Shader model trouble

Orimae · 03-04-2011, 01:06 PM

Like it says... i run on shader model 1.. and this is what i see..

Now Opper checked the graphics card is use , GeForce 7600 GT , and it says that it should support shader model 3... so why can i only run in shader 1, with heaps of lag, graphical errors and not nice and smooth on shader 3?...

Here is more examples of just how messed up the graphics can get..

Edit: i run Ubuntu 10:10 if that helps..lol

Please, if anyone can help it would be very much apreciated..the lag and graphical issues are making it harder for me to log on...

EEK!! it may well be that the graphics card is on its last legs...but it runs everything else just fine.. and it has been doing this on regnum for around 5 months now :/
