+## System Requirements
 
 openpilot doesn't have any extreme hardware requirements, however CARLA is very resource-intensive and may not run smoothly on your system. For this case, we have a low quality mode you can activate by running:
 ```
 ./start_openpilot_docker.sh --low_quality
 ```
+NOTE: [CARLA requires](https://carla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build_docker/) an NVIDIA graphics card.
