This article is a stub. You can help the wiki by expanding it.

This is meant to become a list of those video cards that are known to frequently cause issues trying to run FlightGear due to having insufficient capabilities or driver support to properly run FlightGear, please feel free to help maintain this page by adding new entries or updating existing ones'.

When building a new system or buying hardware for a computer that is specifically intended to run FlightGear, it seems like a good idea to avoid these cards and instead check out Hardware Recommendations or more specifically Supported Video Cards.

Please note that even if you have one of these models, you may still be able to run FlightGear by disabling certain features, please check the forums for advice. So, if you manage to run FlightGear with any of the cards listed here, please do feel free to update this page and preferably also list any relevant customizations or configuration settings that need to be applied.
