Shader 3 compatibility?

Sounds like your computer has an integrated video card and the game is looking for an extended graphics card. This type of card plugs into the motherboard via the AGP, PCI, or PCIE slots. Depending on the type of video card and computer, you may need to upgrade the power supply when you put the card in. If this is a laptop there is no good way to upgrade the video card.

Hope this was helpful

The shader 3 mode is a inbuilt option that is designed within the graphic cards (i.e. intergrated or slotted cards). This function usually use for high graphics gaming for PCs. You cannot upgrade the Graphic card to get this Shader 3 options for your Laptop. The best options you can do is to update the drivers & DirectX to the latest for your laptop "ATI Radeon™ 3100 Graphics" intergrated graphic card.

Hope it helps.

All latest PC games requires shader model 3 graphics card. Actually juiced 2 is a high graphic oriented game requiring shader model 3. So, you must upgrade the video memory by adding a latest graphics card with shader model 3.Graphic card like,
Nvidia 6600 and higher has shader model 3.0 ATI x1xxx or higher has shader model 3.0 some X800 were also shader model 3.0.
Before you buy any new graphic card you need to discover which card your motherboard supports.
Good luck!!!

If you get this message it means the video card in the laptop is not compatible with the game, probably because it is too old. A shader is a set of software instructions used to calculate rendering effects on graphics hardware. Most modern graphics hardware is compatible with shader model 3.

Direct X 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.is what the manufacturers web site says
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
[for the game]
* Windows XP SP3, Vista SP1
* Intel Core2 Duo 2.0GHz or equivalent processor
* 2GB RAM
* 8GB free hard disk space
* 8x DVD-ROM Drive
* DirectX 9.0c compatible video card. 256MB Pixel Shader 3.0 (NVIDIA GeForce 7900 or AMD/ATI Radeon HD2400 or better)
* DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card
* DirectX 9.0c or higher (included on Disc)
* Multiplayer: TCP/IP Broadband Internet connection
* Windows compatible USB Gamepad
* 1280 x 720 monitor resolution

where can i get a "GPU Shader 2.0?"

you need a new graphics card, shaders are a hardware limitation.
you can try to update the card http://www.pcpitstop.com/drivers/download/NVIDIA~GeForce~9500~GT.html i hope this helps you and please vote for me

Uh oh. It looks like you're out of luck.

FIFA 09 PC Requirement (minimum):
Graphics: 6600 Nvidia graphics card or ATI equivalent with support for Pixel Shader 3
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c"

Nvidia 6600 came out at 2004 and it supports DirectX 9.0C (Shader 3 came with 9.0C)
ATI Radeon 9200 came out at 2003 and only support DirectX 8.1 (which support shader 1.2 - 1.4)

Nope, Radeon 9200 will not support Shader 3 (neither will it support 2.0).

Time for a new video card maybe?

I hope this answers your question.

Don't think you can with that video card.

1. Operating system: Windows XP/ Vista
2. Processor: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon X2
3. Memory: 1GB RAM (2GB for Vista)
4. Free disk space: 10GB
5. Video card: Shader Model 3.0 and 256MB RAM (nVidia GeForce 6800 GT/ATI Radeon X1600)
6. Sound card: DirectX 9.0c compatible

The Geforce 5500 does not support Shader Model 3.0
You would have to get atleast a Geforce 6 Series for that Shader model.

Hi there,

The EA website says the minimum requirements are:

• Video: DirectX 9.0c compatible video card with 128 MB or more memory, Pixel Shader 3.0 support, and one of these chipsets is required:
  • ATI Radeon X1300 Pro or greater
  • NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT or greater
    • Note: NVIDIA 6800XT/LE, 7100GS, 7200GS/LE, 7300 GS/GT are not supported
  • Note: NVIDIA SLI and ATI Crossfire modes are NOT supported, and may have a negative effect on gameplay. In addition, ifyou have an NVIDIA SLI or ATI Crossfire setup, we recommend you do notuse the 'Force Split Frame Rendering' option. This option has beenshown to have a negative effect on performance.

Chances are your card doesn't support pixel shader 3.0. So either upgrade the card to the NVidia 6600 or you can use an emulator like this:

or

But for all the fuss of trying you'll still be better of getting one of the latest graphics cards compatible with pixel shader 3 or higher. Although, do bare in mind that you will need to find a graphics card compatible with your motherboard. This is why many people are now opting to use consoles for gaming to avoid all these 'unknown' requirements.
All the best in your endeavours.

when you bought a game you just see a label of a cd's they have a system requirements ..if the system requirements of a game is compatible to your computer then you buy that one.if the game is higher requirements than your pc...so i suggest to buy a higher video card and memory to maximize the system requirements of a game....
