what shader version can your pc handle?

i know i've seen a few people mention their beasts, but i've seen way too many game developers on this forum with graphics cards so old that they do arithmetic by counting their fingers (if a graphics card had fingers).

ps: when choosing what shader model you'd want to support if you released a game right now, choose as if your game can only support one shader model. i want to see what people think the best balance between looking good and wide compatibility is.

shader model your pc supports: single choice
	4.0 - 4.1 (apparently there's a 4.1)
	3.0
	2.0 (includes a/b)
	1.1 (includes ps1.3/1.4)
