Hi andras, MoI itself is not very sensitive to the particular brand of card that you use - partly that's because MoI is based on Direct3D and implements a lot of its graphics pipeline within its own code, rather than being dependent on the video driver to do various things like curve antialiasing.

One of the problems with OpenGL is that many graphics card vendors purposely cripple their "low end" gaming oriented cards when it comes to their OpenGL drivers, to force people to purchase their "workstation" cards to get better quality drivers, even though in many cases the gaming cards and the workstation cards are actually the same hardware...

So anyway, it's just one of the things that has been incorporated into MoI's planning from early on, MoI has very modest graphics cards requirements and should run fine on any of those cards that you list, it's not particularly sensitive about it.

Other programs that use OpenGL do tend to be much more sensitive about the particular card's specific feature set and drivers, so you will probably want to look more to the other programs' requirements and suggestions to guide your choice.
