An OpenGL accelerated video board is not required, but is a big plus.
Internet access is required to use this software.
Supported Video Boards
Vue 8 Complete now includes an automatic configuration tool that will set all OpenGL options just after install, for optimized previewing on your video board / driver.
The following boards/chips will perform using the new Shader engine:

|
Windows only |

Windows only. May display some minor glitches (2) |
(1) Requires a Vue 9 build superior to 9005724. Resizing editors, or really heavy scenes may generate some instability.
(2) Support for Shaded Billboards on Windows requires a Vue 9 build superior to 9005724.
(3) Warning! Do not install Nvidia Drivers 270.61. These drivers weren't certified with Vue and may present severe OpenGL issues!
Other boards (such as the nVidia GeForce 210/220/240, 300 and 300M series, 6000 and 7000 series...) may not perform using the Shader engine, but will perform using the older fixed-pipeline one.
Older boards such as Voodoo, Rage Pro, Radeon 8000 up until Geforce FX chips included, all Intel video boards, and all unrecognized boards will run in software OpenGL mode only.
Due to recent changes in the Mac OS 10.6 OpenGL implementation, which resulted in a massive slowdown of OpenGL intensive applications, Shaded Billboards are not supported at all on Mac.
In any case, Vue can perform in software OpenGL regardless of the video board.Boards that are not on this list may work with Vue, but haven't been extensively tested. If you run into any OpenGL issues, try disabling background draw and antialiasing in the Options panel. Worst case scenario: you can always run Vue in software OpenGL mode.
Warning: Laptops using Nvidia's Optimus or ATI's BinaryGFX technologies may present severe OpenGl problems. We recommend that users deactivate this option when running Vue! |

Chips we do not recommend:
- All ATI Radeon prior to 4000 series.
- ATI 9000 series, X series, and HD series might work, but with fewer options, and you may experience severe slowdowns.
- ATI FireGL 5000 series.
- Intel-based GPUs and nVidia 7300 board will not work with Vue (with hw acceleration).
