Using the default shader implementation with the DX9 renderer the user needs SM3.0 support (NVidia GForce 6.600 and ATI 9.600 and higher versions video cards). If for some reason the user needs to have it running on a lower graphics specification then it can rip off the default shader implementation (or implement one of its own) and keep only the things he really needs and have it running on SM2.0 or even lower shader requirement. When using DX10 renderer though the user needs to have a DX10 graphic card.
