Hi new to this forum and engine. Looking for an engine for my next project and was wondering what of the built in effects can I use to make shure you don´t need more than SM 2.0?

The HDR pipeline requires SM 3.0 level hardware since it uses floating point blending. I think the forward pipeline should work on SM 2.0 but that needs to be checked in practice.

As is, I doubt that most of the effects in the samples would run decently. Parallax shading in particular is used extensively, and is a bit too expensive for SM 2.0. You can implement your own shaders, of course.
