Gfx- radeon HD 7950
Ram-8gb corsait vengeance

Any help would be appreciated!

I have given up after about a year and one pc upgrade mine still does the extremely long load time and no one seems to have an answer why it does that.

Dont have the game but have you ccleaner installed and run it to clean up unnecessary files and their defragler both from same website, probably some of the best free software utils available www.piriform.com

Another site to help with performance www.blackviper.com

I've already tried defragging. And my pc was formatted a few days ago. I don't think I could gather up enough clutter in a few days to make the game load 5-7 mins per map, but thanks for the suggestion!

TF2 normally has rather long loading times. A lot longer than most other games.

5-7 minutes is just way, way too long, though. Mine normally loads up in 2 or 3 minutes, 4 if I'm really unlucky.

Excatly! I should also also be getting around 2-3 mins load time based om my rig specs

Then two suggestions... does the game use windows swap file to load... if the size of that was too small that would probably cause a problem. And also... check your environment settings... windows sets usually sets its temp within in the windows system. I made a separate folder... on 2nd drive E:\temp instead of the default C:\windows\system\temp (or similar).

Thanks for all the help guys but I fixed the problem....I loaded it onto my friends insanely fast ssd and tested it on my rig loaded under 1 min and maps about 50 seconds So I think I'm going to buy me an ssd at rage this year

Again thanks for all the help,

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to improve the loading times, other than getting a SSD, but it would have to be 120GB, as I assume TF2 is quite huge.

Cool, might I suggest a 120GB, unless you are absolutely sure you can survive on a 60GB. I have a 60GB vertex 2 and with Windows and Battlefield 3 (24.1GB), I am left with 11GB.

The following is what I would recommend you: OCZ Vertex 4 128GB 2.5" SATA6G SSD - R1,192
