ATI Radeon X1200 Series I thought ran Shader 3.0?

[Iceman8204]

I thought the ATI X1200 was compatible with Sader 3.0? I'm trying to play skyrim and it's giving me problems saying it does not support 3.0. Any insight is appriciated, thanks.

and under DirrectX support there will be an SM number, which is the shader model number.

I think it is only Shader 2.0, but you may want to check.

Even if you got that to run on a x1200, you don't want to. http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Radeon-Xpress-X1200.3775.0.html
It's a 4 yr old video card that was not good with games when new.

And it's Shader 2

DirectX: DirectX 9, Shader 2.0
