Vid Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 256mb Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz Ram: (two) 1GB DDR2-SDRAM (PC2-4200 / 533mhz) internet: not sure if you need any more info but just say something if you do
yup maybe. i need to wait till the free is over to buy it anyways =\ but im TRYING to try it out but all i get is MEGA lag.
what video card? that's an integrated solution. no card about it, it's just a single chip. basically new card = world of improvement give a budget and I'll make recommendations around it.
i dont really want to buy a vid card if it isn't my problem so idk... and my dad doesn't want to buy one really :/ but ^does that help?
It's definitely the card then, I have 1GB and I thought it was my RAM problem, maybe set the visual settings lower?
due to the many strenuous shaders in tf2 you do need a pretty decent vidya card, hell I lagged when playing it on low settings with a 7600. Even though source is a finely tuned machine, you really do need a decent setup to play OB games without gfx lag. you can pick up a G92 8800GTS now for around £120, you should go for something around that for a halfdecent, half cheap card.
Run the game in "-dxlevel 8" using your "Launch options...", right click TF2 in your games list, click Properties, and Set Launch options. Enter "-dxlevel 8" without quotations and click "Ok", you can then close properties aswell. The game will run in DirectX 8, get the graphical settings how you want then close the game, I suggest, using your card, go for minimum settings on everything, after closing the game, go back to "Set Launch options" and remove the "-dxlevel 8". Ok that and see how it runs? If your card is already at DirectX 8 and you still get lag, buy a new one, if you dont want to pay much I suggest getting: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139051 For only £50 (roughly $100).
