I've had success with the Quadro 4 cards (PNY 750XGL) and OpenGL J3D. The Quadro supports OpenGL quad-buffered stereo directly and therefore doesn't require any driver patching.

I have been working with J3D stereo image for at least two years. When I use Geforce II Max card and patch the nv4_mini.sys file with a SoftQuadro program, the stereo images are rendered correctly. However, you know the GeForce II is already obsolete. I have to explore the availability of GeForce 4. But I have not got it working yet. Could anyone who has a successful experience of running J3D stereo image please give us some information about what cards can be used for J3D STEREO IMAGE? If there is a trick (such as patching nv4_mini.sys), please also tell me. Hi, it has been a long pain about the graphic card with J3D stereo. How can we expect a solution of it? Thank you a lot! G.B.
