i own the cruddiest video card of them all (geforce 4 MX) and i cant get specular or shadows to work. I know these rely on pixel and vertex shaders. Both of these have to have a non fixed function card to work so how come when i run 3dmark does vertex work but not pixel? Halo looks crap without these features . is there a way to get them to work without having 2 splash out on a new grafics card?

i think there is a way but it would probably be cheaper to get a new grafics card
i think there are programs or something that give better pixel and vertex shader but u probably have to pay
id say it would be much easier for a new card
