I have a really old computer, and in it was a Geforce MX 5100, 128 mb. I upgraded to a Geforce 6200 256 meg, with the hopes of running "team fortress 2" (a first person shooter) more smoothly. But after upgrading, my game runs much more slowly. My friend even noticed it and said something about it, without me saying anything to suggest it.
What changed?? I upgraded drivers and double checked my task manager. I dropped the resolution from 1024x768 to 800x600 and dropped all video and sound quality sliders as low as they go, and still i end up with 6-7 frames per second. My older video card (which by the way had several capacitors blown) was running around 15, pretty steady.
The only thing that I can think of that changed, is my hard drive is now more nearly full than it was before. I have a 40 gig with currently 2.8 gigs free. Last week I had probably 3.5 gigs free, but either way that should be enough I'm pretty sure.
Any suggestions? I'd be happy to provide more information about my system if it would be of use.
