Config FPS Tweaks

[Stektr33]

Can people post cvars that will help with increase my fps. i pretty much range around 10-15 fps (if i'm lucky).. and an explanation of the cvars would be much appreciated. I was perfectly happy with my steady 30fps (wo0t!?) before the 1.2 patch but now it's unplayable. I have everything turned down at this point (via UI, to the point where everything looks like crap) but still low fps.
Anyways, I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything that I could use.
Thanks.

Specs:
3.2 Ghz P4 / 2 Gb memory / Radeon x800 pro (cat 7.10 drivers)
Vista U. 32bit (fully patched)

could also be down to lag/bad connection..check that out first..

might be worth rolling back drivers too, if youve noticed a drop in performance since updating them?

PS..dont buy ATI cards..their drivers sux0rz...lol

As for ATI cards, it varies. I made a small upgrade from NV 7300gs to an ATI 1950gt and while I had to tweak the heck out of it with ATItool, it now works flawlessly. Catalyst AI has to be off for it to work, that's about it.
