I DL this game, and come to find out I need Dx10, my buddy tells me that I have to buy a new video card.


I have 2 nvidia 7800Gt's


Is this true that I will have to buy new cards just for DX10?


Thanks,

I don't see that requirement anywhere on the recommended requirements.

Umm, DX10 isn't out yet so I have no idea what you're talking about dude. If you have 2 7800gt's running in SLi then you shoudlnt' even be asking this question, so either:

a) You're lying for whatever reason
b) You just want attention
c) You are not very smart yet have the financial means of building a great computer, which in itself is a contradiction because you probably custom built it.

But I digress, DX9 will run the game fine especially w/ 2 cards. Update your drivers, that's all I can think about.

Thats what it says, does not meet minimum requirements.

Here's an idea... try running the game on an OS that IS NOT Vista.

Pay no attention to Capt Asda, his computer knowledge is lacking at best.

I think your problem is Windows Vista, which I notice you're using. I installed the game on Vista with no problems and it works fine, though when I use the Detection Tool on the Splinter Cell disk it tells me I need DX10. Which is crazy as it has not been released yet...

Is it not letting you install at all? In which case update with the drivers on the SCDA disk and try again. Though really I'd recommend switching back to XP for games, I'm dual booting because some games are pretty laggy with Vista atm.

Here's an idea, why doesn't everyone stop being so hostile to people who ask a decent honest question. The game obviously works on Vista as proved by Mike Nelson's post and the guy just needs a bit of help to figure it out.

You and I have different ideas on hostility, apparently. If I was to provide a hostile answer or suggestion I would have used such words as "moron" or "retard", possibly even "idiot". I think a few profanities thrown into the mix would have put the icing on the cake. He asked for help and I gave him my answer. It was blunt and to the point, not hostile.

Blunt and to the point: OS?

Hostile: What fucking OS you using numbnuts?

No, he was rude and then tried to cover it with some nonsense about being "straight to the point". Other excuses might include "Stupid noobs always asking stupid questions" or "You gotta have thicker skin to post on the internets". Fairly standard stuff.

If anyone deserved hostility/rudeness in this thread it was Capt Azad, for his fantastical suppositions of smitty and his reasonings for daring to post a question about his problem. Capt Azad has very questionable logic for suggesting that smitty is either a liar, an attention seeker or stupid. But I digress. :dabs:
