Lune are you saying you tried this and it gave you 30fps boost ??
It didnt do anything for me at all.
Im running 1080p, Ultra setting selected ingame, FOV 75.

Also the Perfoverlay you mentioned thats in the config.... Isn't that to do with the the onscreen GPU & CPU graph ? it probably just disables it from running/collecting the data for the graph. It doesnt limit FPS in anyway.

As for some of the other commands in this config.... and the claim theres no impact on visuals.

PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0 = Disables all HBAO and SSAO in game
RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0 = Disables DX11, so probably disables all tessalation etc
WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0 = Disables motion blur
WorldRender.FxaaEnable 0 = Disables post process AA
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 256 = Makes shadows around lights look crap.

All these have a big visual impact on the game.

Theres some other useless commands in there aswell...
Vsync command to off... Why not just set it to 'off' ingame.

The only one I have used is one to disable triplebuffers, I have set my render ahead limit to 2 in NV control panel, made the game feel smoother for me as before these it felt a bit jerky in those 45 fps areas. Now they feel better.

Yes, it disables Dx11, but i guess some people are desperate for performance, Me i actually have no issue with performance. I run it at Ultra but with both the AA options disabled since i couldn't tell the difference. ANd motion blur disabled, just eats performance without much visual gain, and i have AF at 4x. I rarely drop below 40 fps.

So you're saying that disabling DX11 and running in DX10, with all HBAO/SSAO disabled, motion blur disabled, and the shadows resolution turned down to piss all increased your performance?

I'm not surprised but it looks like ass.

This could have been accomplished in the in-game graphical settings, you're just turning things down and getting more FPS for it....

Not really... they are console commands (at least the one I mentioned up there)

Which can be also achieved by lowering the graphic options in the menu.

Kevin, you know I wouldn't post something If I wasn't sure about it .. now go check your stuff then doh me around

You CANNOT for example show FPS from in-game menu? Yeah? There you go, back to console.

Good luck enabling this ingame

WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 256 (no, that's not SHADOW QUALITY INGAME)

RenderDevice.TrippleBufferingEnable 0 (good luck with that too, u only have vsync)

RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1 (good luck)

Render.DrawFps 1 (yeah this one is definitely in the ingame menu... yeah no)

RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0 (that's TOTALLY ingame)

Render.PerfOverlayEnable 0 (yeah....)

WorldRender.DxDeferredCsPathEnable 0 (yeah its under graphics) lolololololo yeah no

Hot off the press....

Lowering graphics quality and settings increases performance
