Windows Supported Video Cards

NVIDIA GeForce series

• FX 5900, FX 59506200, 6500, 6600, 68007200, 7300, 7600, 7800, 7900, 79508400, 8500, 8600, 88009300, 9400, 9500, 9600, 9800G100, GT 120, GT 130, GTS 150GTS 250, GTX 260, GTX 280, GTX 285, GTX 295

 

ATI Radeon™ series

• 9500, 9600, 9800X300, X600, X700, X800, X850X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900, X19502400, 2600, 29003450, 3650, 3850, 38704850, 4870

 

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA)

• GMA 3-Series, GMA 4-Series

 

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slower. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly.

Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants may default to settings that are higher than what would be optimal for them. Graphics settings can be lowered to improve performance.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.

MAC OS X Supported Video Cards

 

NVIDIA GeForce series

• 7300, 76008600, 88009400M, 9600M GTGT 120, GT 130

 

ATI Radeon™ series
