Splinter Cell: Conviction PC Specs Revealed – Don’t Worry, You Can Look!

With the way games are advancing on a technical level, PC gamers really are in dire need of those super computers from the aliens of space that they hoped to get their hands on back when Crysis was released. Fortunately, they’re still surviving. Now, Ubisoft have just released the PC specifications for upcoming Splinter Cell: Conviction, and things are looking good, as they look relatively decent and not very taxing.

However, this is Ubisoft we’re talking about, unfortunately, so you can expect Splinter Cell: Conviction on the PC to come with their latest DRM system, which requires you to be permanently connected online to their servers in order to play even the single player of the game. Which means, if their servers crash or you lose connection to the internet, you get kicked out of your game, whether you’re playing online or single player.
