[QGIS-Developer] QGIS 3D and Graphics Card Requirements

[Martin Dobias]

Hey Luke

Low end graphics cards should work fine as well. If your coworker could not
run 3D on his laptop, it could have been some other problem - it would be
good to have more details (hardware spec, operating system, in what way
things did not work) so that we can fix such issues. For example, my laptop
has 2GB of GPU memory and things work just fine. So both of the suggested
graphics cards should give you much more power for QGIS 3D than you would
normally need.

Cheers
Martin
