hey all, i picked up splinter cell conviction duing steams summer sale a while back and finnally got around to playing it. I gotta say, What. The. Hell. on low settings it barely gets 25 FPS, controls like a turd on wheels, (I cant tell you how many times i died be because i let off the key to move forward and Sam just keeps strolling on his merry way right into a crossfire) and is just plain miserable to play. Im running it on an R1 has anyone else had these problems?

I ran it fine when I had my R1 around medium settings if I remember correctly. Can't help too much because I do not have it any more. Just to be sure - are you running it with Performance Mode on?
-
yea plugged in and everything

Go into Nvidia Control Panel and set the graphics to quality and make sure AA and Multisampling are turned off. Performance mode has been discovered to actually reduce FPS because it forces reduction on rendering and thus a heavier load on the CPU. Quality leaves it alone and high quality amplifies it.
I think these settings are available in the R1. It's been about 8months since I've had it in my hands.
(Heading off to sleep I'll check in tomorrow - Hope you get things going - Good luck)
edit: To get to the control panel right click your desktop. (Sorry if you already know I am just trying to cover everything so you can get back into playing)

Conviction is just a really bad port. Graphics are so-so but frame rates are terrible. :| DeeVu is right, try his suggestions and you'll get better frames

Hah! I'm facing the same problem on both m11x r1 & r3 (sold the r1 to fund my newly acquired r3
).
On r1, to play smoothly, all my settings were low and on r3 (i5), the settings are ~very medium low, can't go any higher without deterioration in frame rates.
I think the problem is with the game itselfbecause so far I haven't had any trouble with other games on the r3 (assassin's creed brotherhood, just cause 2, mafia 2 - all on high or medium high).
