it shouldn't drop to 2-5fps. the game itself is pretty heavy though, so don't be surprised with framerates in the 30s or 40s. there was a problem with old catalyst drivers that dropped the framerate like crazy, but it was fixed with 10.4a or 10.3a or something... i don't expect that problem could have come back, but you should check the game's forums and see if anyone else is having trouble again with new drivers.

hmm i game @ 60-65+ fps @ 1440*900 at all high settings..earlier i was having 8800gt and used to get 30-35fps at medium settings.. they are not much difference in the game graphics comparing medium and high (atleast for me though )



have a look at the below techspot review of the game



Splinter Cell: Conviction Performance In-depth - TechSpot

I get around 30 @ Full HD with a 1 gig 4670

The game itself is very buggy. I had to go through a lot of frustration to get the game working. So i would suggest google for possible fixes.

I'm trying my luck with google, if anyone has some configurations/fixes do post.

same problem on

i7 920 6gb ddr3 ram and gtx285

the game starts well (with good fps )but after playing for time the fps goes down to 15 or less

FIRST I THOUGHT ITS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF USING 3D VISION DRIVERD BUT NOW EVERY ONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM SO



THERE IS SOME THING WRONG WITH THE PATCH

THE GAME WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE THE PATCH

OR CAN BE PROBLEN WITH THE LATE LEVELS OF THE GAME

^^ I have the almost same Rig.

i7 920, 6GB DDR3 RAM, GTX 280.

The game starts well and within 2 mins starts hanging like hell!!!

Even with AA off.

I play in 1920*1080...

I played it @1920x1080 anti was x2 i get 30-40 fps when i am outside and when im inside like a house or a mansion i get 50-60fps,processor 9950@3ghz,mobo 780g,graphics hd 4870 1 gb @820/1120,the game doesnt work that good when im outside fight it shutters and very laggy,some wht like crysis warhead at enthusiast settings on my pc.

i am also playing with 1920*1080..

there was a problem with old catalyst drivers that dropped the framerate like crazy, but it was fixed with 10.4a or 10.3a or something...

spindoctor is absolutely right !



I too was having the same problem, and played the game almost to 35% and came up with the new driver and that solved it all . I am at work, as soon as I reach home I will send you the url and then all of you can enjoy the game. Its awesome and plays really well on an old system as mine.

Okay here goes :



ATI Catalyst



I installed the game and had issues, then I pulled out the old drivers and installed the 10.4a Preview. The game played very well from there onwards.



Best of luck.[COLOR="gold"]
