My girlfriend's setup is as follows:
Athlon64 3000+
7600GS
2GB DDR (PC-3200)
Now, we play a lot of TF2, L4D and L4D2 and I really think that, despite the fact that the hardware wasn't in the high-end segment even when it came out a few years back, it should perform better than it is, especially her graphics card.
What I don't get is that she has roughly the same FPS regardless of settings. In TF2 with everything on Low or None, she gets way below 20 FPS if there's a few other players on screen. Strangely, the FPS doesn't decrease much if we turn settings up to Medium-High.
Any ideas? We've tried a few different drivers (including the old 187.45) but that didn't really help all that much.

In the meantime though, her L4D performance is severely impaired by not seeing things until after they've happened. I'm currently on a 3700+ (overclocked to 2.9GHz) and a X1900XT and they're doing the job well enough. I just didn't think there was such a huge gap between a 7600GS and the X1900XT.
