I have Windows XP SP2 RC2 with an FX 5900 Ultra using the 61.36 drivers. I read that with an Nvidia driver of 61.34 or above and Direct X 9.0c pixel shader 3.0 can be used in games. What the article forgot to mention was, what cards can use pixel shader 3.0? If anyone knows what cards can use it, please let me know. I know for a fact that the FX 6800 has pixel shader 3.0, i just want to know if the FX 5900 ultra is able to use it.

I wish people would stop calling them 'FX 6800'. It is a completely different architecture. There is no FX in it.

Mensioned above, only the 6800 series has PS 3.0. The X800s do not.
