    Default TF2 Bad FPS Problem

    I decided to purchase Team Fortress 2 instead of CS:S. I had checked out System Requirements Lab and I surpassed almost everything on recommended except my video card. My video card had surpassed the minimum requirements. For some strange reason, despite the fact that I'm running on the smallest resolution and lowest graphic settings, I'm getting 15 Frames Per Second.

    Even though my Video Card wasn't on recommended requirements, it had been above minimum. Because of this, I figure something I'm using isn't compatible with TF2.

    Computer Specs:

    CPU: 2 processors running - AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58
    CPU Speed: 1.91 GHz Performance Rated at 3.86 GHz
    RAM: 960MB
    Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional with service pack 2
    Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 6150 go
    Sound Card: Conexant HD Audio output


    If anyone knows why I'm unable to run the game properly, or has any idea as-to something I may have to download, please leave a comment below. Your help is very much appreciated.
