Hello,

My Graphics Card is a ASUS DC2T 7970 and supports Pixel and Vertex Shader 5.1 but all the system info software such as GPU-Z and more shows off it supports only 5.0.

Is this a driver problem or a software fault?


Thx

Nothing mentioned on Asus web site about any new shader SM5.1 features - where did you see this advertised?
Source - here

Nothing about SM5.1 in the TPU database here

Edit: Looking here maybe a future release of DirectX

Edit: more info on the M$ devs web site

Hi

I saw 5.1 was supported on a Dutch compare site. I've reported that already. Thx for the tip!
I thought for a moment that I was missing out on SM5.1, good to see it was a typo on a compare site:toast:
