=== When Using Older Graphics Cards ===
=== When Using Older Graphics Cards ===
NVIDIA GeForce 400 series and newer, AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5000 series and newer, and Broadwell integrated GPUs (Intel HD Graphics 5300+) have the full suite of OpenGL and D3D features Dolphin needs for Bounding Box, a feature this game uses for many of its effects. Older GPUs (as well as all GPUs on macOS) lack these features, however in {{revision|5.0-2964}} a workaround was added to the OpenGL backend, though was removed in {{revision|5.0-9638}}. If you are using an older GPU on non-macOS computers, use OpenGL on a build before {{revision|5.0-9638}} to avoid glitches and broken effects. If you are using macOS, use Vulkan instead.

Note that other driver issues can also cause issues with bounding box emulation which will produce the same effect; changing the backend may also solve these.
