OK, i'd like to know (just curiosity) if the Splinter Cell's engine (or all of the Game's engines) uses a different refresh rate that the one i have selected on the displays properties.
I've actually selected a 1024X768 Res. @75Hz (for windows enviroment) and a 800X600 Res. for the game, and my monitor supports a few points more than the 1280X1024 res., and i put that res. (1280X1024) at the game's options (by mistake, BTW) and i had the typical mssg "Out of scan range" from my monitor!!!...so i had to manually edit the config file for the game so i didn't have to reinstall it. That's why i'm asking that, 'cause i'm sure that my monitor can support that res. and even higher.

I guess he really wants to finish the game....it's paradoxical 'cuz i want to get a geforce4 (the graphics with geforce2 are dissapointing me with this game) cuz my video card is too little for this game.

Anyway, let's see if I can spend more time playing the game with this poor graphics i'm getting...

strange...'cause i have a geoforce 2 and was totally impressed by the games's graphics. Esp the shadow's (lighting) were ultra cool.

I would like to get a new video card but not because splinter cell broke its back.

The only game that has come close so far..is SOF2 on the huge map (the mansion).
I had to scale down the graphics severely to make it playable.
