With a 9200SE, he may still even get lag with all his settings really low. I hate to be a pessimist, but that's a really old card.
Anti- Aliasing? That's what makes lines appear smooth during gameplay. It may have something to do wiht it, if you have AA turned on.

if you have anti-aliasing turned on, i'd laugh at you. my old 9800pro would barely do any anti-aliasing in halo.TheChef said:
just turn all the video settings to off, and turn the resolution to the lowest. that should give you relatively smooth gameplay.
that IS a really old card though.
vsync is a feature btw. they wouldn't feature vsync if it made your computer lag. its used when two system's are unequal and you want to do multiplayer.
ever try playing halo online? if (most of) you played me online, i would get like 120fps MINIMUM in halo, and you might get something like 30 or so. that means that you would "teleport" once in awhile. yes, this is what causes it, because i play my brothers over a lan... and my comp burns my dads. (haha 7800gt + corsair XMS + dual core 2.54ghz vs. 9550se + kingston value single channel + 1.8ghz single core)
but, we set it at vsync and we run at the same speed
so, it just limits the game speed thats all.
haha "ATI-lising"

dont laugh at me XD anyway though it is running worse than the mx4000 64mb i had so.....fade2green514 said:if you have anti-aliasing turned on, i'd laugh at you. my old 9800pro would barely do any anti-aliasing in halo.

Err... what? The "teleporting" is caused by lag which is measured in milliseconds. It shows the latency of the data which is sent from the server to the client and from the client to the server. FPS is frames per second which only shows how many frames your computer is rendering per second.

lol dude.. AGAIN, you really need to stop preaching about stuff you clearly know little about..
VSync (vertical synchonization) synchronizes the buffer swaps with the monitor refresh rate. With the sync enabled, the frame rate will not exceed the monitors current refresh rate for the particular resolution. For example, if your monitor is using a refresh rate of 85Hz at 800x600, with VS enabled, you will never exceed 85fps (theoretically).
This feature is used to prevent the visual anomalies, image tearing and flashing polygons that can occur when the FPS is greater than the monitor refresh rate.

yes, limiting my gameplay and my father's computers gameplay to a certain speed so my computer isn't going literally2-3 times as fast.tweaker said:lol dude.. AGAIN, you really need to stop preaching about stuff you clearly know little about..

"teleporting" will occur in multiplayer if one computer is going much faster than another, this is one of the reasons they created vsync... so people could control the game speed... along with the "image tearing" and such....
i turned vsync off for halo once with my newer 7800gt, and i got my ass whooped on an "easy" setting because they went too fast for me. same thing happens in older games like Red Alert, and Red Alert 2. thats why they have "game speed" options.
