Eagerly opened Splinter Cell: Double Agent after getting it for Christmas, only to install it and get an error message relating to not having Pixel Shader 3.0!
Tbh I can't understand it - the graphics didn't look overwhelming impressive enough to require only PS 3, and surely Ubisoft are going to lose an enormous share of the gaming market by doing this (computer game companies are still out to make money aren't they lol?)
I know my computer's getting kinda dated now, so I didn't expect to be able to play it on max settings or anything - but, still, I spent over £200 ($300+) on my X800 only a couple of years ago, and it plays other new games like FIFA '07 fine. I should be able to play it at least, you'd think.
But apparantly not, so is there anything I can do? It doesn't look like there's gonna be a PS 2.0 patch, so I'm looking at this graphics card: (the only AGP PS3 one I can find) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-063-HT. I know I should probably build another pc for PCI-E and all that, but when/if I do that, I want to do it because I'm ready, not because some silly game forced me to.
Is that graphics card alright/is there anything I can do with my current hardware to force Splinter Cell to run? I know you guys are pretty much the experts, so if you can't help me no-one can lol.
Any help's much appreciated
