Zero basics all shader types support shader model 5. 0 vertex shader outer skin shader domain shader angles shader pixel shader some. Shader model 5. Zero andcompute shadernick thibieroz. Virtualbox has shader model support since early versions. I downloaded the opengl audience software to check away video card settings. This are the resus.

• Feb 24, 2014  The card might be able to support pixel shader 5.1 but you have to use DX11.1 for games to use it. So far the only OS that uses the DX11.1 API is Windows 8.
• Note DirectX versions prior to DirectX 8.0 do not support shader models. The DirectX versions detailed here start with DirectX version 8.0. DirectX versions prior to version 8.0 were released primarily in support of Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000.
• Pixel Shader model version is not software, it is a spec that is hard-cored into your GPU. You can't change it. Just like what your GPU ultimately supports for DirectX/OpenGL.

I have a video card that has version 4.1 and the game recommends 5.0, but says at minimum 3.0...

How will these two aspects of the video card impact the overall performance of the game?

Will there be any noticeable effect at all or will I just have to scale down the graphics?

The differences between Shader Model 4.1 and 5.0 are almost entirely on the side of ease of use for the programmer, with a secondary benefit for performance. You probably will never notice a visual difference.

As Tom's Hardware puts it in their look into Shader Model 5 (emphasis mine):

So the code is all in a single place, which makes bug correction easier. At the same time, legibility doesn’t suffer thanks to the organization of the code, which resembles the concept of virtual functions in object-oriented languages. This feature will be welcomed by programmers, but won’t have any real impact for gamers.

Essentially, programmers can now write more efficient code, with better organisation, and that brings fewer bugs, better testability, and consequently the possibility of (marginally) better performance. (Of course, if they still have to support SM 4.1, that may nullify the improvements in testability and fewer bugs, because they actually have to write more code, for each version of the Shader Model – but that's another story...)
