Skyride

DUCS

4GB RAM, new gfx

that CPU is absolutely no problem at all. OC it if you can be bothered but theres very little point buying a new one if all you do is play TF2.

cut off on a c2d is 100c if i remember correctly

depending on chip, some have 85, some 95, some 105, yet you should never run over 80C to make sure you dont get throttled from mobo

wowowow

slow down mate. We’re talking about a guy with a basic gaming PC who wants to make it quicker, not building some massive OC’d beast of a machine. :P

AnimaL

well he already is running at 70 so…

Sketch

MM

exactly. any oc is gonna take him to 80 under load. tbh using fps config generally will stop you dropping so many frames in busy situations. then cap it at 80

Maybe I’m missing something, but how can this not run TF2 properly?

At a high resolution it might struggle.

[…]thermal specification and on die temp are two different things

thermal specification is the temp the cpu was designed to operate having default intel cooler and no thermal greese

please stop talking bullshit, because this:

Haha so true. I’m currently running TF2 locked on 120 FPS after adjusting some settings, the graphics are still pretty good tho.

pykow

use m0res config and u can run it well on that machine.

my old py got Geforce 8600 GTS 256MB c2d E6600 2.4 ghz.
With m0res config. AVG FPS of 100. some drops to 80 and peaks to 150.

My new system is locked for 120 FPS ;) high settings

An i7 in terms of gaming has no pronounced benefit over an i5.

MAYBE bcs i5 = i7 without HT?

As for the on topic, since u overclocked your cpu, the best step would be getting a new gfx, 8800gts 320 is too short for tf2, u should try to get a 4870/gtx260 perhaps 2nd handed (should cost around 80€-100€) until you do a big upgrade
