humm,
No i dont have a LCD moniter,
I guess it might be the video card, just the thing I dont understand is why my Geforce FX 5200 256mb card runs Halo bad, yet a Geforce 2 Go (For Laptops) will run it fine? I did some more testing. The mission you have to rescue the downed marines at the begining and is a outside level, im looking down the canyon at the complex they are fighting in and I take the assault riffle out and hold the trigger down.... and its pop... pop... pop... pop... pop... pop... seriouslly its that slow, i can count and even see on the counter each individual shot being fired. Thats how slow it is! I have turned all graphical settings to low. I have turn all special effects off. and the games resolution is 640x480. Halo is somewhat playable but still has slow downs in big open areas. Now, this would be the result of a terrible video card like maybe a ati rage 128? yet I have a geforce fx 5200 which is a supported card for halo, and that card will run Doom 3 on medium high graphics, it will run battlefield 1942 on high graphics, itll run Rainbow Six Raven Shield on high graphics, itll run Splinter Cell and Splinter Cell 2 Pandora Tomarrow, but it wont run Halo!?!?!?!? There has got to be something conflicting. I have hurd around the net with a lot of the gamers I play with that there is a select few people out their with high end specs that games will run slow on. Infact, i dont remember exactually what it was, but I think it was a driver from some video card company that said it fixed a problem with a specific game running terrible on good system specs. I just downloaded the new 71.84 or w.e drivers from Nvidia today, I tested halo out again and it still has the same problem. The only thing I can think of, is there is some lighting effect or some effect halo requires that my card dosent have, thus it being the only game I cant run smoothly? My next option I guess is to see if their is any tweaks out their for halo that can make it run faster to see if i cant find a workaround to my problem...
Sigh, (puts halo cd back in box)
