Pixel shader 3.0 (and other variants) are hard-coded into the video card and its drivers. If you have a very fast processor and a good amount of ram, you may be able to get around the pixel shader requirement by downloading "3DAnalyze" or "Swiftshader 2.0" to emulate pixel shader.
More likely, the best option is for you to simply replace your video card with one which has native support for pixel shader.
Video cards with pixel shader 3.0 are very common these days, it is not an expensive upgrade & will improve performance on other programs as well.

It's generally slower than using the GPU, but still fast enough for a large range of casual games.
To play really demanding games that require Shader Model 3.0 support, you'll have no other option but to upgrade your graphics card though.

Does swiftshader give you pixel shader 3 0 I know its not a real one but can it emulate it My graphics card only supports pixel shader 2 0?
Yes, SwiftShader gives you Shader Model 3.0 support regardless of what your graphics hardware supports.
Where would you get pixel shader?
you must have graphics card that supports shader model
Where can you download pixel shader 3.0 for resident evil 5?
you cant you will have to buy a new graphics card that supports pixel shader 2.0,3.0
Download pixel shader 2.0?
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.
Does geforce4mx graphic card have pixel shader?
Yes, it supports upto Pixel Shader 3.0, so you can easily run Vista Ultimate Aero, and new games.
What pixel shader level does video card Nvidea GeForce 8400GS support?
It supports shader model 4.1
Does geforce 8400 gs support pixel shader 3.0?
I would say go for a better card xD but yeah supports pixel shader 3.0 and pixel shader 4.0 ^^ well that's according to nvidia's website.
Which video card supports pixel and vertex shader 1.1?
i want a program to add vertexshrader and pixel 1.1 to my driver .
How do you upgrade pixel shader?
Pixel shader technology is hard-coded into the video card and its drivers. If you have a very fast processor and a good amount of ram, you may be able to get around the pixel shader requirement by downloading "3DAnalyze" or "Swiftshader 2.0" to emulate pixel shader. More likely, the best option is for you to simply replace your video card with one which has native support for pixel shader.

Does ati radeon 9000 igp card have pixel shader 1.1 i lookd up the card and it says it has smart shader is that better than pixel shader the reason i ask is cause im tryn to play titan quest?
Radeon 9000 supports pixel shader 1.4 and lower. So you should be fine.
How can i upgrade my graphics card to support pixel shader 1.1?
Pixel shader technology is hard-coded into your video card and its drivers. While it is possible to emulate pixel shader using software like 3danalyze or swiftshader, doing so only shuffles the workload over to your CPU. Unless you have a hugely powerful system, emulating pixel shader will likely result in unacceptably low performance and/or system instability. Im afraid your best option is to simply replace your video card with one which has native support for pixel shader.
