The only users that will have significant issues are notebook users whose systems may need to be replaced entirely for compatibility with Blender 2.8. In all instances, whilst older graphics hardware may be difficult to find, when it is it can generally be picked up for comparatively little ($10 USD), desktop graphics cards being the easiest to find, MXM boards less so. Costs again may be as little as pick-up-in-person or covering postage.

are an issue, look through the вЂwantвЂ™ ads of the local newspaper for peopleВ similarly wanting to get rid of old graphics cards. Local Newspapers: If internet access, distance etc.

Marketplaces: To buy old graphics cards the best place to startВ is eBayВ (localised as, ebay.ca, ebay.esВ etc.) and/or other online marketplaces like Facebook MarketplaceВ or Craigslist,В whereВ used computer hardware is soldВ вЂ“ when buyingВ itвЂ™s best to use вЂtrustedвЂ™ (re)sellers where possible as purchases made through them are usually protected to some degree (where service is offered).ДЇorums/Social Media: Still online, look through forums, social media groups or other places where members might post about old hardware they want shot of, in many cases this can be picked up free (collect in person) or for cost of postage. Obviously upgrading notebooks (generally not upgradable),В mobile workstations ( upgradeable through MXM Type A or B modules/boards)В and all forms of desktop PCs will differ depending on system capability, upgradeability and hardware availability, and may also require other component upgrades for proper functionality, larger power supplies for example.

ATI Radeon HD/MobilityВ Radeon 2000, 3000, 4000 series graphics cards/on-board chips.The following graphics cards and chips specifically support OpenGL 3.0/3.1/3.2/3.3 and should be considered the absolute minimum (note: actually support may be subject to driver availability, OpenGL 3.3 and system hardware support) Understandably what may be easily affordable and acquirable hardware for one personВ may not be for another. In this second part of the discussion on running Blender on older computers we take a look at upgrading incompatible computers and hardwareВ cheaply and where it can generally be acquired.

In first part ofВ вЂњ Will Blender run on older computersвЂќ the minimum requirements necessary to runВ Blender were discussed, namely theВ need for graphics hardware supportingВ and/or compatibility with OpenGL 3.3 or higher (largely as related to Windows OS computers), itself published c.2010.Дesign note: It should be noted that Blender does cater to вЂlegacy hardwareвЂ™ to aВ degree in providing support for components and systems that are almost a decade old (based on OpenGL version supported), a very long time in technological terms.
