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Shader 3.0, but you keep getting an error saying you do not meet Pixel Shader 3.0, your version of DirectX may be out of date.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