Hey guys, I'm getting a new GPU for my PC.

Could TF2 run well at medium settings on this setup?

AMD Athlon 2.0 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
2 GB of RAM

Yo, Persi, my fellow TIFer. :p

OT: I heard TF2 was pretty CPU-intensive, though. I'm a bit worried about my CPU.

Oh.

Well, looks like it should run decently. I just heard from a lot of TF2 players that the Source engine relies heavily on the CPU, and my CPU is not that great.

I can run the game on max with:
i7 950
GTX 295
6gb ram

But that doesn't really help you does it? Let's just say you should be fine.

Check here: It scans your computer after you select a game & tells you if your rig passes or fails. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

I've learned to not trust that site either, it said that I couldn't run Spore at all, and I could.

Ultimately, your PC is perfectly capable of running tf2, but if your connection isn't up to snuff, it'll be like playing a powerpoint.

OP, as many others have attested, you'll be fine. The minimum specs for the Orange Box (according to the box cover, no pun intended) are: 1.7GHz Processor and 512MB RAM. You more than exceed both, so you should have no problems. I have the same graphics card as you, and I can run TF2 on pretty high settings no probs, but then I have a Core 2 Duo @ 2.4GHz and double your RAM. I think most of the physics processing in the Source Engine is offloaded to the GPU anyway.

I also heard TF2 updates cause the game to slow down a little each update. Is that true?
