hey guys. I bought Brink yesterday trough steam. I left it to download at home that I could play it when I returned home from work.
I expected that it would be running like a dream on my rig... But the wild error appeared!!!

Can any1 see from this what seems to be the problem...
What I kno Radeon 5700 series should be able to run OpenGL 3.1 or newer.
I have the newest driver as I am aware.

Thank you in advance.

do you have the latest drivers? thats usually the issue with this error.

does that card only have 512 megs of memory? thats pretty low by todays standards.

unfortunately ATI performance for many is poor as ATI drivers for opengl seem to svck bigtime.

also, do you really want hyperthreading disabled?
