The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

I have found that, in general, the GeForce 5 series cards, for whatever reason, are far far far inferior at running Halo PC than the GeForce 4 series.
I believe it is because the idiots at gearbox built Halo PC to be optomized for the arcitecture of the graphics cards out at launch, with no thought towards flexibility.
My old GeForce 4 Ti 4200 ran Halo PC better than my "new" GeForce 5600 GT OC, and it only had 64MB of ram on it, my new card as 256MB. Go figure.
See my post above. The FX line (5 series) has more advanced shader support, but lacks the hardware power to render properly. Your 4200 provides a higher framerate b/c it is not rendering Halo with the more advanced DX9.0 features that the FX line was designed for. If you force a FX 5200 to use the same rendering path as the 4200, the FX will render at a much higher framerate...
