there are many questions on here that ask a similar question and to all these, Pixel shader 1.1 (and later variants) are hard-coded into the video card and its drivers and therefore cannot be downloaded. there are an unchangeable part of the card. the only way to upgrade them is to buy a new 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.


Does GeForce FX 5200 have Pixel Shader 1.1 or higher?

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Shader 3.0, but you keep getting an error saying you do not meet Pixel Shader 3.0, your version of DirectX may be out of date.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).

You cannot download Pixel Shader because your graphics card should already have and support it. If not, you will need a new graphics card which supports it.

Where do you get a pixel shader and how do you know what size you need?

Pixel shader is a technology included in many video cards which allows programs to render more realistic lighting in 3d visualizations. Many modern PC games require a certain amount of pixel-shader code within the video card. If you have such a game and it will not run due to a lack of a pixel shader, you will need to buy a new video card in order to play that game. In some circumstances, merely updating the drivers will suffice. However, it is much more likely that you will need a new video card. The number that follows pixel shading isn't a size, it is a version. Every version is backwards-compatible with all the previous versions, so the higher the better. Basically it breaks down like this. Pixel shader 1.1 = Supported by Geforce 3 and higher Pixel shader 1.3 = Geforce 4 and higher Pixel shader 1.4 = Radeon R200 & up Pixel shader 2.0 = Radeon R300 & up Pixel shader 2.0b = Radeon R420 and Geforce FX and up Pixel shader 3.0 = Radeon R520, Geforce 6 and 7 series Pixel shader 4.0 = Radeon R600, Geforce 8 and 9 series So if you had a geforce 7 series, you would be able to run any game which required pixel shader 1.1 thru 3.0 but not a game which required 4.0 Most of the modern games out there right now are requiring 3.0 at the most, it is not difficult to find a video card which has this for under $100.


To download pixel shader 2.0 before you can play on the sims 3 is there anyway you can play on it without downloading the pixel sahder 2.0 first?

I believe you need a Video card that will support pixel shader 2.0.
