What's the rest of your computer like? It's entirely possible that the integrated graphics are better than a 1GB GT 710, which is a really horrible graphics card. I've used 1GB graphics cards in SL and they've worked okay, but they've all been considerably better than that version of the 710.

Social distancing and limiting the number of customers in the store has turned Wal-Mart into a pretty nice place to shop if I have to go. So there is an upside. Too bad I'm not leaving the house very much to enjoy it.
On the other hand, I drove past Lowe's Saturday, and that place was packed. I can understand going if you need something for an emergency home repair or something, but to get that Spring Black Friday deal on mulch? What the hell is wrong with people? There have only been a few cases around here, but there had to be some asymptomatic induhviduals there, and by next weekend, I expect the number of infections to skyrocket, and they're all going to be traced back there.
Attention Lowe's shoppers:

Try clearing your texture cache and restarting the viewer. I don’t know if the settings affect anything already in your cache or not. Starting out clean may help.

If you use Firestorm, make the following changes in the graphics settings:
Hardware Settings: check Enable Lossy Texture compression
Antialiasing: 2x
Texture buffer memory: As high as it will go (I think 768MB)
Rendering: check Restrict maximum texture resolution to 512px

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's America continues its transformation into international pariah and global "selfish and xenophobic old man on porch muttering about foreigners."
In 1940, when Britain and the Commonwealth (including Canada) stood alone against the Axis Powers, FDR's America stood up to be counted, and threw its industrial and economic power behind its most important international allies and friends, via the Lend-Lease Act.
80 years later, "allies" and "friends" of the US are in some peril of becoming endangered species.
He'd send them to North Korea, if they ever have a case of covid-19.

SL in 4K on an AMD GPU sounds like a recipe for disappointment.

the problem with putting arbitrary hardware limits like 1060 minimum, is that this can become a perennial. This year 1060. next year 2060, year after 3060, year after that 4060 and so on. For me to justify the cost of this kind of ever increasing upgrade cycle then I need a RL reason to do it, not just a SL reason
Don’t worry, at the rate Linen Lab updates their recommended system specs, if they put the GTX 1060 on it this year, it will still be there when the GTX 8060 is released.

And if a healthy proportion of current users shrug and say, "I'm not going to do that," they'll be lost to the platform, and the fact that they were being unreasonable ain't going to fix the dent in the bottom line.
Violate the laws of physics or we'll stop not spending money for your product!

Absolutely; SL has often been at least at the back of my mind when I purchased a new computer. Again, though, some -- probably many -- don't think this way. Maybe they should -- but if they don't, are you willing to shrug them off and lose them?
No, but I don't think expecting minimal effort or investment in SL is asking too much.

I'm sure not.
Which kinda makes my point for me: an awfully large proportion of the SL user base is comprised of people who are not gamers (and many of whom don't even know what Steam is).
Regardless of whether or not one considers SL a game or not, it is not a game like, I dunno, Fallout or Skyrim or Bloodborn, if only because it attracts a large body of people who would never play games like that.
Non-gamers seem to have unrealistic expectations of what terrible laptops should be capable of. I'm not much of a gamer myself, but that hasn't stopped me from buying hardware that's at least somewhat fit for purpose.

I gotta know, do people go onto the Steam forums and complain that Doom Eternal won't run on their Chromebooks, or is this a Second Life thing? Second Life isn't even that hard to run. It doesn't have the DirectX 11 or 12 requirements of modern games, so you can run it on ridiculously old, and now very cheap hardware.

I realized at age eight that things don’t just appear out of nothing. I figured everyone knew that but pretended they didn’t. I still think that.
My congratulations to eight year old you for disproving the existence of the universe. Well done.

i Don’t think people understand that for whatever reason, it is scientifically and logically impossible for the universe to exist.
The fact that the universe does appear to exist suggests that it is scientifically possible.

You presumably don’t believe, so you can answer why not as well as anyone.
I think that would come down to standards of evidence. Why is belief in God, or let's be generous, any god, a choice and not subject to the same standards?
