Ways in which graphics can be used?

Vector and bitmap graphics.

Bitmap (or raster) images are stored as a series of tiny dots called pixels. Each pixel is actually a very small square that is assigned a color, and then arranged in a pattern to form the image. When you zoom in on a bitmap image you can see the individual pixels that make up that image. Bitmap graphics can be edited by erasing or changing the color of individual pixels using a program such as Adobe Photoshop.

Unlike bitmaps, vector images are not based on pixel patterns, but instead use mathematical formulas to draw lines and curves that can be combined to create an image from geometric objects such as circles and polygons. Vector images are edited by manipulating the lines and curves that make up the image using a program such as Adobe Illustrator.

Download pixel shader 3.0?

Shader Model 3.0 support can be implemented either in software or hardware. In the case of a software implementation, you can download it. One example of a software graphics implementation that supports Shader Model 3.0 level capabilities is SwiftShader.

For hardware support, which is generally faster, you can't download it. It's a feature of the hardware itself so you'll need to upgrade your graphics card if you current one doesn't support it.

What is the most powerful graphics card?

The nvidia geforce 8800gtx has been superseeded by the nVidia 9800GX2 as the most powerful graphics card (March 2008). It is two 9800GTX's sandwiched together with a single heatsink in the middle. This in turn makes this a very hot GPU and requires good case cooling. It is also very, very expensive.

Yes, there's AMD cards too, but i don't know them as well. Your corner component store should know, though.
