Computer can't handle it

[Mad Hatter]

I play on a four year old laptop. All the games run ok on the absolute lowest settings, getting a bit choppy when a lot is going on. This new TF2 updat however, makes it completely un-playable. Seriously I get like 10 FPS the whole time. Has anyone else had this happen, like is it something with just TF2? Also where could I win a fancy new Velocity PC? (I'm a college student I have no money)

Velocities are more than i thought... Maybe a Cyber Power? I'd like to support the sponsers if I happen to run into an extra $1000. Any suggestions?

I think they updated tf2 to run on some things from l4d. I get a bit a lag too, because apparently they have upped the quality on particles

Mine has surprisingly gotten a bit better. I normally have bad quality, but not as bad as before.

Newegg + Build your own. Works well.

Best Buy Store Credit Card.... Get like a 2 grand limit. Buy what you can on newegg, then the rest of it, put on the store credit card and pay it off over time. works quite well if you ask me.
