Your CPU is under specs and your GFX card is as well

Yes, If you put the resolution down all the way.

Um I don't have to to lower the resolution to 640x480 do I?And if so will I get a stable 30 fps?

I'm aware of the minumim requirements put out, but i'm not so sure about if/how a duel core can handle this? i'm taking some advice and upgrading my comp, so this might be my new specs:

-Athlon X2 4200 + 2.2 GHZ (I believe this is a athlon style duel core?)
-Ge-Froce 7600 GT
-biostar NF4UAM2G
-1 gig ram (possibly 2 gig?)

sorry if screwed up on some, I'm renembering this on the top of my head. i would usually compare to the req already put out, but as I said, i'm not so sure about the duel Athlon.

i Have an X2 5000+, Geforce 7600GT, and 2GB of RAM. Haven't played the game yet, but I'm sure it will run fine at 1024-768 at medium/high details.

So who did better? Hired Gun or Gearbox?


Neither. Microsoft has done a horrible job once again. The game is 3 years old, with slightly updated graphics and requires top of the line hardware to boot (all for nothing by the looks of the game, so must be horribly optimized). Thanks, but I'll stick to FEAR/Battlefield/HL2 on PC and Halo 3 (beta for now) on the 360. All of those provide a far better gaming experience (both visually and gameplay wise), while requiring less hardware (and hey, no Vista).

EDIT: Found a good review of the game from snackbar-games. Here's a snip of it.
"For a game that was released in 2004 for the original Xbox, Halo 2 sports some incredibly hefty recommended system specs. Ostensibly, the reason for this is that the game has received a significant face-lift over its aging Xbox brethren. While this is something one learns to tolerate in certain cases, it doesn't appear to yield terribly significant results in the case of Halo 2. There are new, high resolution textures, slightly larger numbers of character models during cut-scenes, and new, dynamic lighting. Unfortunately, these are all tacked onto a game that nonetheless still looks like it's over two years old. Moreover, Halo 2 doesn't take advantage of Vista's DX10 architecture, a curious choice given that the game is supposed to be the flagship title for gaming on Vista. It's also difficult to accurately convey how frustrating it is when your normally capable gaming PC has trouble keeping up the framerate for an Xbox game on modest settings. It reeks of poor optimization."

Video ram is different from your system ram. It's basically where your video card stores the textures for quick access. Having said that, I doubt that high settings require a 512mb video card. 256 should be plenty enough. Heck, FEAR uses about 340megs of VRAM when it's at high res and highest settings (and that game actually looks good while doing it).

I was with you (MrNick) untill you said this:

GAaaayyyy

EDIT:

Second opinion anyone?????


LMAO, don't worry about it. You will be able to run everything on Max with 1900x1200 Res (If supported by your config)


Not sure if you were being Sarcastic, but I have the game and I have:

AMD 5000+ X2 @ 2.8GHZ
2 x 1024MB G.Skill DDRII 800
Sapphire x1950 Pro @ 614MHZ/800MHZ

My monitor only goes upto 1280 x 1024, but at full everything at 1280 x 1024, the framerate is fairly consistant at 60 on maps like midship, but on say Containment or DISTRICT!! (<MASSIVE FPS HOG!)it will drop below 60 almost the whole game.

It's not CPU/RAM bottleneck, becuase CPU usage is about 10 - 15% per core while playing and it uses 1157MB/2048MB ram.

It can only be put down to huge graphics card bottleneck, I run these settings and they work well:

in a window (Full screen is very jerky, frames are consistantly reading 60fps but it doesnt feel smooth at all)
1152 x 720 W/S
Med
0xaa

Playing the game is ace, 60FPS in any situation, but when recording in fraps, the video card bottleneck kicks in, strugling to maintain 40FPS in open areas(Stock clocks or overclocked)

I can PLAY the game comfortable at: 1280 x 720 in window with full aa and high L.O.D but if XvXHalo3XvX plans on making montages, he'll get quite a shock..

This port (and/or windows vista) is very un-optimised. I cant wait for those conversion librarys to get Halo 2 running on XP, it'll be interesting to see how different FPS are through XP



EDIT: This coming from someone who can play Halo PC at 200+ FPS with 16x af and 6x fsaa forced through CCC....

It will, but at medium settings, and not too high of a resolution.

How well do you think my system will run the game?

AMD Athlon64 3800+ 2.4Ghz
2x Geforce 6800s in SLI running at 380core and 800Memory each with 256MB of Video Memory
2GB of DDR400 Ram
200GB of Storage
16x DVD Rom


And how high do you think I can set the graphics?

Vista Premium
3GB DDR 2 667 RAM
250GB SATA 2 HDD
AMD 5000+ Dual Core Processor
256MB ATI X1300 Pro (best card I could get as PC is small form factor).

That X1300 Pro is going bring you WAY down. Old architecture with only 4 pixel pipes.

It really depends on how well H2V handles SLI (I know nvidia SLI drivers for vista kinda suck). You should upgrade to a single 8800GTS, it will destroy those 6800s.

Gaming Systems:
Intel Core i7 720QM (4 cores, 8 threads)
4Gb DDR3-1333mhz
1Gb AMD Radeon HD 4650
Windows 7 64bit

Xbox 360 w/ 20Gb HDD (2008 edition) & XBL Gold.

Ok i am getting a better PC than this, i'm just biding my time until my birthday, as i'm sure you'll all realise why.

Current PC rig stands like this:

Pentium 4 "Prescott" @ 2.8Ghz (i can overclock this easily, however)
1GB DDR400 RAM
128Mb Geforce 6200 (i can overclock this as well) Factory Clock settings of: 350Mhz Core 400Mhz Memory
Windows Vista (of course)

Now, while a 6150 may be an integrated card, which sucks up your system memory, the Geforce 6200 card i have definitely does not, it's a discrete card and it doesn't use that crappy "TurboCache" thing which also still borrows ur system memory. I don't care if i can only run the game at medium settings and 800x600 with no AA or ASF. I just want to RUN it. Can i do it? Also, will this game run offline? This PC isn't connected to the internet, but it can be with a bit off cabling faff. It'd be far easier to just install, then play Campaign. Or does it need to be registered?

This is just something i found in research:

"Although the integrated graphics cores from NVIDIA have numeric markings close to 6200, their performance is far inferior to that of the GeForce 6200. This comes just from the architectural features of the GeForce 6150 and GeForce 6100 – although compatible with DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 3.0, these cores have only 2 pixel pipelines and 1 vertex shader. So, the GeForce 6150 and 6100 do not try to compete even with low-end GeForce 6 series cards in terms of performance."

I hope this means i have hope, hehe :P

Ok I need a consult on this. I managed to get H2V, did a full install and then launched the game. It showed the bungie logo, that video with the cells dividing, and then bam! Blue screen of death, my vista had crashed. So I restarted, reran the program and again it crashed at the same spot. So I did what anyone would do, uninstall/reinstall. This time I tried the play game and install feature which resulted in the same crash at the same time. So I gave up and decided to get some rest. Now that my convention is over, I find myself wanting to fix this issue. Especially since I spent money on the damn game.

So here's my specs:
Windows Vista Ultimate
Intel Core 2 Duo e4300 @ 3.3GHz
2GB DDR2 800 RAM
eVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB

I doubt any other hardware is causing the crash, but I'll post that info if anyone needs it. It's either the game is bad and I need to return it or there's an incompatablity issue with my hardware. Which one do you think it is? Got any other ideas maybe?

Thanks

I have been thinking of buying H2V since it came out. I was hoping that I could run the game at medium graphics with this computer:

OS: Windows Vista Home premium
Graphics Card: Nvidia 7500LE
RAM: 2 GB
Processor: Dual core 2.4 Ghz
Drive Space: 250+ Gb

Thanks.
