ok so now that ure here, my splinter cells graphics settings r at the lowest. The video card settings r set to anti-alias off. (RADEON 7000 64mb oem-sapphire). The game is still running slow and the movement is pretty jerky, not easily playable.

Is there any way to reduce the graphics more or make is run smoother? :(

p4 1.7 ghz
256 DDR
winXP pro
radeon 7000 64mb
soundBlast. 5.1 oem <<these r above the recommended pc specs.
directx 9

thanks for your help. :)

Sounds like it dude, i got C&C Generals the other week and mine was the same, laggy and slow, so i got a new card and it kicks ass, the core speed of the 7000 jus cant hack it, plus splinter cells a beast of a game for specs&#33; B)

OR try this: install the new game IL2:Forgotten Battles....if you have ANY lag, you need a new vid card...THIS thing req&#39;s TONS of everything so it&#39;s a pretty good test

i apologize about the false advertising guys but i thought more ppl would check this out. :)
the resolutions is at 640X480 and all the detail settings r on low. anti-alias is off and the graphics card settings (filters and such) are also off. also i have new drivers (catalyst 2.5).
is the problem the RAM?, cuz RAZZ has more than me. the vid card is 64megs&#33;
i also have the new patch (which crashes the first training mission for some reason.)
so i think it is the RAM? should i turn off av and fire to speed it up?
thanks guys&#33; :)

sorry again. :wacko:
i didnt have the latest drivers (although i updated them about a month ago :huh: ).
since its such a new game i guess.
it really did make a pretty big difference, even the menus look a lot better&#33; :)
neways thanks for your help guys. :P

i think that it was rather obvious when u looked at it and it was not in the verified section and it said PERFECT&#33;&#33;&#33; like that it was obviously sarcasm but anyway who are you to tell ppl how to title their topics

just curious, I have Radeon 8500 64mb, but my system is a PIII-1GB with 650MB of SDRAM
do you think I can still play some of the new games such as Simcity 4000, UT2K3 and Splinter Cell?
