Hi there
I may bein the wrong forum here, but i really need some help. I am having trouble finding the correct graphics driver to run Halo with and wondered if anyone could help? I have an SIS 630/730 graphics card in my comp, but as already stated am unable to find an appropriate driver to run the game with. If anyone can tell me what graphics driver i need and/or where i can find it I would be most grateful.
Thanks

Dont take the regular 9600....most of them have crappy 64 bit memory.

if ur very budgeted limited, get the radeon 9200 (only support direct x 8.1), but it is very cheap. Do not touch NviDIA cards that are older then the 5600 series, as the 5200 blows. I am running a 9200se (the -blam!-tiest of all 9200 w/128) and get 69 ping but have to run with nothing on. Framrates are very good, especially with omega drivers.

You should try the new ATI Catalyst drivers (4.6), I'm using them on my Radeon 9000 Pro and have seen a huge performance increase over the last Omega Drivers without Halo issues (based on Catalyst 4.4 I believe).

Playing the game at 1280x1024 using the "-use11" feature with no slow downs and it kicks the Xbox version into dust.
