Were talking about two completely different games. TF2 is not comparable to BC2 to say the least when comparing to graphics and game processing. Heat is likely your issue. Fan, fans, fans...

Also, if you have EVGA get Precision..... its a fan controller as well as a overclocker for EVGA/Nvidia cards.

Well it is on the lowest settings :P How do I set fans to 100%? Right now I got a little fan switchboard on the front of my box (inherited from my brother) I could kick those upto red but not sure if that would actualy do it

Try it.....

Do you have Nvidia card or not? Precision works well for graphic card cooling. Sounds like it may be a driver issue. Get the new one here... ::CLICK::

If you don't have an nVidia card, you can adjust fan speed of your graphics card in CCC for ATI cards.

Like others have said different games play differently with GPUs. I do not have to set my fan speed for any games other than BC2, Crysis, and red faction Guerrilla (and trust me I play a lot of computer games)

Also different GPUs have different critical temperatures. I had a 6800GT that ran at 90C and an 8800GT that ran at 65C without any issue even though my GTX260 gets pissed off at 65C.
