what does "setting.mat_queue_mode" do? Help fps how?

[partyboy]

Will changing this setting even help my fps? If so how, and what should I change it to? someone said 2 but I saw others say -2,-1,0,1...

Taken from reddit:
"mat_queue_mode [-1,0,1,2] - This setting determines the threading mode the material system uses. A value of -1 uses the default for your system, a value of 0 uses synchronous single thread, 1 uses queued single threaded mode, and value of 2 uses multi-threaded mode. Many users report performance increases on multi-core systems when setting this variable to a value of 2."

Thank you ! I don't understand the "material" you are talking about but okay! lol

So im taking it that setting launch options "-threads 2" would be doing the same thing?

instead of going through all the files

On all source-engine games this is a standard console option.

Generally it should be set in the "autoexec.cfg" file or a file called by it.

It sets the Materials System Queue mode, which determines how queued textures and shaders are rendered. There are various settings to turn on and off the use of the materials queue for various things.

The default ("-1") usually detects properly and turns on multi-threaded on multi-core systems, but this isn't always the case. If it is not detecting properly, or you think it isn't, then you can turn it to "2".

In some games "-2" is available, which uses an alternate default detection algorithm. In other games it will be the same as "-1" or "0" depending on the game. I'm not sure how Counter Strike: Global Offensive handles this.

Please note that this variable can expose bugs in games, which generally consist of texture, shader or shadow glitches. If you notice such things you can either turn it back to "-1" or you can try turning off use of the threaded material queue system on specific functions with other variables. (e.g. r_queued_ropes, r_queued_decals, r_queued_postprocessing).

I'm not sure if it's the same as the -threads command line option, that may control something different, or a parent function that this uses.

The new de_train was really choppy for me so i just tried this by setting mat_queue_mode to "2" and it's smooth again!

put it to -1 Or delete the file and open csgo, the video settings will be reset.

mat_queue_mode 2 - Made a great difference for me, great fps increase (almost double), AMD FX-8320.

When you say mat_queue_mode 2- you mean mat_queue_mode 2 rigth ? I'm asking this to make sure that having this " - " is the same thing of not having ?

Where do I type mat_queue_mode 2?

[Viriato]

In the console\cfg\video settings
