Hi all,
I'd like to know wether it's possible to play Splinter Cell Double Agent on an ATI X1200 graphics card...

Double Agent uses Shader Model 3.0 and the ATI X1200 cannot perform that shader- it only uses 2.0, so no, it will not work. Sorry.

No, it does have shaders 3.0... The only thing im worried about is wether it is strong/fast enough to handle the game. It doesnt matter to me if it has to be in low details and all.

Sorry if I was wrong on that. I tried to search for the capabilities of that card and found one review which said that. All I can tell you is that it is not on the list of supported video cards so it may or may not work- even on the lowest settings. If that is on a laptop, it becomes even more iffy as to whether it will work (even laptop versions of listed cards do not always work). The good news is that I have seen the game for about $10 so it is a cheaper risk than when it first came out (what was it- about $45 or $50 then?)

Is this what you are talking about? http://www.notebookcheck.net/A...ss-X1200.3775.0.html
Doesn't sound very good for games.

"ATI Radeon Xpress X1200 is hardly apt for gamers. Only old games like Quake 3 Arena can be played in 1024x768 with high/medium details fluently. Even Warcraft 3 runs fluently with minimum details. Current, damanding games like FEAR, Doom3 and Quake 4 can hardly be played (e.g. 2 frames per second in battle scenes in Quake 4). Some strategy games like Age of Empires 3 can only be played with minimal details (20-25 fps, tested with a FSC Amilo Pa 2510). "

I can play SC chaos theory on the X1200, is that enough to say that it is likely that SC double agent will work on it?
