Thomas, I've been using the Quadro fx 380 for a couple weeks now, and I would say that the results are marginally better than with the fx 4500. There is still some occasional flickering, and for some reason, the card has trouble resetting to the normal windows aero after I close chimera with the view set to sequential stereo. I also have occasional issues when using stereoplayer or Pymol, so it looks like Nvidia still has to work out some driver issues with their 3Dvision. <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>

<br>
You're also going to want a Quadro card, not the </span></font><span lang="EN-GB">GTX285 </span>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>

<br>
The nice thing about Nvidia's 3D vision is that you don't need to buy one of
the very expensive Quadro cards with stereo output through an onboard
DIN-connector (the fx 3000 series and up). 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>
