Hi CCP4ers
I know I am churning over a well discussed subject but:
We have been trying to figure out the best way to use our NuVision
graphics glasses on the OPTIPLEX 755 Dell.
Turns out the graphics card (NVIDIA FX 3700) is not compatible with
this type of computer due to size issues.
Can anyone recommend the type of glasses and or if it is possible to
use them for 3D viewing ?O and Coot- on an Apple?
Or does anyone know of an alternative glass/card I could use on the
OPTIPLEX 755?
Thanks in advance
Gina
I assume you have a small form factor chassis for your Optiplex 755. If
so, there are not many (any?) stereo-compatible graphics cards that do
not require a full-size PCI-express slot. Given the cost of an NVIDIA
FX-3700 graphics card, it might be cheaper to build the computer around
the card. Any reasonable dual-core computer with a full-size chassis and
a PCI-express slot should work well. You will also need a CRT monitor to
get stereo output.
It used to be cheaper to get stereo graphics. I have old Nvidia Quadro
980XGLs ($500) in a single-core Pentium 4 workstation and they work
pretty well still. You can still find them around, but they require an
AGP slot not common on current motherboards.
Cheers,
