Subject: Halo 2 Vista Perfomance Issues on New Rig. (HELP!)

I've just built a new comp and Halo 2 Vista plays considerably worse than on my old one. I've forced V-Sync in the NVidia Control Panel but all that does it fix the tearing. The game is stuttering and is just getting on my nerves.

My Specs are as follows:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
ASUS P6X58D Premium MOBO
Intel Core i7 920 OC'd to 3.66GHZ
Corsair H50 CPU Cooler
GeForce GTX 275
6GB G.Skill RAM 1600MHZ
WD Caviar 500GB HDD
Antec Nine Hundred Case

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Weird. Even a game as terribly optimized as H2V should run fine on those specs.

I know, my old comp wasn't even half as fast and played Halo 2 better. This is frustrating!

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

H2V hates powerful computers. I wish I had an answer, but every time I plug a hole another one appears.

I used to experience the same issue when i had a Nvidia 9500gs with and updated driver. I solved it by using this driver version http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?soft wareitem=pv-60687-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=e n&os=2100&product=3740326

Once you have loaded the driver in the link turn on vsync for halo 2 pc

Hope it works for you because it did for me back then before i change to ATI
