You could check the nVidia page of officially supported displays. It includes a search tab so you can check for "Built-in Emitter."
http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html

Performing that search brings up 5 contenders. Good luck finding any of these products still for sale.

Thank you for assembling all that information about NVidia 3D vision 2 on Linux.

Is there a good list somewhere with monitors that have a built-in emitter and are confirmed to work under Linux? I looked at the list at http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/?cat=monlcd19wide&xf=5848_3D-f%E4hig+%28aktiv%29#xf_top and it seems that a lot of manufacturers are marketing their monitors as 3D Vision2 ready or 3D capable just because they support running at 120 Hz, even if they don't have a built-in emitter.

Best,
Andreas

Sorry to come late into the discussion, and just to mention: it would be wrong if readers of CCP4BB get the impression that "Quadro cards that support quad buffered stereo" have to be high-end. To the contrary, an entry-class Quadro K620 together with a €250 Nvidia 3D Vision 2 compatible monitor (with built-in emitter) gives you very nice stereo on Linux. There is more info at http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Stereo#Nvidia_3D_Vision_2 .

To have higher resolution than 1920x1080 you may need some combination of higher-end monitor and (separate) emitter, and that would indeed require a 3-pin DIN connector and an expensive Quadro card. Also, an expensive Quadro is of course faster - but entry cards are, in contrast to popular belief, fast enough for crystallographic electron density + model inspection and modelling.

In summary, the computer gamers have been supporting us crystallographers to the point that Stereo is quite affordable.

Colleagues,

I’d like to thank everyone who took time to answer my question regarding Quadro cards that support quad buffered stereo. I now hope to build a workstation with >Quadro 5000.
