Members

	Member name	Description
	PS_1_1	Pixel shader version ps_1_1.
	PS_1_2	Pixel shader version ps_1_2.
	PS_1_3	Pixel shader version ps_1_3.
	PS_1_4	Pixel shader version ps_1_4.
	PS_2_0	Pixel shader version ps_2_0.
	PS_2_A	Pixel shader version ps_2_a.
	PS_2_B	Pixel shader version ps_2_b.
	PS_2_SW	Pixel software shader version ps_2_sw.
	PS_3_0	Pixel shader version ps_3_0.
	Unknown	Unknown pixel shader version.
	VS_1_1	Vertex shader version v_1_1.
	VS_2_0	Vertex shader version v_2_0.
	VS_2_A	Vertex shader version v_2_a.
	VS_2_SW	Vertex software shader version v_2_sw.
	VS_3_0	Vertex shader version vs_3_0.
	XPS_3_0	Xbox microcode assembly pixel shader version xps_3_0. Microcode assembly language supports a superset of the ps_3_0 and vs_3_0 specifications defined by Direct3D 9.0 for Windows. It does not support earlier Direct3D vertex and pixel shader specifications.
	XVS_3_0	Xbox microcode assembly vertex shader version xvs_3_0. Microcode assembly language supports a superset of the ps_3_0 and vs_3_0 specifications defined by Direct3D 9.0 for Windows. It does not support earlier Direct3D vertex and pixel shader specifications.

Remarks

These pixel shader versions identify the assembly-level shader model compilation target the HLSL compiler should use to express the final shader code. When shader compilation is completed at runtime, an application might query the using MaxVertexShaderProfile or MaxPixelShaderProfile to select a compilation target to match the capabilities of the graphics device.
