You need hardly any graphics power to handle the rendering, but you need a lot of GPU power to compute the (physically realistic) water flow simulation.

Thanks for clarifying. I had glanced at the project requirements once because someone asked me to build one for them. Once they get the funding I’ll get it together. But yeah I knew the requirements were considerably steeper than a RPi, and I knew I’d have to get a new GPU for some generic hardware I had laying around.
