Nope - quad-buffer stereo support is built-in in the basic driver, both for Linux and Windows. However, the option is enabled only for the Quadro cards. The extra drivers are for "consumer stereo" as nVidia calls it - this enables a kind-of page-sequential stereo on regular GeForce cards which lack the extra sync connector. It will use one of the pins on the VGA connector instead. It works with some cheap VR goggles, such as the eMagin Z800 Visor and some shutter glasses. Good advice: stay away from this junk - these drivers are not maintained, incredibly buggy, they work only with certain (usually very ancient) version of the Forceware suite and there is no Linux support. Moreover, applications written for standard quad-buffer stereo will *not work* with these. It is not worth the trouble. > Don't know if there is an equivalent on ATI. There isn't - if your high-end FireGL card has the stereo sync output you should be able to enable stereo in the driver configuration. However, I am not sure whether ATI/AMD actually manufactures any cards with stereo support anymore. E.g. many laptop cards are marked FireGL but they lack any stereo capability.
