Help, bad frames with a 9800 GT

I don't understand, why don't you simply play on Vista? You'll get DX10 support and all.


The 8800GT, even the green version, is about 10 times faster than a 7300 LE.

When I changed from a X1900XT to a HD3870, I had to reformat my PC because it kept thinking my HD3870 was a X1900XT.

These things happen quite often, unfortunately.. I'd say just reformat your PC and install Vista in it (given you already have a license).

AA in TF2 is set to none.

EDIT: The Manage 3D settings in the Nvidia control panel has the game at global settings AAx2. There's no 'none' option available.

The only thing I can think of at this point is your PSU then.

Brand spankin' new PSU...550 watts. More than capable of handling it. I'm beginning to suspect it's TF2. Because I've heard stories of people with super high end rigs getting worse performance than someone on mid-low range rigs on TF2. It's odd to say the least.

Have you tried uninstalling the game, do a disk defrag then reinstall the game? Searching around, many people are saying that it's a hdd problem.

Hard drive problem? That would make sense, because my XP backup files that are permanetly on my hard drive screwed up a few weeks ago after getting a virus. So now I can't run XP anymore unless I get a diff version of it or buy and install a new hard drive.

Also, I haven't done a disk defrag in years.

I'll set my PC up to defrag tonite when I go to bed (everytime I've defragged it's taken up to an hour and half + to finish.)
