How you increase shader model?
You buy a new video card with a higher shader model then the one you have you can update that shader is determinant by your gpu and video ram
Where can you get a free shader 2 model update?
Update to the latest version of DirectX.However:Unless your video card currently supports Shader Model 2, on the hardware level, the video card will not be able to process Shader Model 2's instructions.You will need to use a Shader model 2 capable card, this is a card which accelerates DirectX 9.0A.(nVidia started with Shader Model 2 cards with its 5000 series and above)(ATI Started with its SM2 cards with their Radeon 9000 series)
Where do you get a directx shader model 1.1?
A Pixel Shader is not something that can be downloaded. It is a feature of the hardware on your video card. If your video card does not contain the hardware for this Pixel Shader, then you must purchase a new video card.
What pixel shader level does video card Nvidea GeForce 8400GS support?
It supports shader model 4.1
Where can you buy a video card that supports shader model 2.0?
Nvidia 8000 series supports shader model 4.0 & directX 10 DirectX 9 comes with shader model 3.0 Heres where you can buy one. A store that sells NEW video cards. Since we are now on DirectX 11 shader model 5 I think. ANY video card made with the past 3 years or so.
Any time I want to play the Sims 3 I get an error message saying your video card doesn't support Shader Model 2 what can I do without buying a new video card?
well it means your video card won't work with the sims 3, the only solution is to get a new video card that will support Shader Model 2.
What are the Pixel Shader versions for video cards and how do I know which cards support them?
* Any video card supporting DirectX 8.0 or higher has Pixel Shader 1.1. * Any video card supporting DirectX 8.1 or higher has Pixel Shader 1.3/1.4 & Vertex Shader 1.1 * Any video card supporting DirectX 9.0 or higher has Pixel Shader 2.0. * As of DirectX 9.0c there is support for Pixel Shader 3.0. * For Vista only, video cards supporting Direct3D 10 have Pixel Shader 4.0. You can upgrade your Pixel Shader version by buying a video card with the appropriate support for the versions of DirectX listed above. The related links will provide you with the information as to which video card supports which version of DirectX so you can make an intelligent choice for your purchase. DirectX/Pixel Shader support is not something you can upgrade on the video card, you must purchase a new one to upgrade it. If your video card is listed as having support for DirectX version 9.0c/Pixel Shader 3.0, but you keep getting an error saying you do not meet Pixel Shader 3.0, your version of DirectX may be out of date. You can update your DirectX version (and should have it updated regardless of what your video card can support, due to bug fixes and other changes) to the newest one. You can find the newest version at the link below for Microsoft's download site (Windows XP/Server 2003 or lower) or through Windows Update (Microsoft Update).
Where can i get shader model 3.0 or a video card that supports it please help..?
I know a card that has a pixel shader 4.0. It's also only $99.99. It's called the nvidia 9800. Hoping this is handy.
Where would you get pixel shader?

How do you upgrade your vertex and pixel shader?
buy a new video cardAnswer:A vertex shader is a graphics processing function used to add special effects to objects in a 3D environment. It's built into the firmware of the GPU itself and cannot be downloaded
Does IntelR 82945G Express Chipset Family graphic card have a shader model 1.1 or higher if yes then how to enable it?
The 82945G Express Chipset is not a graphics card, it is a motherboard chipset. Your motherboard may have an onboard video card, but this is not it. However, a motherboard which uses the 82945G chipset should be perfectly capable of supporting a video card which has pixel shader 1.1 & higher.
Can a game requiring Pixel Shader 1.1 be used on DirectX 9.0c?
DirectX doesnt have nearly as much to do with this as your video card. Pixel shader technology is hard-coded into your video card and its drivers. No matter what version of directX you are running, if your video card doesnt have pixel shader, your system will not be able to run any games requiring it.
