YES!, this new card will work (once properly set-up under linux). I triple checked the new k600 card actually has a dual-link DVI and it has. So, no problem linking it to the VG278HR. It is listed "windows only" because it lacks the 3-pin

I second everything Jeroen said except the need for a €450 graphics card. We have a Quadro 600, which was only £105 or something like that. The slightly cheaper Quadro 400 would have worked as well. There are now successors to these cards. Unless something has changed in their

The quadro 600 or k600 works fine, been using it for more than a year with that Asus with the built in emitter. In fact the absolute oldest and cheapest option which works is the quadro 370, but you'll want the 600 at least. On Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 9:19 AM, mesters

Hi Il, assuming that you work under Linux, be sure to get a Quadro 4000 with a 3-pin stereo connector (this is 'optional' according to Nvidia). The System will then work with the '3D vision System'. All compatible monitors like AcervGD235HZ or ASUS VG236H are listed on the 3D Vision
