Halo

Halo uses pixel shaders of versions 1.1, 1.4 and 2.0. This game doesn’t support full-screen anti-aliasing, so again we didn’t turn it on as well as anisotropic filtering.

The fastest cards on chips from both ATI and NVIDIA show similar results, but the GeForce FX 5700 Ultra based ones are slightly faster than the RADEON 9600 XT at overclocking due to their higher frequencies.

The RADEON 9600 PRO-based card added little frequency and thus profits little from overclocking, while the overclocked RADEON 9600 reaches its level.

The GeForce FX 5700 LE behaves distinctly from other cards on NVIDIA GPUs. At its regular frequencies this card is even slower than the GeForce FX 5600, but at overclocking it outperforms the GeForce FX 5700 and closely follows the GeForce FX 5700 Ultra.

The oldies RADEON 9200 and GeForce4 Ti4200 behave differently: the former doesn’t execute version 2.0 shaders, but only outperforms the GeForce FX 5600 XT and GeForce FX 5200, while the GeForce4 Ti4200-8x offers you the performance of a GeForce FX 5700/RADEON 9600 PRO.
