Intel:
DON'T I REPEAT DON'T EVEN TRY TO RUN SPV2 WITH THESE THINGS


Playing spv2 will cost you a mere 50-80 bucks for a stable frame rate but remember to make sure that you pair it with a good power supply at least 512mb of ram and a good CPU or you might have bottle necks with the high end cards.

Yeah I use to have an Intel card and everything was grayed out and I was getting 17fps

i find that an nvidea ge force 7600 with 256 mb of vram runs halo nicely
thats combined with 2 gigs of ram and 1.66 ghz duel cores (which is like 3.32 ghz in total)
i run halo on something like 1200x 900 with everything on full with no problems at all.......... maybe thats why my computer broke :P

I prefer a frame rate of 60 and up and these configs are pretty good at it

i have mine set specifically for 30 fps. otherwise i get up in the 130s which i dont like and vsync makes it look like quake or something. the motion litterally makes me ill.

Well all my PC specs are above recommended except my graphics card but because it is intel I always get an average of 30 fps in multiplayer (with occasional spikes) and around 9 - 17 fps in CMT SPv2. Judging by my gfx card I say that I need a new one. I just checked with Best Buy and they said that my computer model could not upgrade because it apparently has no open ports. I now as you guys this. Why can't I simply just free a port by taking out my old graphics card and installing the new one in its place. For some reason the "Geek Squad" said I couldn't do it.

Should have called the thread "official 'can i run SPv2 with my graphics card?' thread"

also, ATI radeon 9550 Stealth thingamabob

No I only used the campaign as an example of how my graphics card works when there are many particles and stuff. Oh also all my settings are on High.

ATI Radeon 9250 PCI
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT
Nvidia GTX280/260/200s
Nvidia Geforce 6200 PCI

cards lol
are those all good cards for spv2?
i think the 8800 has problems with particles or decals.... i think it was decals

as I mentioned in the recommended cards decals off for that reason

press your windows key and the R key and type dxdiag

So the only graphic cards that need to disable decal (but otherwise run Halo at Full settings) is the Geforce 8 Series right?

yes

nVIDIA Geforce 7150m Mobile Technolngy.
Then after that its connected to my 37" vizio LCD.

I take that its the counterpart of the x1100 and should run at 800x600 medium settings decals on

Just wondering, will these be enough for CMT SPv2?

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
CPU Speed: 2.40 GHz
System RAM: 767 MB
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (Build Service Pack 22600)

Video Card
You Have: RADEON 9550 (ATI display adapter AGP (0x4153))

Video Card Features - Minimum attributes of your Video Card

Video RAM: 256 MB -
Video Card 3D Acceleration: Yes
Video HW Rasterization: Yes
Video HW Transform & Lighting: Yes

Your cpu and ram should be enough but with your graphics card Im not so sure, you may have to run at 800x600 with low-medium settings but you can have decals.

I have that too. It is the essence of suck. My Game Boy has better graphics.

Anybody got a solution? Because I'm poor right now.

i have an ATI Radeon 9550 128 megs

Geforce 6200

This worries me.

Does anyone have a solution for better graphics for under $1?

cuz I'm poor. Right now, anyway.

Should work fine at 1024x768 all high decals on


You can manage all high with decals at 1024x768 but will have stutters I recommend playing at 800x600

For Intel users try this out.

or this:
http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/index.htm

I'm runing on an Amd sempron 3400+ K8 architecture 2.0 ghz cpu, 2x512mb corsair DDR400, a Western digital 160gb Pata drive, a 80gb Seagate Pata drive, and an 8500gt with 256mb of ddr2 OC 700mhz core,500mhz on the memory(1000mhz)

Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller (Intel(R) 82845G Graphics Controller)

Yes! I love my crappy graphics thingy.
It's so sucky it's not approved for any 3D game!
Woot woot
-danced-

I don't see anywhere to download it, just descriptions. Where can I get it?

That's what I thought, but I ran SPv1 finely though. It's such a good feeling knowing you can actually play something at the recommended FPS.

I have that -.- snow grove buildings look like play doh to me -___-

Did you get this update for colored armor and texturing for the Intels?

http://www.download.com/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-Driver/3000-2108_4-10300119.html?tag=lst-0-5

Better than the newer version with grey armor, but still not the best.

Not really my computer is quite dated, its not a dual core, uses ddr ram when ddr2 is the new standard, and pata hard drives
