// FPS cap
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The primary benefit of an FPS cap is to make the FPS more stable, other than
// that, it doesn't do a lot. A moderate, consistent framerate is much more
// desirable than a variable but sometimes high framerate. A common
// misconception is that if any more frames are generated than your monitor can
// display, they are useless. This is wrong -- frames are used for much more
// than mere display, and affect the way the game feels well past your
// refresh rate.
//
// This FPS cap should *always* be set to a value higher than `cl_cmdrate' in
// any case, or the discrepancy between clientside frame generation and frames
// to be sent to the server will no doubt cause you many a headache, especially
// when it comes down to hit registration. Other than that, I recommend
// for everyone to use the value `132' (2*66), as long as you can generally
// keep that value stable without regular drops.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
cl_showfps 0 // Don't show FPS meter
fps_max 132 // Commented due to 2011-09-02 update causing jittering when fps is capped for some
fps_max 0

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Net settings
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Whilst net settings perhaps aren't an integral part of an FPS config, they
// are a fact of life in competitive TF2, and as such, they are included here.
//
// A common question I am asked -- what defines whether a good connection is
// good or bad? Mostly personal preference. If you're not willing to make the
// choice, try both and see which is better for you.
//
// Generally, meeting both of the following conditions would classify it as a
// good connection:
//
// - Ping of <80 to the average server you join
// - Generally no/negligible choke/loss (can be checked with `net_graph')
//
// There's some pretty good documentation on this here:
// http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_Multiplayer_Networking
//
// Uncomment (remove the `//' from) one of the groups if you want to use them.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Good connection
cl_updaterate 100
cl_cmdrate 100
rate 60000 // tweak using net_graph to the point at which you get <10 choke. Higher rate value than needed just raises your ping.
cl_interp_ratio 1 // how often per tick interpolation is updated. We want that to be every tick, which would be "1"
