this is what I found:

Pixel Shader is a hardware capability. Therefore, it is not possible to download it - it must be supported by the graphics card.

To answer your question directly, you will need to install a graphics card that supports Pixel Shaders to be able to run games which need it. Most modern games utilize Pixel Shader 2.0 or greater, so it would not be advisable to purchase older ones.

The following cards support Shader Model 1.x:

- ATI Radeon 85xx Series (1.4)

- ATI Radeon 9000 Series (1.4)

- ATI Radeon 9100 Series (1.4)

- ATI Radeon 92xx Series (1.4)

- NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti (1.1)

- NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti (1.3)

The following cards support Shader Model 2.0:

- ATI Radeon 95xx Series

- ATI Radeon 96xx Series

- ATI Radeon 9700 Series

- ATI Radeon 9800 Series

- ATI Radeon X7xx Series (2.0b)

- ATI Radeon X8xx Series (2.0b)

- NVIDIA GeForceFX Series (2.0a)

The following cards support Shader Model 3.0:

- ATI Radeon X1x00 Series

- NVIDIA GeForce 6 Series

- NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series
