This is a really late reply BUT, since I also had this issue I also looked up threads like this (that didn't help much not gon lie) so hopefully this might help the next person who has this issue. Anyways.

What fixed it for me was going into NVIDIA GeForce Experience => Home => Team Fortress 2 => Details. Then pressing the REVERT button.

What that did was Revert all of the stupid graphic "optimizations" that GeForce Experience did that also locked the graphics options for some big brain reason that prohibited you from changing any of the settings.

This really helped me, thank you

Do i need to put them in propreties?

[Uncle Urethra]

Do i need to put them in propreties?

Either in autoexec.cfg or in config.cfg.i think, but surely not launch options.

[RAWmanGaming]

Ok so I noticed that my widescreen was set to native so I changed it to a slightly lower value and then tf2 let me modify the texture models. Don't ask me how that worked but yeah maybe try switching to a lower widescreen option instead of going with the native default option.
