You will have to upgrade to a more recent video card so it will support the graphic inhancment option of pixel shadeing 1.0 or 2.0 better looking crisper graphics
Pixel shaders are a part of the graphics card. They are actual physical hardware. So you cannot add them to your PC unless you buy a graphics card.
Graphics cards typically support DirectX 10, have a number of pixel and vector shaders and also support OpenGL.
Visit the manufacturers website and view the technical specification for the card.
You don't count the pixel shaders. It's probably Pixel Shader 1.0 or nothing due to the horribly outdated graphics card you got.
a pixel shade support comes with a graphics card that should come with direct x 9
256 MB graphics card support pixel shader 3.0
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.
Vertex and pixel (or fragment) shaders are shaders that run on a graphics card, executed once for every vertex or pixel in a specified 3D mesh. They operate in the context of interactively rendering a 3D scene, usually using either the Direct3D or OpenGL API.
Man PX 3.0 Supports the 6 series , the 8500gt supports 4.0 pixel shaders
The nvidia geforce FX series and 6000 series & up all have support for at least 2.0. this is true but not for all geforce series. you would have to have a 2000 to 3000 power on your nvidia grapghic card.
Sadly it does not. It has no pixel shader at all. I am plagued by the same graphics card and cannot play team fortress 2 because of it. It is an outdated card and you should probably upgrade. However you can emulate pixel shaders if you have enough CPU but not enough cash to buy a new graphics card. But prepare to lag because even some of the best emulators don't go as fast as grapihics cards. Buying a new card is your best bet
