Hi, I've recently upgraded my graphics card to a Geforce GTX 750. Ever since, I've been getting fps loss. Funny thing is, if i run a a youtube video in the background or something, it makes the game unplayable. Lowering the graphics has no effect, hell, i find i get better FPS on max settings.
It doesn't always drop, but in intense firefights sometimes it freezes for 1-2 seconds or drops below 10 fps.
I've got no clue on why this is happening, my PC is more than capable to run this game above 100 fps at all times

Are you watching regular youtube or the new gaming youtube? I've been finding that the new gaming youtube eats a lot more resources than the older one so that could probably do it. If not what processor are you running with the 750?

deetrCheck your temps
don't forget drivers
also more than likely it's a problem with your cpu.

Which directx are you using?

im using directx9, and ive got a Phenom II X4 995. It's wierd that other games that are more graphically demanding work better than tf2.

I was having a similar issue with my GTX 660 Ti. My FPS was crap (dropping to about 20-30 during midfights/firefights), and my screen kept lagging and stuttering. I tried lowering the resolution and graphics settings, and also tried out Chris' DX9 frames, but my FPS would still drop.
To fix it, I changed the "power management mode" settings on the card (Nvidia Control panel) from "adaptive" to "performance". Also, since lowering the settings wasnt doing anything, I thought maybe my cpu was the problem. I didnt check the temps, but I cleaned my cpu fan to be safe. Can't tell which one did the trick, but I'm getting about 300-400 fps on idle, with about 250 in midfights/firefights.
venger47 Lowering the graphics has no effect, hell, i find i get better FPS on max settings.
Also, for some reason it also seems to me like i get better FPS with max settings. At least less stuttering and screen tears.
edit: should mention my cpu was kinda dusty

I went and changed to performance also. Thanks for the tip. The CPU is clean too, no problem there. What is this Chris's DX9 frames? Is it supposed to increase framerate?

tbh its probably your cpu and dx9. tf2 is a very cpu intensive game and after updates (especially the gun mettle update) the game has become very demanding because of optimization issues. If you want to try to boost your frames, and have more consistent frames check out some fps configs most of which can be found on tf.tv
edit making your game dx8 will get rid of skins and increase frames too

Thanks mate, I've been considering updating my CPU for awhile now, I will soon :)
