Wow, what a retard you are, mafia10.

SharifGT: The 6600GT is much better than the FX5500, but it will struggle with Halo 2. It may manage the lower detail settings at low resolutions, but if you want decent performance, you'll want something better.

if you turn the detail right down it might run, but it'll probably run with a bit of lag.

Well, my parents have tried Halo 2 Vista with 1024 x 768 and high detail settings. Using a 7600GT It runs playable... kinda.

Averaging ~40FPS in most areas and topping in the 70's. Some parts drop to nearly completely unplayable, averaging maybe 12-17FPS.

Using this system:

X2 3800+ AM2 @ 2.4GHz
2GB PC2 6400 RAM
7600GT 256MB

So the 6600GT might be a stretch but you'll probably be able to play 800 x 600 with low settings... just a guess though. It seems to be picky on what video cards it plays well with.

So if I were you I'd invest in something along the lines of a 7600GT/X1650XT or an X1950Pro/7900GS if you can spare the extra cash.



AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 4GHz(20 x 200) 1.5v 3000NB 2000HT, Corsair Hydro H110 w/ 4 x 140mm 1500RPM fans Push/Pull, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5, 8GB(2 x 4GB) G.Skill RipJaws DDR3-1600 @ 1600MHz CL9 1.55v, Gigabyte GTX760 OC 4GB(1170/1700), Corsair 750HX

A friend of mine's laptop has an X1400 Mobile, which although slower than an 7600GT is probably about the same, or slightly faster than a 6600GT, and that can't play Halo 2 properly at any setting. The frame rate dips as low as 10 sometimes.
