Things like Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader are not software. It is more like a bit of hardware that is built into your graphics card. So no, it is not a downloadable thing.
You cannot download any type of vertex shader version. It is built in your Mother Board of your computer.
You can't download movies from Netflix.
If you have an onboard graphics card it wont have it..so you find it on normal graphics card that are not on the motherboard..any graphics card can support vertex shader so buy one
* 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Shader 3.0, but you keep getting an error saying you do not meet Pixel Shader 3.0, your version of DirectX may be out of date.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).
you would ned a new graphics card to do that with shader 3.0 support if you don't already have it
Since the release of DirectX 8.0 graphics cards have used programs/instructions known as Shader Models to help interpret instructions on how to render graphics sent from the CPU to the graphic card. Many games are increasingly listing Shader Model versions in their system requirements.However these shader versions are tied to the version of DirectX that you have installed on your PC which is then in turn tied to your graphics card. This can make it difficult to determine if your system can handle a certain shader model or not.To determine the version of DirectX you have running:1. Click on the Start menu, then "Run".2. In the "Run" box type "dxdiag" (without the quotes) and click "Ok". This will open up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.3. In the System tab, listed under the "System Information" heading you should see a "DirectX Version" listed.4. Match your DirectX version with the Shader version listed below.Once you've determined the version of DirectX running on your PC you can use the below chart to determine what Shader Model version is supported.Please note DirectX versions prior to DirectX 8.0 do not support shader models• DirectX 8.0 - Shader Model 1.0 & 1.1• DirectX 8.0a - Shader Model 1.3• DirectX 8.1 - Shader Model 1.4• DirectX 9.0 - Shader Model 2.0• DirectX 9.0a - Shader Model 2.0a• DirectX 9.0b - Shader Model 2.0b• DirectX 9.0c - Shader Model 3.0• DirectX 10.0* - Shader Model 4.0• DirectX 10.1* - Shader Model 4.1• DirectX 11.0* - Shader Model 5.0*DirectX 10.0 and higher will not run in Windows XPOne recommendation prior to installing a newer version of DirectX is to ensure that your graphics card supports that version of DirectX.
it has pixel shader 4.0 but that can only be used if you are running vista so under xp only 3.0
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.
No!
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.
You need to upgrade your graphics card to something capable of running this software. (any ATI or nVidia card made after 2002 should have Pixel Shader 2, it will be written on the box) If you're trying to run it on a laptop then you are probably out of luck as they're not upgradable.
there isnt any pixel shader 3.0 emulator...qq
