Undescriptive Topic Title ~Fyerrblad

u need a graphics card that support shaders (piksels 3+)

like what?

really, just get an updated graphics card, or get a mac. lol

idk if i even have a graphics card :P

You do,you must if you want your computer to work.Buying another one would be a good ideal to get shaders.

Your computer can't handle shaders.

You basically need a Graphic Card supporting at least Shaders 2.0 to run Shaders. Obviously, a better graphic card is good too, since I'm experiencing problems with my Ati Radeon 9600, supporting Shaders 2.0. I can't run Shaders in Toribash 3.8, even after having updated my graphic card's driver.

What's your Graphic Card, Faerdin ? Simply open the Start Menu, Run, dxdiag and post the content here.


Most of the recent graphic cards support at least Shaders 2.0. Even old graphic cards support these shaders, like mine (Ati Radeon 9600).


Updating the drivers might not work at all, I did this for a while, and my shaders don't work anymore. Plus, Ati doesn't release drivers for the old gfx cards


You do, else you couldn't even run Toribash or whatever


Pretty much. But make sure the graphic card you are willing to buy is compatible with your computer.


Can't know that if we don't know his gfx card.

here are the results of the dxdiag i ran:
