@AhmadMetallic:

How do I find out what my graphics card is?It didn't list it in System

Found it:

Intel(R)HD Graphics Family

Found it:

Intel(R)HD Graphics Family

Probably not. Integrated Intel Graphics generally isn't known for playing nice with a lot of games.

So you have a laptop.. I don't think I can be of further assistance :P Dunno my laptops.

Didn't know it being a laptop mattered,sorry I should've mentioned that in my op :(

What model laptop is it? Do you know if it has any type of high performance mode using a discreet GPU instead of the integrated one? Some of the newer ASUS laptops carry two separate GPUs for different performance modes, that you can switch between on the fly.

According to the intel site its definelty possible to play games with its integrated cards but the 1000 and 2000 are pretty poor in comparison to the 3000 which runs as well as a low end dedicated graphics card in some conditions.

heres the intel link and below is a youtube link of the 3000 playing conviction, he has all settings at lowest and 1280 x1024 and game runs okay but he has an i5 processor

here is an i3 with a hd 2000, the difference is amazing, very slow and stuttery

hope some of this helps, you could also try system requirements labs can i run it service

Yeah, if anything it would be the Intel integrated graphics that nix the ability to play it. Unfortunately even the most recent *desktop* Intel graphics are still not enough for serious gaming.

If it makes any difference I would run it off of Steam

It might maybe run, but it will look godawful and you're much better off not bothering at all.

No difference, really. And with that laptop you'd be better off not trying at all. Buying parts and building a desktop would be the way to go, you could get a really decent one for minimal cost these days. For instance, an AMD HD 4850 video card would cost next to nothing and will play that game at pretty much max graphics no problem.

here is what you can do (to be fair i dont know how accurate it will list it on a laptop but you can try)

go to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com find the game under Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction click the can you run it button and it will ask you to install a program that reads what hardware your using. after that is done it will show you a rough estimate of what is fine and what is lacking for minimum/req/max

if your not happy about installing that program incase you dont trust the site or me them plz dont do it. i personally have not had any kinds of trouble with it and i have never heard anyone complain but i just dont want to be blamed for something.

other then that i would say that from what little information you have giving and my lack of hardware in a laptop i would say that you might have some trouble running the game basically due to your gfx card
