Team Fortress 2 "Meet the Sniper"
In his former life as a tracker of dangerous game in the unforgiving Australian outback, the Sniper would spend months by himself. Prolonged isolation taught him a valuable lesson: You don't have to rely on other people if you never miss.

Since you posted this in the Dell section, I'm assuming you're asking about Dells.
Anything with a NVS135M, NVS140M, 8400M GS, 8600M GT, 8700MGT, FX1500, FX1600, 8800M GTX, FX 2500M, FX3600M will be able to run it. The first 3 might have some problem at high details. Not an issue for the rest.
Might have missed out a GPU or two. -
Thank you
FX 2500M can fast run it? -
I suggest you buy GeForce GPU's for games, and Quadro's for CAD because GeForce is optimized for games.

M1530/M1330 :d
it works great on my M1530.
"Be polite, Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet" -
My 8400m GT can run it maxed at 1440x900 res but i usually turn it down to 1280x800 for the boost in frames with little visual loss. The 8400m gs will run it fine at medium-high. Aim for that or above.
-
I'd say definitely go with an M1530. That's what I've got on order, and I plan on playing TF2 on it
Love that game btw, really fun.

Don't get any CPU with less then at least a T7500 for TF2. I had issues with a T7250 playing TF2 on my notebook below. Great frames, expect for getting into firefights (known to be a problem on the steam forums). Did not matter what visual settings/resolution etc.... Upgraded to a T8300 and HUGE increase. I have been to busy to really test it. But so far in game on 32 man servers, I have yet to drop below 40fps (with everything nearly maxed). On one of my timedemo's. On a average of 4 runs each:
T7250 avg 38fps
T8300 avg 54fps
Now a little rant. And I am sorry for itEveryone on here rocks! But please remember that when getting asked a question like this. When someone is about to lay down a very nice chunk of change on something, based on what YOU are telling them. Please, make sure the answer you are giving is the correct one. Lots of slack here tho, because TF2 is a source game. And it normally does not take high end hardware to run source games. But something Vavle did to TF2 after the November 21st update made it a huge CPU hog. There are many many users with very good GPU's (8800GT/X's), with lower end core2duo's getting 20-30fps in firefights.

My T7250 and 8400m GT run it fine, with no lag at all with 32 players and huge firefights, all maxed at 1280(except AA). It is very CPU intensive as you said but your issues were your own.
-
Maybe your definition of fine, and mine are different? The issues are not my own, due to the HUGE and multiple threads over at the TF2 steam forums. I do not consider getting down into the 20's fine. And it was not a configuration issue. As all of my other games play great. Along with all the other tests I did. What I could/should do (if you want of course, if not no biggie) is send you the link of a timedemo and have you run it and post back the results. Up to you. But would be kind of cool, because most of the users on the steam forums are desktop users.
And no one is really 100% sure on what Valve did to change how TF2 utilizes the CPU. What we do know, is that it's dual-core utilization (or lack there of) is horrible. And the command to utilize dual-core (mat_queue_mode 2) is very buggy, but does give a huge fps increase. -
Ok i'll run it
Link? It's not a huge download is it? I have a slow(ish) wireless connection, and yes i am one of those people with the 100+ pings
Does the command get you kicked?
Which notebook can play Team Fortress 2
