I had XP with a 7800GTX, could get TF2 up to constant 60FPS
Now have Vista with a 8800GT.

COD4 can get over 100FPS on low and stays at around 90FPS (again, on low)
TF2 stays around 15-40FPS on both very very low and very very high settings

Every other game seems to play smooth as butter except TF2 (haven't tried other
souce games tho) (Tried COD4, Devil May Cry, Mass Effect, Eve Online, UT3)

Is there a problem with Source and Vista?

(edit: v-sync off, all app controlled settings in drivers)

No, there is no problem with source and vista. Just update your drivers.

Then something else is wrong. I've played Source games on my computer and they run at an average of about 150 FPS (as high as 300 sometimes).

Do you have any proof? I have vista 64 and ply tf2 maxed out max AA at around 100fps with my 9800gtx.

See the things that make this odd for me are:

- All other games work ok

- TF2 worked fine with the 7800 on XP

- I get the SAME framerate in TF2 on both LOW and HIGH settings

Yup, and my meta data and pagefile.
This was a clean install of TF2 after a Format and clean install of Vista..
Then before I got my 8800GT I defraged, disabled all unneeded services and background programs, etc
Got it running as best as possible

I do have problems with my firewall and TF2. What are you using for a firewall?

Yeah 175.19 (nintendog, those are latest and I have SP1 and all other hotfixes and updates)

Comodo Firewall (tried disabling it as well)
