Pixel Shader 2.x

[Anonymous]

i noticed in GTA3 and in GTA Vice City there is no suprising graphics... but i heard of a rumor that Grand Theft Auto San Andreas will have PS 1.x and PS 2.x these are Pixel Shaders meaning the game will obviuosly look better... so would that mean people will have to have a modern graphics card (ie. FX5200 and higher or Radeon 9700 and higher)?

Pixel shading is on slightly older cards, such as the GeForce Ti series, and the 9200's. If pixel shading is in the game, yes you will most likely need a card tht supports it. It's already becoming a standard in games, the latest Splinter Cell for example, won't run without it.
