If you are getting this error, then please update your DirectX, Graphics and. If you still have to box the card came in, it may also say on the back of the box.įarming Simulator 2013 has a minimum requirement of Shader Model 3.0, so if you do not meet that requirement you will get the error message 'ERROR: Does not support Shader Model 3.0'. The best way to tell which version of Shader Model is supported on your graphics card is to visit the manufacturer's website and inspect the specifications of your card. You can still only play games that support up to Shader Model 2.0 So if your graphics card only supports up to version 2.0, and you have DirectX 10.0 installed. Please remember that your version of Shader Model doesn't just rely on DirectX, but also the hardware version of your graphics card.

*DirectX 10.0 and higher will not run in Windows XP Please note DirectX versions prior to DirectX 8.0 do not support shader models It is important to always have your DirectX updated to the latest version you can do so by clicking on the DirectX link at the bottom !!! The version of shader model your computer can support is based in the combination between your DirectX version and the version your graphics card can support. Shader Models are components used to help render graphics sent from the CPU to the graphic card.
