shader programs

Post by broshow449 »

I know I am probably going to get yelled at but....How do I get the "use shader programs" to work and not say "not detected"??

Thanks

Buying a new graphics card is the only way unfortunately

Well, I assuming its a laptop because the gpu is 'mobile'? Probably not much you can do. Well, cheap and easily anyways.

Its just that buying a graphics card and getting it installed will cost alot of money. It will also void your warranty I think

Yeah pretty much

Changing any parts in a laptop is extremely expensive considering the gains you will get. It is also only possible on some laptops and the parts available is very limited. Unfortunately unless you spend a fortune laptops aren't really designed for the huge task of running high end graphics.
