Graphics cards

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The purpose of this page is detailing compatibility issues that certain graphics cards have with Second Life. Note that officially, we only support what's listed on our System Requirements. However, we understand some Residents want to run SL on unsupported configurations — your results may vary, but hopefully sharing info will give you a better idea of what to expect.

Drivers

We highly recommend updating to the newest stable versions:

Help resources

  • Public Issue Tracker - We use this to help us identify bugs to be fixed. Search for terms like the model of your graphics card (e.g., "X1600" or "GeForce") or related keywords (e.g., "invisible AND avatar"). You can also report a new issue and discuss it with fellow Residents.

You can also contact our Support. Remember that specific details, and solid reproductions when there are bugs, help us help you.

Personal experiences

We're just getting this started, and hope to better organize this over time. If you're having problems, please list your:

Resident name:
System: (this includes graphics card info, copy-and-paste the info from Help menu > About Second Life)
Driver version: (on Windows, look for this in the Control Panel for your graphics card)
Other details: (e.g., Something that used to work broke recently? If you already reported this in the Issue Tracker, provide a link. If you know other Residents having the same problem as you, list their names and encourage them to post here)
