1. Open Steam
2. Ctrl, Alt, Delete on your keyboard
3. go to Task Manager
4. go to Processes
5. Look for Memory tab
6. Look to right and find your total RAM of Memory. (For me it was 8 GB, and it most likely may be different from yours)
7. Calculate half of your KB memory by using this equation: GBx1000x1000 than take that number you just calculated and divide by 2. (For me, it's 8x1000x1000= 8,000,000 than divided by 2 to get 4,000,000)(I have 5,000,000 for my heapsize because my computer can handle more than 4,000,000 KB of memory usage. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANY OF YOU!)
8. Go to your Steam Library and go to TF2
9. Right click on TF2 and click on properties
10. Click on Set Launch Options... and paste in this code: -dxlevel 80 -refresh 120 -heapsize 5000000 -high -novid -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms-nopix -nocrashdialog -fullscreen -dxlevel 80 +mat_antialias 0 +r_rootland 2 +mat_picmip 2 +mat_reducefillrate 1 +r_waterforceexpensive 0 +r_waterforcereflectentities 0 (change 5000000 to whatever your KB half number from the equation is)
10. Click on Ok and close the properties
11. Open TF2 and go to Options
12. Go to Video and click on Advanced...
13. Go to Shadow Detail and set it to Low
14. Press OK, than Apply, than OK
15. Press Ctrl, Alt, Delete and close out EVERYTHING except for Team Fortress 2.
