When updating your graphics card drivers, it is important that you use the software that is specifically designed for your graphics card. Most manufacturers let you download the latest graphics card driver software free of charge from their websites, and this should include OpenGL drivers. You can’t get OpenGL drivers separately: it has to be supported by your graphics card drivers. Most problems viewing 3D graphics, including performance issues, are caused by having no OpenGL drivers installed for your computer’s graphics card. The graphics card is a piece of hardware – already inside your computer – which handles the display, and the drivers are the software programs that it runs when doing this. However, you’ll need to make sure that you have the correct graphics card drivers to be installed on your computer.
This is an industry standard, and is already available on most computers. We use a system called OpenGL for our 3D graphics.
