800x600 and 16:10

By field of view, he means that in Halo 2, the FoV is 70 degrees. He plans on making a hack that allows for 90 degrees, possibly more or less too.

Yep.Many people prefer a bigger FoV

I know that Nvidia cards have an option to maintain the aspect ratio of the game, so if you're say, running a game at a 4:3 ratio on a widescreen monitor, the monitor will place black bars on the vertical sides of the screen and the picture is enlarged but not stretched.

Do ATI cards have this option?

LOL, anyone want to try running H2V at the 2.35 ratio (theater widescreen)?

Do ATI cards have this option?

Nope. Thats why you buy a monitor with an internal scaler.

Actually, the GeForce 6600 GT is a better rival for the X1600. Yes, the X1600 does suck, that much.

Look for the two blue lines. Your 7600GT is a dozen or so cards above the 6600.

Admittedly overall the X1600 beats the 6600GT, but just click the overall score, they're RIGHT BESIDE each other.

That chart is spoofed, how can a 7300GT possibly beat a x1950GT? Also that's Flight Simulator X, it's an inaccurate game to judge video cards on. Just because the 6600GT performed as well as the X1600 Pro in one game that doesn't mean that it has the same performance that the X1600 Pro does. All you have to do is check the clock and memory speeds and most of the time that is what tells you which card performs better.

I Don't recommend using widescreen with HPC. I play so much better in a 4:3 actually. And some of my friends say it's easier. The Lead changes some.

Thanks for the vidmode command, that'll help me a bunch I'll use 16:10 resolution instead of 800x600.

I get over 100 FPS at 1440x900x75

I can get it in CE fine, but not in H2V, which is what I'm asking.

Oh, thats neat.

My brother had the macbook pro with that card and was able to play oblivion at 1440x900, so that does widescreen resolutions. Perhaps the patch just released fixed the resolution problem?

The problem is that Halo 2 Vista is such a resource hog. I can barely play it with my 6600gt...

About the x1600...I do know that my friend has horrible time with his mid range ATI card.

[bleach]

uhhh...i don't really know how a Visiontek ATI X1550 PCI will do on H2V.
