Dear CCP4 Community: Happy Holidays!
Sorry for bringing up this old topic again. However after some recent struggle with rather poor crystals and my deteriorating eye sights, I have decided I need a couple 3D capable (cheap) workstations in lab. After reviewing previous posts and the two web-pages suggested by Folmer, I understand that active stereo is still the preferred method, just like many years ago with CRT, emitters and expensive quadro cards. However, since I cannot just buy and tryout hardware, I have the following questions: 1. Will any high refresh rate LCD work? The ones suggested in the guide and by Jeroen are either unavailable or expensive. 2. High end 3-pin Quadro card are a bit out of reach at the moment, can I just use consumer grade Geforce with NV3D vision 2? The most expensive ones I have are a few GTX 460, 950, 750Ti (I even have an ancient FX1400 but the guide says it doesn't work). Of course I can buy better GTX cards if needed as long as I don't have to buy quadros--they are really expensive and hard to find here. 3. Is there a cheap option to enable 3D under linux or OSX? I do prefer OSX but I can live with any OS as long as I get 3D to work with coot. Thank you so much for your time.
