Thats cuz there isn't one. I would go to microsoft.com and look at the specs for Windows Vista. I would wait to buy a video card until vista comes out or at least until ATI and Nvidia start releasing their DirectX10 capable cards.

well i don't plan on spending a lot right now, im getting a 256 mb card with 256bit interface and decent core and mem speeds. If need be ill buy a second card and run a crossfire set up when H2 vista comes out, which means ill have to start saving right a way after i build this computer, maybe i can get some birthday and x-mas money.

even if you're running crossfire, you'll be running it with two DX9 cards. Vista will take advantage, as will Halo2pc im guessing, of DX10 and so it wont matter how beefy your rig is. I bought a 7600GT for < $150 and am saving the rest of the money for a DX10 card.

My PC is just a few hair strands above the minimum specifications required to run Halo 2, so I intend on upgrading to PCI-E to get a DirectX 10 graphics processor.

I was originally gonna go with an x1600xt, but new egg ran out of the model i wanted, so i think i may go with an x800 gto. If i don't have a direct x 10 card when H2 comes out will i be able to run it at all? I just want to run it on medium to high settings, i don't need it maxed out. Also if i buy a direct x 10 card later on will that crossfire with a direct x 9 card? Right now my ocmputer is so bad i have to run Halo PC on the lowest settings(i can't even see the flamthrower flames )

Halo 2 Vista will still look significantly superior to the Xbox version with DirectX 9 cards, don't worry if you're having second thoughts on buying that GeForce 7950.

My computer runs like a god, but sadly vista will not run on it... :'(

However wait for vista to come out. Get an alienware and try Halo 2 vista on it.

Friends don't let friend buy Alienware. Too over priced. Send me the $5000 instead I'll build you the same system and use the $2000 I saved to upgrade my machine or get a second one.

Like Master Kim said, Halo 2 will look awesome even on the -- er -- "inferior" DirectX 9 vid cards. I say inferior because by early 2007 Microsoft will already have made DX9 cards obsolete. I'm hoping that whoever does the port for H2 will at least make the game run better on newer video cards, because Halo PC currently doesn't run that well on my FX 5500, while graphics-intensive games like BattleFront II run like a charm.

I'd say get a decent video card for now and then save, so that you can buy a DX10 card when available.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

I believe the the GeForce 7 series will have support for DX10, although it hasn't formally been released. It's just a software thing, seeing as DirectX is just like a driver. Halo 2 should look and run well on a newer card though. (PCI is dead now.)

Well either :
-Something about the differences between Halo 2 PC and Halo 2 XBOX

-Gamelplay video, trialer, teaser, interview, commentary video, etc.

Videos last much longer than screenshots,
