Halo + Radeon 9800pro = Wtf?!

I've been playing Halo on a GeForce 5200FX, wich sucked bigtime cos the card was slow as hell.
A month ago I bought a RADEON 98000PRO, so I could play games at nice 1600*1200 settings or 640*480 x6 antialiasing(try it in Painkiller , goodlooking as hell).

My problem is that when I play Halo it works worse than my GeForce!! I have like 10 fps @ 1024*768.. wtf!

Anyone know what's wrong?

 

Have you patched to the latest version? 1.04

Do you have the latest ATI drivers? Catalyst 4.5

The game runs much better for me with the latest patch. Of course, I don't think I ever got 10fps.

 

I have the SAME problem with the SAME 3d card; patched game and all; very depressing

 

You guys both used drivercleaner to clean out all the leftover nvidia crap?

 

ok... i am here to defend my overclocked FX 5200!!! it looks as sweet as hell on it... but your problem might be in the VSync area... dunno

 

what nvidia crap?

 

the nvidia registry entries, dlls that weren't deleted etc etc.

in short: did you completely remove the Nvidia Forceware drivers ?

 

Here's a link to driver cleaner, clean out all the nvidia stuff, then reinstall the ATI drivers.

EDIT: Oh, and what's the rest of your systems specs btw?

 

I've seen this issue a number of places. Only thing I saw everywhere was to make sure FSAA was disabled.

You also might try the "optimized" drivers from Omegacorner.com, but I make no guarantee about their quality or anything.

 

System specs:
AMD 2500+ barton
1024 MB ram DDR 400mhz
120gb SATA

(antialiasing off)

I think I could have some leftovers from Nvidia, I'll try to remove'em with that prog.

Thanks for the replys!

 

Damn.. it still is slow like hell.

 

WHat's your motherboard? Make sure you have the latest drivers for it (via 4-in-1s/Hyperion or Nforce (forceware i think?)) And did you try reinstalling the ATI drivers after you removed the nvidia stuff?

 

Ansitropic filtering should be set to off, too.
