Splinter Cell Double Agent

Yep, the 7800 supports SM3.0 which the game requires. My systems not far off yours, Athlon XP 3000+ but with an ATI X850XT, this still plays some of the recent releases just fine so why drop support for SM2.0 is beyond me, unless they ported the textures straight off the 360 version and couldn't be arsed to recompile them?

As of right now the game is hardly worth playing. It may get alot better with updates, but I'm not sure. I have a good rig, and I have to lower almost all settings and disable HDR, AA and whatever to get a decent framerate. Let's hope for heavy improvements in the future.

I've got Ati Radeon x600/x550? Can I start the game or not? Does my graphic card supports that Sm 3.0 or not?

[Muyfa666]

No, it does not. I think X1600 is the lowest that has PS 3.0.

Here's the Patch description... doesn't say to much about graphical improvements...

Anybody made a no-DVD for the patched version yet? The old no-DVD .exe replacement works fine, but I noticed that the patch changes the .exe too so a new no-DVD .exe is needed.

It didn't change my EXE, so are you sure about that? I also had all the improvements of the patch with the original EXE.
