hi. I just built a new gaming pc today for the first time, and when i go to load my game, it says "ERROR 10010
Unable to initiate graphics device.A graphics card with at least Shader Model 3.0 is required to run the game." Why is this? I have an r9 280x graphics card and it should work fine. I have heard of downloading drivers, but i can not find them so links to drivers would be a great help! The game is Heros and Generals and i got it off steam/ Please help me this is so annoying!

Is your screen plugged into your GPU or your motherboard?
