Which dxlevel should I use?

[Bones]

I am playing on a laptop. Here are the specs:
AMD a6 9220
Radeon r4
8gb ram
128 gb ssd

How well does the game run normally?

Dxlevel 90 is for better pcs with more textures and lighting and how crits look
Dxlevel80 and below low grade everything and if the dxlevel is low enough the water turns pure white

Well the lowest it's gone is 28 fps. But most of the time it's 40 fps. Not too shabby.

From JarateKing's comment:

dxlevel 80 = best option for fps, but not stable
dxlevel 81 = almost just as good for fps but a lot more stable
dxlevel 90 = less fps but higher quality graphics
dxlevel 95 = could help fps compared to 91, could hurt, depends on your gpu (the default also)
dxlevel 98 = highest quality but only a bit better than 90/95 with a lot less fps

Choose what you want.

Unstable FPS. Crash might be message said "Out of access Memory. Texture quality may be set too high".

What about dxlevel 85? it's like a mix of 81 and 90.

Source engine doesn't support DirectX 10 or higher.
