Pixel shader comparison Pixel shader version Note that games may claim to require a certain DirectX version, but don't necessarily require a GPU conforming to the full specification of that version, as developers can use a higher DirectX API version to target lower-Direct3D-spec hardware for instance DirectX 9 exposes features of DirectX7-level hardware that DirectX7 did not, targeting their fixed-function T&L pipeline. Manufacturers generally support all lower shader models through drivers. GPUs listed are the hardware that first supported the given specifications.
