fps problem

i have a decnt computer and graphics card, better than some people who play h2v, and i still only get 20 fps when i play.

what is wrong with my computer?

specs: 1gb ram, amd athlon 3800+ dual core 1.9ghz a piece, adding up to 3.8 ghz, ati radeon x1300 pro agp 256 mb 533mhz

i should be able to run it just fine, what should i do differently?

i play with all settings low.

Looks like you need a better card to me. I doubt mine will get much above 30 or 40, tbqh (probably 30). I have a X1650XT. The recommended card for a decent performance was x1800, with the requirement of x700 or above.

Yeah, so apparently Halo 2 Vista followed Halo PC's footsteps in being a poorly optimized game... Try getting a X1950GT AGP, it will probably offer you best "bang for the buck"

try playing with a 6200

but yeah 1300 wont run it great

Wrong. A dual core 1.9ghz processor does not mean it runs twice as fast, only that it can handle twice the volume of threads. You may want to upgrade your processor as well, because Halo 2 Vista requires atleast a 2ghz processor(s).

Well, I have 1.5 gigs of ram, an athlon 64 X2 3800+ at 2.0 ghz, and an ati X800GTO pci/e 256 mb, and it runs at 40-70 fps

I hope. When I get this game, eventually, after finals, which will be like mid june. Sigh.:(

And hey, if that setup can play fear maxed out at 40+ fps then im fine.

Oh yeah, x1300s are almost on par with x300s or x500s which are

$h!t

And I suggest

You get A new one PRETTY soon, or you will be in big trouble. There are a lot of good deals on newegg, so check them out.

BTW srry about that big space under this I dont know how it came there

well, it could be a mixture of things i suppose. i had my computer cleaned out by a remote technician and it helped me out alot, but i suppose i could still upgrade a bunch of things. are there any console or config modifications yet?

I have the same card with a better processor and only get 20 fps at low lvls as well.

I have an ATI Radion X1900 GT and I've gotten better FPS in H2V than I did in H1 and I'm playing at the default settings in H2V.
