Your video card is not up to spec for SH5. Time to upgrade.

When the detection tool ran after installing SH5, didn't it not pass?

I have just information about low memmory on video card. I agree this card is old but i think is very good .I have 30 fps on maksimum graphics settings, it.s not bed

So what if you have 30fps, your card is not handling the water right. And yes the card's memory is to little. As I said, it's simply not up to spec.
It may have been good in it's day, but that day is far gone.

You posted asking what is wrong, and thats what's wrong, the card is too old, and memory too short to handle SH5's graphics engine.

I would try the legacy driver with that card. The Catalyst 9.3 or 9.1.

You could also try switching to low water quality & low textures quality in the graphics settings page. This might fix the problem to a certain degree.
