It works but isn't smooth. Graphics card is ATI 4870 and I have the latest driver but it seems choppy. It may be the network code. My ping is typically 20 and now 40, which is low. I had some of this early in Vista and it was mostly the video card drivers which they did fix.
works beautifully for me on a nVidia GeForce 9400M.
Better than it did on XP I think

A lot of games will work better than they did on XP because the newer hardware have drivers optimized for Vista - and hence W7.
I agree that it isn't as smooth. Net_graph 3 shows that it is more jumpy on the network end. However I also seem to be getting lower framerates than on Vista.
8800GT overclocked using Xtreme-G 180.42/180.84 drivers. (I tried both).

I got drivers labeled as 181.00 Beta drivers - cannot remember where I got them, but I got them after the 180.84 GTA IV optimized drivers were released. I could have sworn I got them at SLIZone, but the nVidia beta center now redirects back to the nVidia driver download site for all beta versions as well...perhaps the 181.00 were pulled....
at any rate, you can try to see if anyone still has them available - if not, I can find out if it is OK for me to host it for DLs....

It actually runs very well here regurdless, but dont expect TF2 to be compatible until Win7 is closer to its release date as Valve do not have Windows7 to test their products on yet so its not optimized for Win7 Gaming
Steven
This is good information. What about running it in compatibility mode for Vista? Could that solve the networking code being better optimized?
I have an 8800GT, and I just installed the WHQL-certified 180.48 drivers. No problems here to speak off - although I will note that it crashes every now and then whenever I quit the game. Performance is pretty similar to Vista SP1. Or maybe, since my 8800GT runs this thing at 40+ FPS most of the time, I don't really notice any differences between 7 and Vista, performance-wise.
hey guys.
first of all, nice forum. really interesting stuff to read and nice people! good work
i also have this problem with tf2. and it is a network problem.
my net settings are fine and the pings on different servers are alright. but nevertheless it feels like i would be having a ping of 200ms or something.
i have to say, without wanting to attack anyone, i think this will only be noticed by more advanced players who move quickly and are usually on top of the scoreboard
here, take a look at these two screenshots of my net_graph:


i have absolutely no clue what causes this. again - this is a lag / connection problem, not an fps issue

I got this problem with my TF2. After i installed WIn7 (about a week ago), i was running TF2 @ 60fps in battles on all high. Now i barely get 15 fps on 32 slot server on respawn. and around 9 fps on 2fort battlements. The funny thing is, doesnt matter what settings i set, i still get same framerates...

there are problems with punkbuster. that's why i wrote )Tested on vista). Cuz there's not many populated non-punkbuster servers out there.
Guess I'll stay playing COD5
It will probably bea few months after 7 gets RTM that they release a compatible version

Personally, I stay far away from online Games using Punkbuster, It causes too many issues playing online
I'm getting some pretty horrible frames regardless of res/settings--and seeing that someone posted they used to get 60 frames in active areas is odd.
My specs are as follows:
8800GT 512MB.
AMD Athlon 64 4600 x2
2GB of ram.
Any help?
Usually ranges from 80 or so idle to dip all the way down to 15 in tense areas.

hey ahoy, i am also getting horrible framerates now. what's especially weird is that when i got a pop up over my windowed tf2, like outlook for example notifying me about a new email, the fps drop to literaly 5 fps.
i take it it's just the beta and that some games dont work proper like tf2. i reinstalled xp to play games for now...
edit: oh have you tried the trick with disabling aero & desktop themes while playing (modifying the exe launch options)? maybe that gives you better fps. it didnt help me though, despite the horrible net glitches.

Not surprised it doesn't work, they use a bunch of different system Hooks to monitor your system during Game play and their all not good programming techniques especially since Microsoft has told them they will remove some of the hooks they use with Vista and 7 since they where deprecated years ago.

Hey guys
I used vista before trying 7 beta...and i used to get horrible lag spikes in vista playing any online games (i connect wirelessly to the internet). I tried Vista anti-lag, wlan optimizer and many many other methods...but none worked for me.
Since i've installed 7 beta I've had NO lag and NO lag spikes
and my fps are the same as with vista
my rig:
e2160 @ 3 ghz
4 gb ram @ 800 mhz
x1950 pro 512 mb @ 1400*900
i'm extremly happy with 7 beta since online gaming was horrible with the lag spikes in vista

i have been playing team fortress 2 a bit more and my fps are actually lower than i stated before.
i get minimum 25 fps average 50 fps and max...well it doesnt really matter (200+ lol)
btw i went to device manager and see if the update driver online thing works...it actually does work...i updated my ati driver (it actually found a driver online and downloaded it and installed all automatically....that never worked for me in vista or xp) and it also updated my wireless card driver....im starting to like 7 a lot.

i dont know...i guess it could be your Pentium 4 :S...but to be honest i havent got a clue....maybe the driver support of my vga is better for the time being in windows 7
your vga card is better than mine...so theoretically you should be getting more fps
im guessing the cpu is creating a bottleneck...my brother has an older pc with a P4...they have the same clockspeed as todays cpus...but they dont perform as well
btw what fps are you getting?

e2160 is not that much of a difference in performance from P4 Hyper Threading edition. Maybe TF2 is not "optimized" for single cores.. but again i get exactly same results with hyper threading mode on or off, and funy thing is, when HT is on, only 1 "core" is being utilized(so other half of cpu is just doing nothing), and when HT is off, CPU is loaded 100%, BUT i still get same performance...
30 at most, 9 average, 1 minimum.

what OS where you using before? and did u get good performance there?
Vista. somewhat the same performance.
as i said, after fresh reinstall everything works PERFECT!
my k\d as a sniper is not lower than 5:1, and im pretty much dominating all the snipers on enemy battlements :P
but a week after fresh install, my fps drop below playable level.

Running nearly perfect with Win7 64 bit, 8800GT 512 and 181.20 drivers. Only problem is TF2 freaks out and stops responding whenever i quit. But that happened in Vista too

Does anyone's audio settings change while connecting to a server? Always have to alt+tab to change them back to normal volumes every connect..

The Steam Client Service violates a high number of Local System account Security policy's so changing it to your Admin account solves the Crash-on-exit and a multitude of other Game problems
Heres how I configured my Steam Client Service properties, It does fix the Steam issues

Goto your Audio properties and change this setting if you dont want your other Audio volume lowered when you start playing a movie/game or anything else

Has anyone had any issues with audio in TF2? When I launch TF2 in windows 7 my speaker settings are always blank and my mic doesn't work. The strange thing is that the mic works fine in Steam but not in TF2.
I have been having a problem when I play Team Fortress 2 on the 64-bit Windows 7. It randomly crashes on my stating there was a runtime error. I've done everything that I read on this thread yet it still happens. I was wondering if anyone can help me with it. I have a Nvidia 8800GT a core 2 Quad @ 2.5ghz and I run dual monitors.
I just got this through Steam and it won't even launch. It shows the loading screen then does a odd cycling of the desktop, flashes a lot, then makes a odd skipping audio sound. Have to exit with task manager.
I had that issue in Vista too.
That is if it's exactly the same problem.
Well my issue comes when TF2 is closed. the process isn't running, the program closed.
any new ideas or solutions ?
thx
thx
don't know, i top the lists from a Steam Install that is fromt he beggining of time, and TF2 since the 1st day out, Installes W7, no problem, it even runs better @30-50 - instant repawns and 32-slot 2forts, and @90 - with low pop servers
8800GTX
P.s. im scared to grade to 181.22 ,
any of you done it exept johngalt with his 181 beta drivers?

Hey, welcome to the forums.
I can't say I've had the same problem as your having. I myself had to do a fresh install of Windows 7 here recently because it was freezing up on me. But if I recall from the past that when i tabbed out of TF2 on vista when it had slow frame rates and then came back in it'd be fast again. Something to do with making the GPU reshade everything? I have no idea but its worth a shot to check out.
Also 2GB of Ram is actually like the bare minimum now a days. You might wanna go hit up newegg for some more ram since its so cheap right now!

Yes I used that driver (now with 182.05 beta) and worked ok. But I installed the WU driver first then installed this.
Theres a Steam Client Update available that fixed the "Crash on Exit" bug and many others and includes a huge list of hidden advances to menus and settings 
If you have previously modified your system configuration to prevent the "hl2.exe has stopped responding" on exit then its highly advisable to revert the changes you made previously as its finally been fixed
Theres a brief description here:

to download the update goto Settings> Beta Participation then select the "Steam Client candidate"

I loaded from me Win7 CD, and reverted changes . ^^ now running on non beta drivers ... the 1's from site for Vista ... not risking untill new version comes out
Id stick with the WU version then.
Mine works alright, just about decent enough to play.
It's really smooth when I'm only in the room/area, but when many players are around, it gets fairly choppy. Doesn't matter what my screen resolution, or other settings are at, it still does it. I have the latest driver and all.
I can still play, but has a scout. It makes everything more of a challenge.

i dont know now i backrolled to the Win vista driver form the site, Nvidia, exept im running games like off a calculator, TF2 - Lags and is a frigging Slideshow, COD4,Cod5 - Lagathon with slideshow effects,
ETQW - too slow to moove
its okay to play games in "small rooms" - small maps
with 10 ppl on the server
What happened, i tryed everything and new driver (BSOD again),
Old driver that worked -181.22_geforce_winvista_32bit_english_whql - slideshow
and the 17x.xx - version slideshow
and even when the settings of the game are set to Minimal, Lags and chops like playing on a Pentium 1,
i even re-installed, now its A bit better but im geting like 4-15 FPS (slideshow)
and about 20-30 at low pop servers,
if i run WINxp - no problems im flying like a maclaren F1
there seems to be some retarded glich with the updates on the Nvidia 8800 ... series, 2 of my frinds with the 8th series are getting the same troubles and with the bluescreens

Check your BIOS for an option called HPET (High Precision <random OEM name here> Timer) Its usally under the Power management settings... It can cause the exact symptoms your describing with games and the BSODs
Unfortuantly for you, the only problem i had for TF2 that i had was carried over from my Windows XP x64, Failure to locate background.
All i can really suggest is trying to delete your Team Fortress 2 File under
X:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\Username\
Delete team fortress 2
and try again.
Another thing, Basic stuff, Open up steam
Right click on Team Fortress 2
Defrag Game Files and Verify Game Cache.
And for good measures, delete clientregistry.blob from X:/Program Files/Valve/Steam/

i have to say, without wanting to attack anyone, i think this will only be noticed by more advanced players who move quickly and are usually on top of the scoreboard
here, take a look at these two screenshots of my net_graph:

Hey guys, hopefully someone here can help me.
I just installed my windows 7 and I am having some ms problems with my TF2.
When I am at the base I get 299 fps and 70~80ms (wich is normal), but in the heat of the battle my fps goes down to 150 (again, normal) and my ms goes to 150~200!!! (NOT normal at all!!)
I have installed the lan drivers from evga (my motherboard) and nothing changes, if its possible, even gets worse.
So I am using the latest driver avaible for windows 7.
Its not a problem with the internet, since my brother has vista and he doesnt have this problem playing TF2.
I have no idea what to do, and I really dont wanna go back to vista. =/
And for me, doing what 1nsane did, turning off the multicore option, its no good since I have a gtx 295.
Please, someone help mee!!
I just installed my windows 7 and I am having some ms problems with my TF2.
When I am at the base I get 299 fps and 70~80ms (wich is normal), but in the heat of the battle my fps goes down to 150 (again, normal) and my ms goes to 150~200!!! (NOT normal at all!!)
I have installed the lan drivers from evga (my motherboard) and nothing changes, if its possible, even gets worse.

Multi Core rendering means that tf2 will use 2 CPU Threads instead of 1. so it has nothing to do with your sli mode.
Hello again, Seven Forums.
This time, TF2 (And L4D) seem to be getting very low FPS, 12ish when there's a lot of action going on. No settings change seems to affect it, and it doesn't appear to be the network. I was thinking driver issues, but I could be wrong.
Specs are in the profile.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

Make sure you have vsync off and AA and AF set to low values.
I find it kind of funny that everyone with a Nvidia card said that the game plays great. But everyone with an ATI card says it is choppy, including myself. That is because ATI's 7 drivers are not totally unbugged yet. Or at least this is the conclusion I have com up with, I have use both my ATI x1650 pro which works fine with vista and TF2 and my friends Nvidia card...not sure of the model. But they are similar cards. With the ATI it was sort of choppy. With the Nvidia card it was clear and better than XP or Vista. So the only thing I could think of is the ATI drivers aren't working the greatest yet.

I like the Name and avatar Otacon. A fan of MGS, myself. Sorry to go off topic lol
Just got done running a benchmark and my score was really low. I've never really understood any of the numbers and such and was wondering if someone could maybe point out something that may be wrong that im doing.
Edit: Forgot the important figures:
FPS:9.1
Scores:229
Binary:Windows 32bit Visual C++ 1500 Release Oct 22 2009
Operating system:Windows 7 (build 7600) 64bit
CPU model:Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
CPU flags:2653MHz MMX SSE SSE2 SSE3 SSSE3 SSE41 SSE42 HTT
GPU model:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 8.16.11.9107 896Mb
Settings
Render:direct3d11
Mode:1024x768 windowed
Shaders:high
Textures:high
Filter:trilinear
Anisotropy:4x
Occlusion:enabled
Refraction:enabled
Volumetric:enabled
I flashed my bios with the latest, I've updated my video drivers with the latest. and I've tried to disable that Physx thing and it still runs pretty bad. I also have frozen about 5 times while trying to test stuff out in TF2 (3 times on default settings)

Try lowering your Anisotropy to x2 or even 0 for that matter.
Can you post up all your Graphic settings for TF2?

I also seem to be having issues with Team Fortress 2 under Windows 7. I can run the game just fine, until I connect to a server. After is sends all the information and whatnot, when it shows the the server's home page or whatever, the game will soon freeze up, and I'll have to shut it down using task manager. I've tried a lot of things people have said, and they all either confuse me or don't work. Here's some of my specs:
Windows 7 (32-bit Home Premium)
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (PCI)
Intel Pentium 4 2.66 GHz
If there's any other specs you guys need to help me, I'll be happy to give them to you.

What graphic setting are you running in TF2??
" I can run the game just fine, until I connect to a server." This would indicate you can run the game just fine...
Your system seems to be kind of low spec for the game, its quite CPU and GPU intensive, a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 would struggle I would imagine..

I'm not sure. I'll check later.
I've played the game on an even worse CPU just fine, so I don't think that's the issue.

TF2's fps dropped substantially after the Halloween update a few days ago and its a confirmed issue, I dunno if you would have much luck improving that until they fix things... Regardless what resolution/settings/dxmode I use, they all result in 40fps
Great forums u guys have here 
I got this problem with my TF2. After i installed WIn7 (about a week ago), i was running TF2 @ 60fps in battles on all high. Now i barely get 15 fps on 32 slot server on respawn. and around 9 fps on 2fort battlements. The funny thing is, doesnt matter what settings i set, i still get same framerates... I don't really feel like reinstalling windows every week, so do any of you any idea on how to fix it?
my rig: Pentium 4 @ 3.0 GHz
2GB DDR2 @ 600MHz
x1950xt 256 mb @ 1280*1024 LCD
as i said, i'm getting smooth framerates after fresh install. also i can play COD4 on 64 slot server on med\high settings with fluid FPS(tested on vista).
