We generally have good experiences with recent NVIDIA or ATI cards. OpenGL
7-
mode should work with all drivers that use an OpenGL specification >=
8-
2.0. Drivers implementing an older OpenGL specification (>= 1.4) should work
9-
when the 'GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two' extension is present.

On some some integrated Intel cards syncing to the vertical retrace does not seem
12-
to work with the default settings! In those cases, please try using OpenGL set to
13-
"vsync / alternative blocking" (``control.defaults.open_gl=3``).

Here are some configurations we observed to work:

While Expyriment will run on all video cards, not all configurations seem

to support accurate reports of stimulus presentation times when using the
8+
(default) OpenGL mode with blocking (``control.defaults.opengl=2``; see
9+
also notes below).

Here are some configurations we observed to work as expected:

* Apple MacBook Pro 2013 (OS X 10.10; using alternative blocking!)

* Apple MacBook Pro 2013 (OS X 10.10; newer MacOS versions do NOT seem to work!)
26+
* Dell XPS 15 9560 (Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2; Intel HD Graphics 630)
27+
* Raspberry Pi 4 (Raspberry Pi OS, Wayland; slight reporting inaccuracy of 1ms on average)

**We recommend to always use the Expyriment test suite to check the

performance of your specific configuration!**
