What is a shader model?
I just purchased a game that says under video card requirements "128 MB
shader model 1.1 and directx 9.0c compatible video card" I have Nvidia GeForce4 MX 420 with the latest driver from the manufacturers website. My problem is when I start the game, I can hear sounds but there isn't the correct picture. Do I have to purchase a new card or is there some way of downloading what I need? Thanks for any help! |

You may require the latest DirectX installed with a minimum of DirectX 9.0c. But normally if your PC's spec didn't meet the minimum requirements when attempting play the game you would receive an on-screen error message? You can run the directx diagnostic tool which will check your configuration: 1. Click Start, click Run, type dxdiag in the Open box, and then click OK. 2. On the System tab, view the processor and memory details of your computer. 3. Click the Display tab. In the Device section, note the name of the video card and its Approx. Total Memory. . Click Exit. If your system requires the latest directx, download it from he http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx |

I did this and it looks like my card doesn't have enough memory to play this
game. I'll look into upgrading it. Thanks. |
