 ## Requirements
 
-*OpenGL1*
-The OpenGL1 driver needs a graphics card that at least implements the OpenGL 1.1 feature spec.
+### OpenGL1 ###
+To run this driver, your videocard needs to at least support the OpenGL 1.1 spec.
+**Shaders**: Since OpenGL 1.x has no shader capabilities whatsoever, it is not possible 
+to use shaders with this driver.
+**Menu driver support**: MaterialUI, XMB, Ozone and RGUI should all work correctly.
+XMB won't have shader pipeline effects because of the aforementioned lack of shader
+support.
 
-*OpenGL2*
-The OpenGL2 driver needs a graphics card that at least implements the OpenGL 2.1 feature spec.
+### OpenGL2 ###
+To run this driver, your videocard needs to at least support the OpenGL 2.1 spec.
+***Shaders:*** You can choose between either NVIDIA Cg shaders (deprecated, requires separate runtime
+to be installed on your system), or GLSL shaders.
+***Menu driver support:*** MaterialUI, XMB, Ozone and RGUI should all work correctly.
 
-*Direct3D 11*
-The Direct3D11 driver needs a graphics card that supports at least Feature Model 11.0. The card
+### OpenGL3 ###
+To run this driver, your videocard needs to at least support the OpenGL 3.2 core feature spec.
+***Shaders:*** You will be able to use modern Slang shaders with this driver.
+***Menu driver support:*** MaterialUI, XMB, Ozone and RGUI should all work correctly.
+
+### Direct3D 11 ###
+The Direct3D11 driver needs a graphics card that supports at least Feature Level 11.0. The card
 also needs to support at least Shader Model 4.0.
+***Shaders:*** You will be able to use modern Slang shaders with this driver.
+***Menu driver support:*** MaterialUI, XMB, Ozone and RGUI should all work correctly.
