Is a Vertex Shader the same thing as a Pixel Shader?

A vertex shader operates on vertices, thus it will form part of the rotation, and translation steps in rendering, which can include texturing as well. A pixel shader will calculate the colour for a particular pixel, and thus is situated further down the rendering pipeline.

ATI Radeon Xpress 200 support pixel shader 2.0?

I just checked my graphics card (i have the same 1) and yes, pixel shader 2.0 is supported. For some reason though, I have a game that I'm trying to play that says "failed to compile and create pixel shader" and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it...

Does Radeon 7500 have pixel shader 2.0?

No,and sadly i have the same graphics card...but somehow it does support 3.0 though? i think 3.0 is just 2.0 for cards not supporting 2.0 sooo.... yeah some 3.0 stuff might show up black and pink in squares on some stuff.


Can Devil May Cry 4 run on 3d analyzer?

I think no it cannot be played i have tried it also many times but each time its says that - ERR06:UNSUPPORTED Pixel shader version detected 2.0. when i select : skip pixel shader version 2.0,1.4,1.1.it says the same thing.i have also selected emulate pixel shader caps and hw tnl caps and of course set the vendor id to 4098 and device id to 20040 but it did not work. i have also selected all the things in 3d analyzer except force windowed mod but it did not work.


Can Pixel Shader 2.0 run on Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100?

When looking at Pixel Shader, you want to look at which version of DirectX the card supports: DirectX | Shader Model supported 7.0 | None 8.1 | 1.4 9.0 | 2.0 9.0c | 3.0 10 | 4.0 Information taken from http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/132


How can run splinter cell double agent salam i want play this game but my pixel shader is 2 and this game need 3 pixel shader can i upgrade my graphic card XFX 128 5200 Thanks Ya Zahra?

I have the same problem with medal of honor airborne - I have a powerful x850xtpe pixel shader 2.0 card, and airborne needs shader 3 support. So far the only thing I have found is something called 3danalyzer, which hasn't been updated since 2004. Maverick near the bottom of this forum page: http://www.avirtualexit.com/2007/08/27/medal-of-honor-airborne-supported-video-cards/ says that he can get use 3danalyzer to past the "card not supported" message that appears for any video card, and get the demo to run. The big question is: even if the 3danalyzer gets the game or demo to run, will the game look halfway decent on a shader 2 graphics board?


Are vertex and side same thing?

Not exactly because for example two sides of a polygon meet at a vertex which is singular for vertices.


Does Geforce4 mx420 have or support pixel shader 1.1?

Sadly it does not. It has no pixel shader at all. I am plagued by the same graphics card and cannot play team fortress 2 because of it. It is an outdated card and you should probably upgrade. However you can emulate pixel shaders if you have enough CPU but not enough cash to buy a new graphics card. But prepare to lag because even some of the best emulators don't go as fast as grapihics cards. Buying a new card is your best bet


How many vertices and angle does decagon have?

A vertex is the same as an angle. A decagon has 10.A vertex is the same as an angle. A decagon has 10.A vertex is the same as an angle. A decagon has 10.A vertex is the same as an angle. A decagon has 10.


Is median and the altitude of a triangle the same?

The median is a line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite line and an altitude is a line from a vertex to the opposite line which is perpendicular to the line. These are NOT the same thing in most triangles. The only time they could be the same is in an equilateral triangle.


How do I play Team Fortress 2 with a radeon 9000 it says that I need pixel shader 1-1 to play it - can play empire earth 2 and it requires it as well using a laptop so cant get a new GPU?

1st make sure all your video drivers are installed -right-click "my computer" -click the "hardware" tab -click "device manager" -if you find any "unknown devices" install the drivers for them otherwise it isn't a driver problem 2nd check if you have the latest direct X version 3rd as a last resort download and use 3d analyze (if you find the correct combination to emulate the pixel shader 1.1 tell me because I have almost the same problem, the difference is that my graphics card doesn't support pixel shader 1.1 so I have to emulate it)
