-== General considerations ==
+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.
-!!! Note: Legacy '''integrated 3D GPUs or video cards using less than 512MB of dedicated video memory for 3D graphics should be avoided''' for any high-end 3D simulations or hardcore gaming !!!
+Please help maintain this list so that fellow FlightGear users can more easily make hardware decisions.

-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, with at least 1024MB being recommended as of 08/2012.
-Basically, you should be fine with any Nvidia or AMD/ATI products having 512-1024MB 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, especially Intel-based graphics card (GMA).
