JavaFX 3D on older GPUs

[Joseph Andresen]

Your card is not supported by prism. You can check if a system supports 3d by using the isSupported method (can't remember where .. Maybe in application). I know ensemble does this and instantiates a parallel camera if 3d is not supported.

As for why it isn't supported, there are a lot of reasons that lead to a card not being supported, usually it fails to meet one of our minimal requirements.
