This page is meant to provide a list of those video cards that are known to have good OpenGL support to run the latest versions of FlightGear, based on contents taken from Hardware Recommendations. Note that this doesn't mean that with all of these cards you can run FlightGear with details and effects at the maximum level, but only that, if they're powerful enough, they could.

Please help maintain this list so that fellow FlightGear users can more easily make hardware decisions.

For Linux and *nix users

Please specify if you're using "free" implementations of drivers.
