Reporting in a setup that we just made: Quadro P4000 + 3 pin stereo bracket + 3d vision 2 kit + ASUS VG248QE.
Running System76's PoPOS Ubuntu 17.10 distro - you'll have to install a desktop environment that supports non-compositing (ie: XFCE). Works beautifully. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Fairman C: 1-240-479-6575 On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 6:40 AM, mesters <mest...@biochem.uni-luebeck.de> wrote: > 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.
