I have a 9800 Pro (128MB) and it runs Halo just fine. I play with everything on high (except specular) at 1024x768.
A regular TV runs at 640x480 interlaced, meaning at any given moment only half of the horizontal lines are drawn, giving it a resolution of 640x240. An HDTV or an EDTV can run in "progressive scan," like a computer monitor, where it draws each line every time. It looks much more solid and crisp. An HDTV can also run at 1280x720p (progressive scan), or 1920x1080i (interlaced). At those resolutions, it looks incredible. At 1920x1080, Jay Leno looks like he's sitting in your living room.
