Anything Better than an ATI x1950 is more than enof to run Halo 2 Vista On high.

I recommend:

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium or Higher

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo EX ( 2 Cores)

Video Card: ATI x1950 Pro or Better

RAM: 2-5 GB, 2 for ok and 4-5 for asome.

Hard Drive: 500GB +

Power Supply For Video Cards: 500w +

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Very funny, and thanks for the info. :P

and as i have said!!!!!! they state the x7000 because the WHOLE 9000 series will not play it but in some cases there are some 9xxx series cards that are much better than the x700 now please understand this please. its not like the game just WONT play because you have a 9000 series card in there but do you remember halo 1? if you had hardware that didn't meet there minimum requirements then t said would you like to continue? if you do then that explains it self!

I know the Graphx card sux. An ATI Radeon X1300 Pro. But many people say it won't run Halo 2 Vista smoothly at even 1280x1024. But I can run Halo 1 PC at 1600x1200 with settings MAXed Out very smoothly. No lag. No chokeing. Is that... nromal?

The nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra is a good alternative that can render Active Camo perfectly.

comparing h2v to halo1 pc is like comparing a ford festiva to a Ferrari and NOBODY but microsoft + bungie knows how all the video cards will re-act and perform to h2v

so expect with a x1300 pro to play h2v around 1280x1024 lowmed to med settings

Sup, I'm (ES)Kenshin, the leader of the (ES)Clan and an admin on the (ES)Clan dedicated server on H2V.
Halo Custom Edition - 1,419 Hours.
Halo 2 Vista - 257 Hours and counting.
Xfire - cmkenshin

Why ATI? Why not Geforce? i know that Halo 1 PC doesnt render the Invis right. but i think H2V is going to be different. and btw:
X1950XTX = GeForce 7900GTX

My Card renders the Halo 1 Cloak perfectly even better than the Xbox 360 halo 2 version.
And there is no way a Geforce 7900Gtx matches up to a x1950 Pro maby the XTX but not the Pro version
