What graphics/video cards does everyone have, and how does it look while playing Halo PC?

When Halo 2 Vista comes up will you upgrade, and, if so, to what?

Geforce 7900 GT OverClocked 256MB PCI-Express

Looks awesome on 1280x1024 (Acer AL1916 LCD Monitor) here :D

looks even better using DXTweaker to get the shaders such as the cloak to show :D

Anyone use a laptop? If so what graphics card do you have? I'm going to college in a few months and I'm looking for a good mobile GPU that will be relatively inexpensive but decent as well. Any ideas?

I haven't the slightest idea what that is either lol.
Double D weaker what?

Just smile and nod, just smile and nod as the technical graphics card jargon flies.
Though I must say I like when people put in the specifics.

Keep it up guys, Cheers.

Joe Thanks for the input, that sound like a seriously sweet machine.

Could you elaborate on the DXT thing. And how big is the monitor.

Thanks.

Also did you download the NVIDIA tool things to overclock the GPU?

Is the 7900GTO just another name people call your mother, then?

Hmmm... I tried to be nice man but to be honest with ya I think you're a real dick Kim. Like I said before, I am aloud, and will do, whatever I want within the limits of the Bungie Code of Conduct. If you don't like it, too damn bad. Are you going to make me write in one post? I don't think so. If you have a problem with the way I post, in my own thread mind you, then go cry to one of the Bungie Moderators.

Come on man WTF.

Ok, on further review, after I reread your nessy comment post it is kind of funny. If you meant it as a joke and not as a bully :)

I just read a couple of comments to Frankie's "spiker" post. One says something like I wonder if it's like the SMG. The other guy goes "Your mom's and SMG". lol now that made me laugh.

I guess, knowing what you're other condescending posts were like, I thought you were really trying to dis Nessy. But i hope not cause it's funny in a jokeful way.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

And with that, welcome to the Maw!

9600XT. The fan on it recently died so if I want to play any games I have to hookup this massive floor-fan next to it which encompasses the whole side of the case.... but anyway... it looks ok I guess. 800x600, medium details.

I'm ordering a new rig very soon with a 7900GS KO so I imagine that will make a world of difference... and also let me play Halo2. yay.
