p vs z garden warfare - very poor graphics

downloaded the 3 day trial of p vs z.  Screen resolution set to highest level - but once you start game play, the screen flickers and very little to not existent graphics content appears.  Is this a graphics card issue or poor server connection etc???

    Here are the requirements for the game whose forum you misused to post this off-topic question.  Make the comparison to the game's OWN freely available requirements, and you will know: 

    Simcity 2013 Requirements

    Operating Systems:
    SimCity will run on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
    CPU:
    Intel C2D E4400, 2 GHz, or AMD X2 4000
    Video Card:
    Geforce 7800 GT or Radeon HD 2600 XT with 512 MB VRAM
    ***NOTE: each of the above-mentioned must also have Shader 3.0 or better support, and it is essential to the game’s performance and stability that the latest possible drivers for your video card are installed at all times (see my note#).
    2 GBs RAM
    Direct3D Dx9
    Needed space on HDD 10 GB
    Optical Drive:
    DVD-ROM drive required.

    Internet Connection:
    Players will need an Internet connection of at least 256 kbps download and 64kbps upload or faster.

    Here's that Note# :

    The equivalent to those minimums they named for playable results today: Geforce GT 640 and Radeon HD 6570.

    Since cards' names are practically meaningless without a score sheet, the Geforce 205, 210, 215, 305, 310, 315, 430, 510, 515, 520, 610, 615, and 620 are all below the Geforce 640.  The GT 630 is a fence-sitter, not recommended (to be fully complete, all of the Geforce 6n00s, any 7600 - downward, 8500 -downward, 9400-downward, are below minimum).  The Radeon X1550, HD 2400, HD 3450, HD 3470, HD 4350, HD 4550, and HD 5450 are all below the 6570.  The HD 6450 may be a fence sitter, however, I don't believe it is actually quite that good.  The HP card that Hewlett Packard sold as an HD "7450" was just a 6450 all over again, and there will be an OEM-only "8450" that is still the same, just renamed.

    You had not responded, nor had you reported your post for its off-topic content, in the lower left of your messaage, the link to "Inappropriate Content".   (A couple of days after this followup, one of the forum admins moved the thread.  I hope than means you read my replies and no longer need help from AHQ).
