Tom,<br>I use the 3D vision system with Chimera. Note that in order for the 3Dvision to work you'll either need a 100Hz or better CRT or a 3D-ready 120Hz LCD from Samsung or Viewsonic. It won't work with standard LCDs. You'll also need to be running Vista or Windows 7.<br>
<a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Requirements.html">http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Requirements.html</a><br><br>You're also going to want a Quadro card, not the <font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-GB">GTX285 </span></font>geforce card you have listed below. The Geforce cards can't do sequential stereo in windowed mode, and I'm not sure if Chimera would even allow sequential stereo even in full screen mode with a geforce (but I haven't tested it with a geforce card).<br>
<br>In my experience, the sequential stereo with the Nvidia hardware has been just "ok"...its nice when it works, but it hasn't always worked. I really think my issue has been my hardware...I have a Quadro FX 4500, which is an older (albeit expensive!) card with an onboard DIN-connector. I just found out that its not supported by the 3D vision drivers, so thats hopefully why I'm having occasional display problems. Here's a list of compatible quadro cards:<br>

In fact, I just ordered a Quadro Fx 380 for about $125, which I hope will solve the issues I'm having with the fx 4500. It should be here next week- I'll let you know how it goes.<br>
