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.
It supports shader model 4.1
you must have graphics card that supports shader model
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)
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.
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
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.
Riot reccomends a DirectX 9.0 capable video card that supports Shader 2.0
first of all, bad grammar! Yes, geforce 256 mb supports pixel shader 2.0. I'm talking about nVidia Geforce g 105m 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.
I recently (Nov 2008) purchased a GeForce 7600 (which supports pixel shader 3.0) 512mb AGP card for $120. Note: you can get pixel shader 3.0 cards for less by going to a card which has less video ram or whatnot, this particular card happened to have the right cost/benefit balance for my needs.
Yes, SwiftShader gives you Shader Model 3.0 support regardless of what your graphics hardware supports.
i want a program to add vertexshrader and pixel 1.1 to my driver .
