Quadbuffered stereo still works on Windows 10 (and Linux) with one monitor as before. The drop of 3Dvision didn’t impact this. What it impacted is the lack of hardware as manufacturers are no longer making 3D capable monitors, 3D glasses and emitters.

There is still the option to send quadbuffered stereo output to two monitors. It seems that Nvidia then leaves it up to you how to pass the two images to your two eyes. We have a solution sold as "Pluraview" (3d-pluraview.com), which is not really cheap compared to the old active displays. It actually has some advantages in terms of resolution and it is absolutely flicker-free. Setting up the driver under Linux was a pain, and at the end also required switching off of any energy and screen saver. Setup on Win 10 was way easier, we haven't tried Win 11 so far.

I went very old school (as in 1970s—1980s) and use side by side either with mirror glasses that I put on my face or indeed by making a double mirror system like we had at Yale with the ps2. Rather than having a finely machined device with anodised black aluminium and glass mirrors, I used cardboard and Mylar. It also works :) Adrian Sent from my iPhone On 27 Feb 2025, at 10:49, Pedro Matias <mat...@itqb.unl.pt<mailto:mat...@itqb.unl.pt>> wrote: Hi Wulf, We never got our NVIDIA 3D to work with Windows 10, only with Windows 7. The Windows advantage is that the graphics cards are much cheaper than those for Linux. I believe there is a NVIDIA 3D Vision standalone driver that may work in Windows 11. Alternatively, my suggestion would be to use a PC disconnected from the internal institute network and keep running Windows 10 on it. File transfer would be a bit of an hassle but workable. Good luck & best regards, Pedro On 27/02/2025 07:05, Blankenfeldt, Wulf wrote: Dear all, I have just been shocked by our IT department’s announcement that they will force us into migration to Win11 very soon. I know I am a dinosaur, but I still use and love my old nvidia Quadro/Asus/shutter glasses combi (over 10 years old) for hardware stereo viewing of protein structures under Win10. I am afraid that this will simply not work anymore once I have been upgraded, since nvdia has disabled hardware stereo in its drivers long time ago. Personally, I cannot understand how modern structural biology can live without it and I would love to still be able view structures in “real” 3D. I know that the ccp4 community is graphics- and tech-savvy, I am therefore asking if you know of any modern day and established/sustainable hardware solution for 3D viewing in our favorite programs (Coot, PyMol, …).
