Splinter Cell: Double Agent: A Performance Analysis

jmke · 11th December 2006, 07:19

We tested Double Agent on a variety of cards from both ATI and NVIDIA, all of which support SM3.0. The ATI cards we tested were the X1300 XT, X1650 Pro, X1650 XT, X1950 Pro, X1900 XT 256MB, and finally the X1950 XTX. From NVIDIA, we tested the 7300 GS, 7300 GT, 7600 GS, 7600 GT, 7950 GT and 7900 GTX. Without SLI support the 7950 GX2 was unable to perform as it should given it is effectively single-card SLI; the GX2 saw frame rates lower than our single 7950 GT, thus it was excluded from our tests. Also, NVIDIA's 8800 cards were excluded from tests due to rendering errors during gameplay. While the game did run on our 8800, the Sam Fisher model was warped and twisted into a very strange shape making gameplay pretty much impossible, as the image shows below. Hopefully we will see a patch for the game that will address this, along with the other SLI/CrossFire issues and various bugs soon.
