Answer 1

A pixel shader serves to manipulate a pixel, usually to apply an effect on an image, for example; realism, bump mapping, shadows, and explosion effects. It is a graphics function that calculates effects on a per-pixel basis. Depending on resolution, an excess of 2 million pixels may need to be rendered, lit, shaded, and colored for each frame.

Man all the games ur trying to play are High Graphics needed games so naturally u need high Pixel and Verical Shader Capacity nearly 2.5 and above (For Smooth rendering ) !!!

Above from wat u said its clear that u dont have much developed graphics card !!! ("I cant play them cause they all say I dont have 2.0 pixel shader")

There are no solutions u can use to fix this !!!
The only thing u can do is better Buy new Graphics Cards !!!
And Nvidia is a nice company !!!
At their 8 series cards are latest !!!
Which has DirectX 10 man !!!

Pixel shaders come from your videocard. When you look up a video cards specs it will usually list what pixel shader version it supports.

Answer 3

repsect.....? when people demand respect, guess what!they won't get it. people earn respect in my book.

ah pixel shaders are great
they allow for layered visual effects in the game.
its a set of instructions IN the video card.
the newer your card the higher the #
If I were you I'd aim for a new card with pixel shader 4.0
(if you have a pci express slot on your mother board)

check here for info on PS #s

then when you find a workable card from the table, check your prices here
