When i launch splinter cell conviction (Which i bought for uplay) it says that my OS (Windows 8.1) isn't supported and that my graphics card isnt either. I can click ok for the OS error and the game will load, but the graphics are terrible. I have no clue how a 4 year old game can't run with my gtx 970? Someone please help as I bought this game myself and would really like to play it
 
Solution
Hmm,You Should Try This

1)Right Click On Application
2)Click Properties
3)Goto Compatibility
4)Try Running It In "Win7"/"Win XP"/"Win Vista"

If It Does Not Work I Would Recommend Installing A "Windows 7 64Bit" It's Good For Gaming

I have done this, and the game runs, but the graphics are really shocking as it says my graphics card isnt supported for some reason, here are a few screenshots for backup.

Are You Using 8.1 32Bit Or 64 Bit??
BTW,I'll Still Recommend Installing A Fresh Copy Of Win7 64Bit
As 8.1 Sucks It Does Not Support Many Games

I am using 64 bit
I would also like to keep windows 8.1 as I do like the setup of it and I have a lot of information and work on it which is easy to access.
Do you have any kind of reason as to why this could be happening?

It is definately something to do with the graphics card.
It has an error saying my model isnt supported
Other people have had this issue but no one has really found a solution from what i know :((

MayBe Your GPU Is Latest And The Game Is Old So It Might Not Support GTX970 But It Is Very Rare Case If GPU Is Not Supported.....
