Need a decent 8800GT driver for Halo

[t3h m00kz]

Okay well I've looked and looked and I can't find any Geforce 8800GT drivers other than the latest. From what I understand version 162.22 of the drivers ran Halo great, but I can't find it anywhere. I'm getting shit framerate on an old game with a graphics card that can run Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War seamlessly.

Help. Plz.

'fo I smack ya. ;o

EDIT: Also, I'm on Vista 32.

Hmm, I just turn off decals and I get 800 plus fps all the time, no problems ever :l

i was thinking of getting a 8800 GT, but didnt because people were having problems running halo

With this (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.21_whql.html) version of the Nvidia Forceware driver I have no problems running HCE. There is however a newer version of the driver (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_174.16.html) with support for the Geforce 9600 GT, so that may work better.

Also I'm on vista 32. Those don't seem to be vista drivers.

I feel ya' man. On my old computer that had Vista Home Premium, there were only drivers for XP but not for vista.

[t3h m00kz]

Yeah so I'm sure you know that it's sad when Halo 2 Vista runs better with 60 fps than Yoyorast at 20 fps. ;o

Buttery. Fucking. Smooth.

THANKS :haw:

EDIT: Bah that only lasted for about five minutes. Still getting frame lag.

Only one of those two worked, the earlier one I believe. The other one said I didn't have the specified hardware. >:|

Just gave me a black screen when I tried to start it up. I could hear, but I couldn't see anything.
I'm still with 09.

My 8800GTX loves shitting on me in outdoor areas.Whoel screen tears and gives me weird artifacts. Indoors though it's perfect.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[t3h m00kz]

that's disgusting. ur nasty.

Same here Masterz, how sad it is that our cards that are capable of running Halo at 1k+ frame rates are being raped by shitty drivers (At one point, when I first got my 8800 GTX, I had no issues with tearing and got anywhere between 900-1000 FPS on Halo).

It kills all tearing dead. Period.

How much have you overclocked it? It shouldn't give artifacts unless overclocked to ridiculous speeds.

Haha...xD...I love you :D

Halo was badly ported. In my opinion. No offense to GBX, ofcourse.

[Syuusuke]

Yea man, Halo was badly ported 4 years ago when the 8800 came out recently, damn GBX.

Halo has some strange way of rendering that makes third party wireframe applications, anti-aliasing, and 1080i support screw up, for some reason. :/
