Your mother is so fat, she tried to jump through Halo and got stuck.

Go check out ma file share. plz? lol

Will this graphics card work for Halo? Right now i cant see anything detailed or anything that overlays something like blood splatters and bullet holes. My grass looks like it's spray-painted.

It will work, but its not great.

FOR THOSE OF YOU: dont flame the GPU. It works for Halo, but thats about it, and he probably knows that, so STFU.

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

I didn't even know the 6200 OC had SM 3.0 support, must be a rerelease. Anyways, the x1300 is way better, and it performs a lot like it's PCI-E brother, the speed of the bus will choke off it's max potential, but you should be able to run Halo at 1280x1024 at about 30fps. (I hear you get stutter if you try Vsync) I'm currently trying to obtain this card. Though this one is cheaper, the VisionTek one is better, I like them better than Diamond.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

If you want top-notch graphics get one of these bad boys. It'll cost you a good amount of money though.

wow, two med range cards in crossfire? Probably one of the biggest waste of money setups I've ever seen. And maybe that was top-notch 6 months ago, but not anymore by a long shot.


Anyway, that should probably do it, since I can at least see effects on my intel integrated, and a 9200 can handle the game quite well. You may have to stick with lower resolutions for smoother gameplay though.

VisionTek's is 64bit, Diamond's is 182bit.

I thought that since he linked to a pci version, that was what he needed. You linked us to the pci-express version.

I have the same card in AGP format, and its ok. I mean, it'll run Halo great, but not too well on others. Don't expect to run Oblivion or Far Cry very well though.

If you are talking about the XTX card, be warned. I have heard consistent stories about anything by them being DOA.
