i bought halo 2 for vista and i installed it and whenever i try to play the game laggs like hell! i cant even shoot a grunt on easy mod- it cant get laggier than that requirements- what i have windows vista- Windows Vista home premium 2 GHz proccecor- 2.6 GHz X2 1 GB of RAM- 3 GB RAM 7 GB of hard drive space- 274 GB free NVIDIA 6100,ATI X700- NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE PLZ HELP! I REALLY WANT TO PLAY HALO 2!
most likely it's the integrated 6150 SE graphics. you need a dedicated graphics card. and when you get a graphics card, you will need a new high quality power supply; NO CHEAP POWER SUPPLY. total that up, that's about $300, give or take depending on what you get. power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139003 graphics card (assuming you have pci-e x16): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150304
thanks but ive acctually found another solution i just lowered the resolution and detail and now i'm playing just fine
yep. it's the 6150 SE. you won't play higher than 800x600 on it. you'll have to turn down most eye candy to get decent frame rates.
Another solution is to run it on XP via patches. You can't play online but the game single player mode works fine. It also works better on the graphics end.
thanks 4 all the help guys i'm gettin a new graphics card next week(hopefuly) ne suggestions on what would be good? and not sumthin that costs like 700$ cuz this is my brothers money i'm using
Holy S***, Dude, you can get anything with that! The 9800 GX2s. Basically the best. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=9800+GX2&x=0&y=0 The 9800 GTX. One level down but runs everything no problems. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=9800+GTX&x=0&y=0 The 8800GTs. What most people have. Best price/performance ratio. Runs everything on Max except Crysis. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=8800GT Also see all the other 8800s such as 8800GTS, 8800GTX. It goes 8800GTS<GT<GTX The 8600 is also really good for really cheap. It will run many games at High to Max. Halo 2 will be maxed out easily.
thanks man now only thing left 2 do is pick 1 and order in now i'll finnally b able 2 c the marines faces!
just make sure you have a PCI-E slot in your computer and that it has a big enough power supply. What computer is it?
