What would be a cheap video card that would run shaders?

A Geforce G210 is very cheap (~$30ish) but it won't run shaders without the frame rate being under 5 on max with a build of only 9000 bricks. If you want a fast, quality graphics card, your going to have to pay plenty more. Since people want fast graphics, graphics cards tend to be a decently large part of a computer build money wise.

That's complete garbage.
Let's clear this up for op:
Video cards costs hundreds of dollars.

AMD 6670 is pretty good I believe, this card is $70 though.

If you want a fast video card, get a GTX 760. I'm sure that card would run shaders fine. (It's ~$220 at the time of this post) "You get what you pay for" pretty much applies for most video cards until the upper tiers of cards, where cards tend to be less cost effective.
