Best Answer

Pixel shader technology is hard-coded into the video card and its drivers. If you have a very fast processor and a good amount of ram, you may be able to get around the pixel shader requirement by downloading "3DAnalyze" or "Swiftshader 2.0" to emulate pixel shader.

More likely, the best option is for you to simply replace your video card with one which has native support for pixel shader.

Video cards with pixel shader 3.0 are very common these days, it is not an expensive upgrade & will improve performance on other programs as well.

It is not possible, since pixel shader 2 is hardwared into the card. You would not be able to upgrade without changing a graphics card.


Can you download Pixel Shader 2 or higher?

No, the Pixel Shader version describes the capability of your hardware. If you're getting that error from a game you will probably need to upgrade your video card. There is a way though to use software emulation but its best if you have the actual hardware that uses pixel shader.

How can i upgrade my graphics card to support pixel shader 1.1?

Pixel shader technology is hard-coded into your video card and its drivers. While it is possible to emulate pixel shader using software like 3danalyze or swiftshader, doing so only shuffles the workload over to your CPU. Unless you have a hugely powerful system, emulating pixel shader will likely result in unacceptably low performance and/or system instability. Im afraid your best option is to simply replace your video card with one which has native support for pixel shader.
