For use drx11(I would recommend): -dx11 -m_rawinput 1 +exec autoexec.cfg -high -preload -fullscreen +@panorama_min_comp_layer_cache_cost_TURNED_OFF 256
For use vulkan(Maybe better for AMD, you can just test it): -vulkan -m_rawinput 1 +exec autoexec.cfg -high -preload -fullscreen +@panorama_min_comp_layer_cache_cost_TURNED_OFF 256
