Advanced Shaders On or Off?

[stevo1988]

I noticed that with advanced shaders ON...i get a lil bit of artifacts where the headlights are white squares with circles in them

When i turn OFF advanced shaders...everything looks perfect...what are the differences between having them ON or OFF

What version of Shader Model does DRIV3R use?
I have an X800XTPE by the way

I have no clue what the shader version is (wish I knew..), but they make the lighting on vehicles and objects much better. The artifacts are there because there's some bugs with ATi cards and the most obvious ones haven't been fixed by any of the retail update patches. I'll take some screenshots to show you the difference.
