This is extremely irritating to me. I started off with a NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go 64M that had 64.0 MB video RAM, Video Card 3D Acceleration, Video HW Transform & Lighting, Vertex Shader Ver 1.1, and lastly Pixel Shader Ver 0.0 - in other words, it doesn't support pixel shaders...
As you might be able to see, this isn't spectacularly astonishing to play games with, especially since many games today require both vertex and pixel shaders. So, in hopes that I might be able to maximize the potential of my graphics card, I downloaded the newest video card driver from HP - since it's a HP Pavilion I have. To my great dismal, I noticed only one difference with the graphic card, that the vertex shader Ver 1.1 was now ver 0.0. Is that even possible? Anyways, is there anyway I can reverse this somehow, as in get that vertex shader back to 1.1 again? Any help would be truly apprieciated. ~~~ “Every path has its puddleâ€

System Restore?
Wait...shouldn't you be downloading new drivers from the nVidia website? This post has been edited by Jeff: Sep 25 2006, 02:34 PM |

No, because graphic cards on laptops are specialized for laptops, and the driver updates found on the nVidia site are universal standard PC driver updates. So I had to download my driver update from HP's website.
