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Shader 3.0, but you keep getting an error saying you do not meet Pixel Shader 3.0, your version of DirectX may be out of date.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).
DirectX 8.1 is old and unsupported. You would be better served by upgrading your directX.
