1 GB of RAM and a video card or on-board video that supports the DirectX 9 graphics standard and has at least 128 MB of graphics memory.
Having the software is not enough, check to see if your graphics card supports that version of directx
yes
A DirectX 9 or better graphics card is required to use the Aero Glass interface.
yes...the minimum is: 128mb directX compliant video card with pixel shader 2.0 and above, 512 MB ram, DirectX 9.0c or higher
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.
Graphics cards connect to the computer only through the connectors present on the motherboard so an external graphics card is unfortunately not an option. You can always switch your video card entirely, but be sure to check if the motherboard you have supports it.
If you have a graphics card that supports HDMI you can of course connect the PS3 to that card. Will it work at all? most likely not. why not
A graphics card that supports DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 2.0 or higher is required.. You can't "get it to work" if you don't have this. You also need .Net 3.5 and XNA framework which you can download.
Graphics cards typically support DirectX 10, have a number of pixel and vector shaders and also support OpenGL.
Technically yes, although the performance is quite bad.
Graphics hardware acceleration requires a DirectX 9.0c graphics card with 64 MB or more video memory.
