Thought this might be useful to the few of you out there playing Portal 2 on suboptimal computers! Just copy the block of code and put it in a file called autoexec.cfg in the directory Steam/steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/cfg/.
It occasionally and unpredictably crashes when turrets are firing, so suggestions on how to fix that are appreciated.
