HLSL Shader Model version is tied to your CPU and not your GPU. Shader Model 6 was added to Windows 10 I believe about 5 years ago and helps with multithreading of shaders on feature level 12+ hardware. This is one of the many reasons that modern games are starting to require Win10 and not support 7 and 8.1, and not just because of DirectX or otherwise. Older CPUs in the Kepler and first gen Maxwell category only support 5 and older. Older GPUs will also only support shader 5 and older. In the end though, it's a feature-function of the CPU, and GPUs come with support for the most current version to exist when they were produced. Shader model 6.0 support does not exist until the 1000 series of NVIDIA cards, and the 5000+ series for ATI cards.

TLDR: A shader model 5 card will always be a shader model 5 card. It will work with any CPU that supports Shader model 5, 6, or newer as they are backward compatible. It just means that the shaders will not support multithreading and thus the performance benefits you get from a multicore CPU when processing shaders.

All the Geforce cards from the 420 to the 900 are HLSL Shader Model 5.0 support.

The GTX550 is lower then the recommended min requirements for FS22. FS19 is an older game and as such has lower requirements. Always read specs before buying a game.

You could just refund the game and it's cost would cover you stream-playing the game via GeforceNOW. Assuming you have decent internet.

If it isn't on there yet it's confirmed by Nvidia as going to be added.

ive got a 1060ti and got still the error with Shader 6.0, just go to you Game folder - > game.xml and search for <renderer>D3D_12</renderer> write it to <renderer>D3D_11</renderer> and a bit lower by controls from false to true.
Now my game works just fine
