On the subject of nVidia graphics cards, linux and stereo, I feel I ought to mention the Asus VG278H. This is a 120Hz 27" 1920x1080 monitor with a built-in nVidia 3D vision emitter, which comes bundled with a pair of 3D vision glasses. The great thing about the built-in emitter is that it take

Hi, They might be, but please be aware that nearly all scientific applications use OpenGL for drawing and 3D. Many games use DirectX, an MS standard, for that. The capabilities differ by standard (OpenGL vs DirectX), hardware (NVidia GeForce, NVidia Quadro, AMD, Intel, etc) and operating system.
