thief 3 claims i have a pixel shader version of 1.4 on my 9600xt. is this normal, i thought even previous gen cards had 2.0 support?
Yes it shows up as 1.4, even with the 9800Pro/XT series, maybe its a detection bug or anything above 2.0 is shown as 1.4, so i dont think it should matter.
I stand by my previous statement. The game does not use PS2.0, therefore it will detect only PS1.4 and below (even my card shows as PS1.4 and not 3.0).
