Up-to-date graphics card problem?

I installed this program and once I opened the program and it told me I needed to update my graphics card. So I found out how to update the card but it said that the card is up-to-date. What? How am I supposed to update it, if it's already up-to-date?!

    What card do you have, what OS, and how did you update the driver?

    While your driver for your graphics card may be up to date, the card itself may be too old to use with the software. Newer software use newer versions of things like OpenGL and other graphics support API's. If your card is older it may not be able to run newer software. Iray, one of the two render engines in DAZ Studio can only use nVidia graphic cards and generally ones that are only a few years old. The other render engine, 3Delight and the viewport can use any brand card, but they must support more recent versions of OpenGL.

    Your card may be too old. However, like the post above if you tell us what your computer is (Gaphics card, OS, etc.) we could help you better.
