Anyone else have the problems with Splinter Cell Double Agent that was mentioned in the new review on Anand? I'm getting an 8800 series card soon and would still like to be able to play this game.

Pretty much everyone with that setup trying to run that game (myself included) is. Been waiting a couple weeks now :|.

Evidently, the new 97.44 drivers have a workaround to get the game going. Don't have either the hardware or software, so I can't confirm.

Aye, and I'm at work for another couple of hours. I would hope it'd work considering they said so in the release notes, but you never know I guess :x.

It looks like the full version's performance is just as bad as that of the demo on the non-8800 cards. I'm going to get it anyway as the gameplay looks good, but it looks like I'll have to stick with 640x480 to get any decent framerates. :p

Well, Sam doesn't look like a random blob anymore, but there's flashing textures all over the place and the lighting just isn't working correctly.

FFS, I had to get past TWO separate crash issues just to get into the game, where I expected it to work; Ubisoft (and maybe NVidia) is really dropping the ball here...
