This is an old problem with a solution that gives me fps drops.
(Geforce FX5900)

When I use drivers after 56.72 I can only see the flag pole, not the flag, and all dust particles is stuttering. If I use "disablebuffering" in config.txt the problem is gone but my fps drops from 120 to 65-70.

the 56.72 driver is perfect with Halo but runs newer games like crap.

Is it a better solution for this problem?
Please, a fix?

Nvidia cards never really work that good in Halo. Only the Radeon seems to render the flag or invisible shields correctly.

Its 66.93 Iamwhie, Nvidia screwed up big time there, the 6800 is probably my last Nvidia card ever.

...so, A) update your drivers, B) do what i said about playing with the grafphics (turn them all on) and C) ATi has made many more mistakes regarding drivers than Nvidia
so the score is ATi=1 Nvidia=to high to count
