The following graphics cards and chips specifically support OpenGL 3.0/3.1/3.2/3.3 and should be considered the absolute minimum (note: actually support may be subject to driver availability, OpenGL 3.3 and system hardware support) Understandably what may be easily affordable and acquirable hardware for one person may not be for another. In this second part of the discussion on running Blender on older computers we take a look at upgrading incompatible computers and hardware cheaply and where it can generally be acquired.

This week we are also running a special discounted deal for new premium members.In first part of “ Will Blender run on older computers” the minimum requirements necessary to run Blender were discussed, namely the need for graphics hardware supporting and/or compatibility with OpenGL 3.3 or higher (largely as related to Windows OS computers), itself published c.2010.ĭesign note: It should be noted that Blender does cater to ‘legacy hardware’ to a degree in providing support for components and systems that are almost a decade old (based on OpenGL version supported), a very long time in technological terms. Premium also allows you to see these large articles all on a single page while being ad-free for less than $3 USD per month. More details on the next page, but before getting too far, consider joining Phoronix Premium if you wish to support all of the tests that happen under Linux and other alternative operating systems at Phoronix. So it's a fun line-up from NVIDIA's graphics cards from GeForce 8 hardware released in 2006 through all of the modern Maxwell graphics cards. The NVIDIA graphics cards that I had available for testing with this article included: Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit with the Linux 4.2 kernel and X.Org Server 1.17.2 was used for all of this benchmarking. For the GeForce GTX 400 "Fermi" graphics cards and newer, the latest NVIDIA 361.18 binary driver was used. The 340.96 legacy Linux driver is still maintained for compatibility with modern Linux distributions and was the driver used for the pre-Fermi graphics cards. With going back to the GeForce 8 series, there is OpenGL 3.3 support via the NVIDIA 340.96 legacy binary driver. However, the GeForce 6 hardware was left out for being too slow to compare to the modern NVIDIA GPUs, not being able to mode-set to 2560x1600, and only supporting OpenGL 2.1.

In fact, the testing went back all the way to the GeForce 6 series from 2004. With the NVIDIA comparison there are more graphics cards to test and thanks to NVIDIA's well-maintained legacy Linux drivers, it was easy going back and testing the older generations of GPUs. Last week I published an article looking at the OpenGL speed and perf-per-watt from the Radeon R600 GPUs through the R9 Fury while this article is the rough NVIDIA equivalent. If you are interested in how graphics card performance has evolved, this is a fun must-read article. Curious how the raw OpenGL performance and power efficiency has improved going back a decade to the GeForce 8 days? In this article is a 27-way graphics card comparison testing graphics cards from each generation going from the GeForce 8 series through the GeForce GTX 900 series and ending with the $999 GeForce GTX TITAN X.
