Updating my vid card to support shaders

My current video card doesn’t support shaders, it’s an ATI Catalyst, and my question is whether or not I can use drivers, or something else, to update it to the point where it can support shaders?

Thanks,
Grei J.

since shader are hardware you need to upgrade your hardware to get some.
there are a few (very few) cards which do have a shader emulation but they should work with the normal drivers.
guess you cant do too much.
looks like WINE has some limited support for emulated shaders but it’s linux only and i guess it’s pretty slow.

buy a new gra-card. you should be able to get cars with shadersupport for very few money.

If you’re looking for medium graphic card, ATI 6600 will be sufficient.
Moreover, it’s just around $60.
