[QGIS-Developer] 3D view bare minimum requirements

[Alexandre Neto]

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your answer.

He uses windows (not sure the version) and has an ATI FireGL V graphic
card, which he wasn't able to say the correct version.

I have checked, and the most recent card of that model is from 2009, and
the most recent driver from 2015... So it's a quite old setup.

Given that OpenGL is a requirement, do you think we should add that to the
documentation both in the 3D viewer part and the working with point cloud
data?

Thanks,

Alex
