TIP: Many machines (especially laptops) include what is called an 'integrated graphics adapter', the necessary component in a computer to display images on your screen. These machines, while economical, often share memory with the CPU and are designed more for power saving than for performance, with their drivers often barely, or very poorly, supporting standards necessary to Modo.
Many issues in Modo can be traced to the graphics adapters and their drivers. The Foundry highly recommends the use of a discreet graphics adapter (often branded by AMD or Nvidia) for the best overall user experience.
