This Guide assumes you are well accustomed to using a PC.

This guide is aimed at creating a balanced config for a modern PC, if you are on a potato you may convert the config I post (based off of but not the same as mastercomfig). This guide will greatly improve performance on modern hardware and avoid the crap and misinformation or lack of information within a lot of guides, I’ve noticed that source communities outside of TF2 seem to be, quite frankly, incompetent with cvars and how the source engine works. Improve your performance using modern variables with good looks, this guide aims to optimize inefficiencies while preserving as much eye candy as you can get.
