This chart: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_11761.html combined with the CCP4 wiki's advice (that the card should say "stereo" under display connectors) imply that we need to spend at least $760 on the video card alone. Is that really true??? EEK!! Not nesessarily. Most GeForce cards can be s

Phoebe, Donning my "business hat" for a moment, I believe CRT-based stereo 3D has now evolved into an extreme low-volume market with highly inelastic demand and little credible competition (ATI's Linux drivers fail on traditional "immediate mode" OpenGL code used in most molecular viewer). In

Sorry, still need help with this well-trodden territory: We're badly in need of a new linux PC with stereo and I'm confused about graphics cards. We want to recycle the CRT monitor, NuVision emitter and glasses from an old increasingly unstable machine. This chart: http://www.nvidia.com/object/
