smesido you know if skins / warpaints affect fps at all?
because i benchmarked ur config with dx90 and dx81 a few days ago and appareantly and they both had the exact same results, but i feel like i get less fps in dx9
i used the old "benchmark1" demo which is quite old and doesnt show any war paints or skins in that demo cuz they didnt exist back then
DirectX 9 is much more efficient renderer that uses your graphics card more effectively. And about skins, they shouldn't affect FPS too much except for the initial generation.
I've made a very basic new benchmark that should be better at testing FPS on modern TF2 for now.
