To do this, you need to know who manufactured the graphics processing unit (GPU) on your graphics hardware typically this will be either NVIDIA or AMD/ATI as these are the two major players in the 3D gaming market, but you may instead have a graphics solution from Intel, or others.

In this case, you may need to update your graphics card driver.

If you see very poor performance while running openBVE, perhaps the game's 3D output is being rendered via software emulation rather than being accelerated via the hardware - maybe because you're still using the graphics card drivers which were bundled with Windows rather than the fully fledged drivers from the manufacturer's website. openBVE uses OpenGL (along with popular games like Doom 3 or Unreal Tournament, simulations like X-Plane, or applications like Google Earth), therefore you need to ensure that your graphics card drivers include OpenGL support. To get good framerates with openBVE, as with any other 3D game, you need hardware 3D acceleration. Next we shall check that you have up-to-date graphics drivers installed for best performance/frame rates, and image quality.
