* A 3D video card, with support for [[OpenGL]] 1.2 or better (OpenGL 2.0 is preferred) and at least 128-256 MB video RAM. Flightgear requires a hardware accelerated 3D video card with OpenGL drivers to run at reasonable frame-rates. Most modern PCs have hardware accelerated 3D cards. If your FlightGear video is not running smoothly, see [[Configuring OpenGL]]. See [[Supported Video Cards]]) for a list of video cards known to work with FlightGear. Note that cards with working shader support will enable FlightGear to run with more visual effects.
