sorry, small correction, it should read "or a "new, see details" Quadro
5000with build-in*3-pin**.*"

Hi,
yes, consumer cards do have OpenGL implemented on a chip but the
Nvidia driver did not allow OpenGL 3D to work until February 2013. As
of Nvidia driver version 314.07, Nvidia added OpenGL quad buffered 3D
Stereo for GeForce cards (at least under MS Windows 7/8). However,
this was never officially announced and officially supported and only
works if the monitor is preset to run at 120 Hz and the software
automatically switches into full-screen mode. Sadly, windowed
applications will not work. Under MS Windows 10, it does not seem to
work anymore.
We have a monitor with a build in emitter and that one works with the
smaller/cheaper Quadro cards without the 3-pin connector but, it is
virtually impossible nowadays to get such a monitor in order to avoid
needing to buy an expensive Nvidia card with a 3-pin connector.
To enjoy OpenGL quad buffered 3D Stereo, you will at least need a
Quadro K4000/P4000/4000 with separate 3-pin bracket (all-in-all very
expensive solution) or you will need to buy an older FX model such as
the FX3700 with build-in 3-pin connector.
At the Bay in the USA, unused / brand-new FX3700s are being offered
right now for about 90-110 US$. That's the cheapest way out and 512 MB
memory is sufficient unless you are trying work with VERY big PDB
files. If so, try to get your hands on a "new, see details" Quadro
4000 and a separate PNY 3-pin mini DIN stereo bracket
(930-50764-0000-000 C for about 20 US$) or a "new, see details" Quadro
5000with build-in emitter.
Good luck
Jeroen.

Hi Christine,
as far as I know, it does not work at all with Geforce cards. The
Nvidia drivers do not support windowed quad buffered GL, which you
need for coot/pymol. It does not matter whether you use Windows or
Linux.
But this is based on my personal experience from around Oct. 2016.
Maybe something changed quietly since then. Again, as far as I know,
you need a Quadro card.
Cheers,
Johannes

Hi,
I have looked in the archive for posts about this, but there
hasn't been one for about a year. Can anyone comment on whether
they have managed to get a linux flavor and GeForce cards to work
with pymol and/or coot 3D stereo? Geforce cards supposedly
support openGL, but posts from October last year on the BB
suggests that it only works in windows unless you have a monitor
with a built in emitter. I would appreciate any feedback.
Regards
Christine

It is invariably the case that high resolution X-ray structures show
significantly better agreement with solution observables such as
coupling constants, 13C chemical shifts, and proton chemical shifts,
than the corresponding NMR structures, including the very best ones.
Hence, in most cases, a high-resolution crystal structure (< 2.0
Å)will provide a better description of the structure in solution than
the corresponding NMR structure (Kuszewski, Gronenborn & Clore, 1996,
