HI,

Curently I have Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family onboard graphic card, using operating system windows 7. Finding on the internet this graphic card has pixel shader. But when i start a game ex FSX it doesn't find the pixel shader. What can I do for the programs to find the pixel shader?

Hello,

Does this issue occur with all games, or just some? My first suggestion is to check the game vendor's site to see if there are options to enable this feature for different platforms.

However, the game may require other CPU and GPU capabilities in order to take advantage of the shader hardware, and your system may not provide the minimum required. In other words, it's not just the existence of shader support in the GPU that matters, as other system or graphics capabilities may be needed for the game to use the GPU's shader.

By the way, here's a pointer to the graphics guide for your chipset. This should list the full capabilities of your chipset, and may help if you contact the game vendor.

Hopefully this helps...

Regards,

Neal
