Get a a 8800 GT. Plays Halo 2 at max settings with easily over 60 fps. In fact, anything over 60 fps with Halo 2 vista will suck, because of poor programming. Mouse stutter and poor movement. You have to force v-sync through the Nvidia Control panel since the option is not on the actual video settings menu. Of course, a lot of stuff will depend on your processor and the amount of ram you have.
It also plays Crysis fairly well at high-med.
Oh and the 8800 GT and 9600 GT are basically the same except the 8800 GT is a bit better performance wise and the 9600 is based on newer technology and doesn't over heat as much as the 8800. But overall, if your looking to play H2V at max and other games then this is the card for you. Great for COD4 and all the modern shooters.
