This article will list various ways to increase your performance (not that it'll be needed), but give them a shot if your FPS is below 40 usually

Old, Working Methods

Disable visual effects

Untested

developer only variables

  • vacubemin
  • vacubesize
  • oqfrags

The above variables should only be used fi you know what you're doing, they have huge potential to cause damage. I myself have received huge boosts in performance from doing this. When the PVS system is disabled, the vacube values default to 64, usually this isn't the case, so in your autoexec.cfg file, added the lines 'vacubemin 8192' and 'vacubesize 8192' into it. while I'm uncertain what oqfrags does, I believe it splits the occlusion query into bigger fragments, as it's done pixel by pixel. so at 20 it'll be bigger and faster.

to use this method, you pretty much just need to maximise the three bulleted vars above.
