Since I have a crappy computer, I was thinking of upgrading. Would this be good enough to play in 1920 x 1080 resolution?

Get a better Graphics Card and you forgot RAM.

I already purchased Patriot Memory 4gb DDR 3.
A better graphics card? Isn't GTS 250 sort of good?
Not really
Get a HD Radeon 5500 series
[QUOTE=Soul-Chicken;24604778]Get a HD Radeon 5500 series[/QUOTE]
This.
Get a 4850 and a 955. Games don't use 6 cores, and TF2 definitely doesn't.
Silly, you need [b]FAR[/b] more RAM than that to run TF2.
Get an extra 16GB, just to be sure.

Alright. Thanks for suggestions.

So what does the command Multi-Core Rendering do?

250 GTS is fine for TF2. I have a 9800 GTX (Which was re-branded into the 250 GTS) and I can play TF2 with an average framerate of 70 and a minimum of 45.
Of course, it's starting to get on a bit, and if you can find something superior for little extra cost and want a bit of future-proofing, consider that.

Did you try this on those overpopulated 33 man servers?

It tries to split tasks across two cores, but it still mainly pegs the first core and only use the others on the side.

So the other cores won't even affect the gameplay of TF2?

I don't play 32 man often. But I don't recall any issues when doing so.
The 250 GTS is fine for TF2, but if you're looking to play more modern games, a better card would be recommended.

Someone told me about ATI 4850. Would do that do it? :v:

Enables multi-core rendering.
But with TF2, I'm pretty sure it can't fully use 4 cores, so 6 would be a waste. You can run TF2 easily on a nice dual or triple core.
This will run TF2 well:

I think that the 4850 performs on par with the 9800.
Get this one.

I'm not to familiar with AMD's HD4x series of cards, but looking up a few benchmarks it looks on par with the 250 GTS, sometimes a bit better sometimes a bit worse.
I'd rather not make a judgment due to my lack of experience with that card.

Thank you. I will try and get the quad core. Though hexcore sort of is awesome.
So far:
AMD Phenom II x4 Deneb
4gb Patriot
Windows 7 32bit(I don't have 64bit)
Sapphire ATI Radeon 4850
Storm Scout Case

Damn it
I think you should consider buying a 1GB graphics card, since you're going to play on a pretty big resolution. As far as I know, 512MB is enough if you play on resolution 1680x1050 and lower.
Requirements:
Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection
4850 is good enough, I play on max settings with 16:9 1080p resolution with a 4770 which as far as I know is pretty much the same, maybe a bit better.

Hope you're joking.
Do you mind if I get an opinion for my computer in your thread? I don't want to make another one of these threads.

Heres what I use, it's pretty good for alot lower resolution.
here is what I use.
[img]http://i51.tinypic.com/sy73p0.jpg[/img]
I put everything on maximum and get about 60 fps on average (no vsync)
It doesnt say my CPU speed, it's at 3.7GHz all the time. and at 30C
go post in the hardware and software section, you're going to get a lot of fucking retards in here

Everyone in here seems helpful besides the mouse and keyboard requirements.
You can run it, hell, I can even run it with an Nvidia 6200 GeForce,512mb ram and other garbage.
I have a GTS 250 and it runs perfectly fine
