Just a quick addition:
Just confirmed, quad-buffered stereo under Windows 11 also works using
the Nvidia 3DVision USB IR emitter and a stereo-capable monitor (BENQ
XL2720-B in my case), this time connected via DisplayPort.
Once connected, the driver for the USB IR emitter is available for
optional installation through Windows update.
However, the current Nvidia driver (572.16) produced inconsistent stereo
display (stereo flickering on and off), so I did a (clean) install of an
earlier Nvidia driver (527.27). After that stereo worked flawlessly.
(I'm not sure if it's really the older driver or performing a 'clean'
driver installation...)

Hi Wulf,
As some folks indicated already: Quad-buffered Stereo using Nvidia
3DVision shutter glasses still works under Windows 11 - no need to
despair as long as you still have the proper monitor and shutter
glasses...
Just checked it using a new PC with a cheap professional graphics card
(NVIDIA T400 4GB) and an existing ASUS monitor (with built-in 3D
emitter, no USB emitter necessary) and recent NVIDIA drivers (572.16).
The Stereo (3D) settings in the NVIDIA control panel are still there
and just need to be enabled. The video connection between graphics
card (miniDP) and the (not so new) ASUS monitor (Dual-Link DVI) is a
bit cumbersome: first adapter from mini-DP to DP, second (BizLink)
adapter from DP to Dual-Link DVI (the cheap DP-DVI adapters won't give
you the 120Hz refresh rate that is needed). But it works...
Not sure if the setup would work with an external USB IR emitter
though (instead of the built-in emitter).

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

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, …).
Thank you in advance for your advice,
Wulf
