Also, you can try using iobit Game Booster.

How was your success with game booster?

This...MIGHT...work...

1.) Start up Team Fortress 2.
2.) Go to your options.
3.) Set your game to windowed mode. (It's in options...you can find it :3)
4.) Close your game.
5.) In your steam games list, right click on Team Fortress 2.
6.) Click on properties.
7.) Click on SET LAUNCH OPTIONS...
8.) Type in this exactly without the quotations, "-noborder"
9.) Launch back up Team Fortress 2 and see if it works.

Now if anything happens, just alt+tab (It doesn't downsize the whole game window, it's something like Windowed Full screen in World of Warcraft/WoW), and then go to your task manager by hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL, then clicking on Task Manager, if you're on windows 7 right click on the bottom home bar, and then click on task manager.

Lastly click on Performance while you're in an eGO server (Get into the eGO server before doing all of this, but you should have known to do that anyways.), and then reply with your CPU Usage, and your Memory that's being used. (It'll have a number right below the word such as "CPU Usage", or "Memory".)

why not noborder first then play in window, instead of doing it backwards?

Back when I had a 9500gt 1GB I could only get 40-60fps out of it. This is probably just a gpu bottleneck. May I recommend?

His CPU would probably bottleneck that graphics card, or anything more than a 8800 GTX.

Well when I needed to help a friend with the same problem he tried the opposite way of what I posted and it never worked for him, so he did what I posted and then it started working find so I was just wanting to make sure everything would be done safely without trying to make a shortcut or something.

Don't forget to see what your computer temperature is at, it may be insufficient cooling and causing the fans to run slower, thus making your FPS drop. (I know, its probably not it, but just check).

long story short... you are in need of a major upgrade/overhaul of your system to keep up with todays modern games.
