Color banding with Geforce 6800

Hi. I have a XFX Geforce 6800 GS/XT. I know it's seriously behind the times but I don't have intentions on upgrading it soon (not at least until I change my processor and that means a major update).

Now, the problem I have is with some games. I hace perceived some banding on the specular lighting in some games. It happens with Farcry and I know that activating SM 3.0 that problem dissapears. But I also get it with F.E.A.R. and since it doesn't has a SM 3.0 option I don't know how to get rid of it. If there something you can tell me to solve this problem? A drivers change maybe? I know it's not really a big deal, but it bothers me a little to see some those pixelated specular effects on some textures. I knew that this was a problem the FX line-up had compared to the 9800 from ATI, but I understood that it got solved with the 6800 series.

PD: BTW, pardon my english.
