    Splinter Cell despite High-End PC unplayable due to massive stuttering! (640x480)

    Hey guys,

    maybe someone can help me. I bought Splinter Cell Conviction some time ago (during Steam Sale). Now I finally found the time to play a bit, but as soon as I get into the menu everything goes crazy:
    I have a pretty **** good PC and even if I put all the settings to low and the resolution to the lowest one (which is 640x480!!!!!!!) the menu and the game stutter enormous. If I put it to the native resolution of 1920x1080 the stutter is even more intense.
    I tried setting the affinity to all 4CPU Cores but did not work either. The game should easily run fluid on my machine. (i7-2.8GHz, 12Gig Ram, GeForce 460)...What can I do to be able to play the game?

    It obviously is not a hardware issue since already on 640x480 and low settings everything stutters like hell......

    best

    Do you have any error message?

    I have a machine almost like yours and use in this resolution too, 1920x1080.

    I'm running the game in 1920 x 1200 with a GTX 480 and 4 core Intel i7, and there's absolutely no stuttering. Smooth as butter. Try turning off visual themes and especially the Aero Desktop and see what that does.
