You hear wrong Nvidia>ATI atm, BFG 8800 Ultra ftw.

Ok, I'm looking at ATI tho right now. +Rep for all!! Keep replying.

EDIT: Freelancer I would get Ultra it looks very awesome, but 800 bucks is a little crazy IMO.

DOUBLE EDIT: Crap I can't give out any more rep. Tomorrow I rep all the people I left out.

Don't waste your money on the 2900. Check the benchmarks for yourself; its not even considered competition to the 8800GTX.

No way, Nvidia>ATI for the past 5 years. Right now the best card you can get is an 8800 ULTRA, but I think it's like $800. Heres proof that Nvidia is Better then ATI. One 8800 ULTRA will get more FPS then two 2900 XT in crossfire mode in most games.

i would recomend waiting for something with Gddr4 memory, something along the lines of an 8900gtx, or whatever ati will bring out for it.

If you cant wait, I recommend a GTX.

and btw, nvidia>ATI

I'm running two 8800GTX's and it runs at a very high fps, in fact so high that the animations speed up. :|

GDDR4 memory makes pretty much no difference. ~5% performance.

I'm running an ATI X1900 GT and it runs great on H2V on all highest settings. It was on sale at best buy too when I got it. You should be fine with something like that but it you feel like you need more, it's crossfired enabled, so you could get another and being doing great.

yeah, since halo 2 isnt DX10, you dont NEED a DX10 card..
