Team Fortress 2

Make sure you have vsync off and AA and AF set to low values.

I find it kind of funny that everyone with a Nvidia card said that the game plays great. But everyone with an ATI card says it is choppy, including myself. That is because ATI's 7 drivers are not totally unbugged yet. Or at least this is the conclusion I have com up with, I have use both my ATI x1650 pro which works fine with vista and TF2 and my friends Nvidia card...not sure of the model. But they are similar cards. With the ATI it was sort of choppy. With the Nvidia card it was clear and better than XP or Vista. So the only thing I could think of is the ATI drivers aren't working the greatest yet.

Im running an ATi card and I play alot of TF2, I have no problems at all. All settings maxed out, rarely go below 50fps. Look at My System Specs if you want hardware details.

Just got done running a benchmark and my score was really low. I've never really understood any of the numbers and such and was wondering if someone could maybe point out something that may be wrong that im doing.

Edit: Forgot the important figures:
FPS:9.1
Scores:229

I flashed my bios with the latest, I've updated my video drivers with the latest. and I've tried to disable that Physx thing and it still runs pretty bad. I also have frozen about 5 times while trying to test stuff out in TF2 (3 times on default settings)

Try lowering your Anisotropy to x2 or even 0 for that matter.
Can you post up all your Graphic settings for TF2?

I also seem to be having issues with Team Fortress 2 under Windows 7. I can run the game just fine, until I connect to a server. After is sends all the information and whatnot, when it shows the the server's home page or whatever, the game will soon freeze up, and I'll have to shut it down using task manager. I've tried a lot of things people have said, and they all either confuse me or don't work. Here's some of my specs:

Windows 7 (32-bit Home Premium)
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (PCI)
Intel Pentium 4 2.66 GHz

If there's any other specs you guys need to help me, I'll be happy to give them to you.

What graphic setting are you running in TF2??

" I can run the game just fine, until I connect to a server." This would indicate you can run the game just fine...

Your system seems to be kind of low spec for the game, its quite CPU and GPU intensive, a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 would struggle I would imagine..

I'm not sure. I'll check later.

I've played the game on an even worse CPU just fine, so I don't think that's the issue.
