A DirectX 9-compatible video card is required for 3D hardware acceleration. The following chipsets are recommended:

NVidia GeForce 5200 FX or higher

The above video cards are inexpensive and will greatly improve the speed and appearance of the 3D graphics. If your video card does not meet the requirements for hardware acceleration, then software emulation will be used automatically.
