fps problem

[Cortexian]

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"

I have a C2D E6600, 2gb RAM, 8800 GTX, I'll tell you if the game is "poorly optimized", or whether you guys just need better specs when I get it on the 31st.

Well, if you read the hired gun blogs they specifically talked about removing engine optimization features like LODs and mipmaps, so yes I imagine it is poorly optimized...

I hope i get atleast 30 fps. 20 fps..ehhh

[Roostervier]

In the case the x1300 really sucks that bad, I will probably get at least 50 to 70 fps then.

yeah..replace your video card

k, im stealing your computer

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).

from what i've been told, AMD Athalon reads the GHz differently then intel. So 1.9ghz is actually above 2.5GHz

I thought ghz was similarly universal.

it reads ghz the same it just does more work per clock cycle, so a amd athlon at 1.9 ghz would be the equivalent to a p4 at 3.3-3.4, but a core2duo would at 1.5ghz would be the equivalent of a athlon at 1.9

I have an X1300 (upgrading to dual GTXs this summer). It runs like absolute sh*t. I'll get 20 fps if I'm lucky. I ran on high settings; the menus had artifacts!
