    Hey,all need a quick hand, specs in sig.

    So in dods/css etc. I can get whatever amount of fps constant, its perfect. But on the TF2 engine, even with everything set to low I can only hover around 8-22, any ideas? I'm still on stock drivers and have no virus stuff running or anything of that nature. All help greatly appreciated.

    Check power settings is set to performance mode and not lingering in balanced/power saver modes.

    Also make sure the power supply is turned on!

    do you have the game patched up? cause i heard it had a dual-core problem, probably thats what is holding you back incase you havent patched the game.
