxframes` cfg wasn't properly being read. It appears you can, but I tested again and updated the img anyways.
What are your specs and OS? Also, did you -autoconfig for when you used a new config? And yes, you should be able to daisy chain exec commands (as in, have exec commands in multiple files). At the bottom of my config, there is a commented exec for using maxframes.
stabbynet_compresspackets 0
net_splitrate to 3
net_queued_packet_thread 581304
I tried the above cvar values, and got no negative effects. net_queued_packet_thread had 0 impact FPS when benchmarked, but perhaps that's because it's offline? Not enough time with them yet to be sure, but I must say hit reg "feels" better (again, still totally in the placebo zone, but interesting)
The FPS impact of net_queued_packet_thread is entirely dependent on your CPU.
Did you test "net_splitrate to 3"? Just making sure...
bearodactylCan someone give me a TL;DR?
For those of us who don't want to read through the whole thread/setsul shitstorm, is there actually any reason to switch over to this from comanglias or is it just gonna give 2fps increase at the cost of not being able to make local servers without your tf2 catching aids and dying in a dumpster fire
A lot of people were also saying that it is smoother/less stuttering.
I don't think there was Setsul shitstorm, just a discussion with a bunch of misunderstandings.
There is a single command that makes you unable to move in local servers, which you can fix by setting host_thread_mode 0 when you are using a local server.
dod3fNope, remember reading somewhere in this thread that it would boosted the fpses only with very bad pcs, i'll do a test now
EDIT: Just did the test, the cfg with the maxframes preset its the one that performed the best (+2 fps than comanglia's stability)
You mean #193? I was saying true toaster configs would only boost FPS with very bad PCs, but my maxframes config was for boosting FPS on any PC.
Also, the launch options I suggested work best on dx9.
dod3fI forgot in the last benchmarks i posted here that i had shadows active in the comanglia's config
btw did a bunch of more accurate benchmarks
https://pastebin.com/Lhn730QD
If someone knows other ways to get a more "realistic" and accurate benchmark (live 6s, hl games) with minimal perfomance loss tell me so I'll do more tests
Did you use my maxframes.cfg addon?
cl_cmdrate 66
cl_updaterate 66
cl_interp_ratio 2
net_compresspackets 0
net_splitrate 3
rate 167580
net_maxcleartime 0.5
net_maxpacketdrop 100
net_splitpacket_maxrate 167581
Add to launch options: -reuse -usetcp
And you could also try net_queued_packet_thread 581304 if you have a really good CPU.
