@subsection overview_req_graphics Graphic cards
For 3d viewer, graphic card or software implementation supporting OpenGL 1.1
or above is required. OpenGL 2.1+ is highly recommended.
For ray tracing, hardware implementation of OpenCL 1.1+ is required.
The following table lists graphic cards tested to work with OCCT.
