Hi All, Just share my experience, Windows 10 works for pymol 3D under Quadro M4000 with Nvidia 3D kit (no need to connect the 3 pin MINI DIN, Quadro M4000 does not have 3 pin Mini DIN connections). I use Asus 24 inch 3D monitor, connect the monitor with display port to display port of Quadro M4000, no active DP to DVI needed in my case. We have a problem for Coot 3D works even when Pymol 3D works ok, we are trying to figure out the problem but Windows 10 does work for pymol 3D under DP to DP port.
