----FPS Boost----
If you're game is not running at top performance and/or you have slow computer this is a guide for you.
1. Use Game Booster ( Disables your Services/Running programs you don't need while in-game)
2. Use FPS Config [By Chris - Recommended]
  Max Frames ( Extreme FPS Boost - Really Bad Quality )
  High Frames ( Good Use for old computers )
  DX9 Frames ( Optimized for Fps but still looks good )
[spoiler=How To Install FPS Config]
Quote
How to use: In Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg create an empty notepad file. Open it.
Copy everything from "Fps config" you have chosen and paste in that empty notepad file.
Then Click " Save As"
In the File Name type "autoexec.cfg" -> Save
