// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------// 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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------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:

Here are the possible values:

-2 legacy default
-1 default
0 synchronous single thread
1 queued single thread
2 queued multithreaded
If you have problems with the value `2', try setting it to
`-1'.
As an aside, there are quite a few bugs in the demo system
that occur when mat_queue_mode is set to a value that is
not `-1'. If you intend to do work with the demo system,
maybe you should change this.
//

works perfectly
