This is meant to become 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]]. Please help maintain this list so that fellow FlightGear users can more easily make hardware decisions. | This is meant to become 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]].

When buying or updating a graphics card for a computer system, | When buying or updating a graphics card for a computer system, over 512MB of dedicated video memory (i.e. VRAM) is preferred for advanced 3D gaming. | ||
Basically, you should be fine with any Intel, Nvidia or AMD/ATI products having 256MB-512MB of *dedicated* video memory for 3D graphics. However, you need to take into account that some of the newer features in FlightGear may not work as expected or may not even work altogether with older hardware. | Basically, you should be fine with any Intel, Nvidia or AMD/ATI products having 256MB-512MB of *dedicated* video memory for 3D graphics.
