derp - Nuuppanaani - 04-27-2015

I just fired up TF2.

Framerate couldn't even stay above 60.

I was like wtf is worng with my machine, I remember running this game at stable 132 (the optimum for the source engine, and yes, the engine bases calculations on the framerate >_<).

Started troubleshooting my machine, set windows to maximum performance mode no eye candy.

Remembered I had just shrunk my windows boot partition from my ssd to a really small size and decided to remove the partition I had made for linux and extend the partition back.

Checked pagefile, hiberfile and all that ssd junk.

Checked CPU & GPU clockspeeds.

rebooted a couple of times.

Still couldn't get over 60 with chris' maxframes cfg running in DirectX 8 mode.

I was confuzzled; I had properly broken something.

Then it hit me: I had been messing around with PCI passthroughing my GPU in my Fedora install and my screen was still plugged into my motherboard, meaning I had run the game on my Intel HD graphics 2000 all this time. DERP.

It's a sidegrade. Either double the battery life or the the graphics performance. On a desktop only one of those make sense.

Well I could replace my i5 with an i7 to get the better integrated graphics... Lol
