Actually that particular API is of little use. You can control the same settings with it that you have in the nVidia control panel, but no rendering is done through it. So you can set up things like eye separation or control the fans of your GPU, but that is all you can do with it. Furthermore, the documentation of that API is really bad :( Your program still has to use Direct3D for rendering if you want to benefit from the drivers - enabling stereo using NVAPI will do nothing with OpenGL rendering, because the driver will not modify the camera matrices for you as it does for Direct3D (which has no support for stereo of its own). So, unless NVIDIA decides to make a stereo-capable OpenGL driver for their non-Quadro cards (extremely unlikely), this is not going to help you one iota.
