My computer meets the minimum requriments to run TF2 but when I play its really slow, but if I just stare at a wall or walk just looking down at the floor the game runs excellent. Theres only problems when looking directly forward. Can this be fixed or can I just not play TF2?

Hmm..well, what are your specs? If your computer just barely meets the requirements then you may have to run in dxlevel8

Tell me, how many players are allowed on the servers you play on?
I recommend not playing on anything that allows more than 24.

Actually I create servers just with myself in it. Just to test out the speed.

download the high version, if it's still really slow download the high high.

this will make your game look like shti though (especially high high)

I'm not sure. Do you think that by upgrading my graphics card will take care of the problem?

And at this point I dont even care about graphics. As long as I can run the game and play it at a resonable speed I would be happy.

EDIT
---------
Thanks for that link M_24! The graphics reminds me of some old 96 games like Duke Nukem 3d and Doom but hey at least I play now so I cant complain.
