It is probably running slow because your graphics card isn't up to it.

What is it?

If your not sure run diagnose.exe (http://www.tombraiderhub.com/download/diagnose.exe) and post the results.

If you could tell us what stuff your computer is made of I'm sure we could give you more and better suggestions...

np: The Cinematic Orchestra - Time And Space (Ma Fleur)

Not really - the FX 5x00 series was probably the crappiest line of nVidia cards ever made...

That, and you didn't say what CPU and how much RAM you have...

Right-click on your "My Computer" icon and select "Properties", or press the Windows key together with the Pause key.

Your CPU and amount of RAM should be listed in the bottom right corner of the "System Properties" window.

Your system is not exactly "high end"... I don't think you can expect great performance with every feature turned on.

I was messing about with the graphics settings yesterday and I noticed that if you disable 'full screen effects' it greatly increases the framerate of the game. You could try that I guess, but of course you'd lose the volumetric effects, like smoke and beams of light from above, but it's worth a try and still looks pretty great.
