Re: [ccp4bb] Coot and Pymol 3D in Quadro M4000 Graphics Card under Windows 10
Hi All, I summarized my Coot and Pymol 3D experience here. Monitor is from Asus 24 or 27 inch 3D monitor. Monitor works with Nvidia 3D kit. Refresh rate set 120 HZ. Please first download and install Nvidia 3D kit driver and Asus monitor driver and install first when working with Windows 7 or 10 (you can find drivers from official website). Even after install drivers, 3D is not automatically working in Windows, you need to follow http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~lohkamp/coot/wincoot-faq.html#mozTocId906434 and do some settings. 1. Windows 7 with Quadro M4000, Display port (DP) on PC to DP on Monitor, Works very stable with Coot and Pymol. No 3-D mini DIN cable needed. 2. Window 7 with Quadro 5000, DVI-D dual link on PC to DVI-D dual link on Monitor. Works very stable with Coot and Pymol. No 3-D mini DIN cable needed. 3. Fedora 24 with Quadro 5000, DVI-D dual link on PC to DVI-D dual link on Monitor. Works very stable with Coot and Pymol. 3-D mini DIN cable is needed in this case. Do not dnf update kernel, as most of the time you have to re-install Nvidia driver again after kernel updated. 4. Ubuntu Mate with Quadro 5000, DVI-D dual link on PC to DVI-D dual link on Monitor. Works very stable with Coot and Pymol. 3-D mini DIN cable is needed in this case. In Ubuntu Mate, the installation of Nvidia driver can be automatically fetch by the system (install proprietary driver), no need to type command as in Fedora. 5. Windows 10 with Quadro M4000, Display port (DP) on PC to DP on Monitor, Works with Pymol 3D but Not Coot in my case. No 3-D mini DIN cable needed. Not stable even with Pymol 3D, I need to reset every parameter after update and reset refresh rate to 120hz.. This is the worst option in my case! Because Win10 keeps giving us problem I switch back to Win7 and everything works great!

Re: [ccp4bb] Coot and Pymol 3D in Quadro M4000 Graphics Card under Windows 10
Hi All, Just share my experience, Windows 10 works for pymol 3D under Quadro M4000 with Nvidia 3D kit (no need to connect the 3 pin MINI DIN, Quadro M4000 does not have 3 pin Mini DIN connections). I use Asus 24 inch 3D monitor, connect the monitor with display port to display port of Quadro M4000, no active DP to DVI needed in my case. We have a problem for Coot 3D works even when Pymol 3D works ok, we are trying to figure out the problem but Windows 10 does work for pymol 3D under DP to DP port.

Re: [ccp4bb] Coot and Pymol 3D in Quadro M4000 Graphics Card under Windows 10
Xiao, I had a direct connection from display port to display port that had worked for several years (Windows 7). Since last year I have been losing the stereo. Often the control panel won’t show the 120 Hz like what you saw. Sometimes I was able to forcefully add a 120 Hz resolution (using the “Customize …” menu). But it was not stable, i.e. the stereo would stay for some time then disappear and go back to the state of not having 120 Hz. I have not had time to investigate further into this but I suspect a driver issue here. You may want to check the drivers for both the graphics card and the monitor.

Re: [ccp4bb] Coot and Pymol 3D in Quadro M4000 Graphics Card under Windows 10
Hi Xiao, did you try manually changing the Hz in the nvidia system control panel? It is somewhere under Resolution-> adapt (or something like that, sorry, I don't have an english version). There you can change the frequency. If it doesn't work and you only see a black screen, the system switches back to the previous setting. So what I am saying is: Maybe the system does not recognize its 144hz ability. For me, that war the case about a year ago.

Re: [ccp4bb] Coot and Pymol 3D in Quadro M4000 Graphics Card under Windows 10
Hi Xiao, I can confirm you need to buy an active adapter if you want to convert the display port on the graphics card to DVI. The one that they supply with the graphics card is passive and won't work. I was in the same boat about a year ago. I bought a USB powered active adapter which allowed 120htz. My monitor only had DVI input so I didn't try a direct display port connection. I can't comment on why that didn't work.

Re: [ccp4bb] Coot and Pymol 3D in Quadro M4000 Graphics Card under Windows 10
Dear Taka, Thank you for the information! For the active converter from DP to DVI, is it something like StarTech.com DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter ( https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DP2DVIS-DisplayPort-Active-Adapter/dp/B004SUO1GM) ?

Dear Xiao, You need an active converter from DP to DVI. You can't get 120Hz if you use a passive converter, even with a DVI dual link cable. If you used an adapter come with the board, it's probably passive.

[ccp4bb] Coot and Pymol 3D in Quadro M4000 Graphics Card under Windows 10
Dear All, I tried to make Coot and Pymol 3D working for a HP Workstation with Quadro M4000 graphics card, the card has four displayport. I also has a Asus 24 inch 3D monitor. I tried to connect the graphics card with the monitor through displayport to displayport connection and displayport to DVI-D dual link connection but failed to set the monitor run on 120Hz. It seems I have to follow the old way of using DVI-D dual link connection for both graphic card and monitor, but the problem is that the graphics card does not have a DVI-D dual link socket, it only have displayport. I appreciate any suggestions.
