Dear all, in case anybody is interested in a used 3D setup for crystallography one is still available: See here for more details: https://www.mail-archive.com/ccp4bb@jiscmail.ac.uk/msg41144.html
Kind regards, Matic. On 12. 12. 2017 08:39, Jim Fairman wrote: Reporting in a setup that we just made: Quadro P4000 + 3 pin stereo bracket + 3d vision 2 kit + ASUS VG248QE. Running System76's PoPOS Ubuntu 17.10 distro - you'll have to install a desktop environment that supports non-compositing (ie: XFCE). Works beautifully. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Fairman C: 1-240-479-6575 On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 6:40 AM, mesters <mest...@biochem.uni-luebeck.de<mailto:mest...@biochem.uni-luebeck.de>> wrote: Hi, yes, consumer cards do have OpenGL implemented on a chip but the Nvidia driver did not allow OpenGL 3D to work until February 2013. As of Nvidia driver version 314.07, Nvidia added OpenGL quad buffered 3D Stereo for GeForce cards (at least under MS Windows 7/8). However, this was never officially announced and officially supported and only works if the monitor is preset to run at 120 Hz and the software automatically switches into full-screen mode. Sadly, windowed applications will not work. Under MS Windows 10, it does not seem to work anymore. We have a monitor with a build in emitter and that one works with the smaller/cheaper Quadro cards without the 3-pin connector but, it is virtually impossible nowadays to get such a monitor in order to avoid needing to buy an expensive Nvidia card with a 3-pin connector. To enjoy OpenGL quad buffered 3D Stereo, you will at least need a Quadro K4000/P4000/4000 with separate 3-pin bracket (all-in-all very expensive solution) or you will need to buy an older FX model such as the FX3700 with build-in 3-pin connector. At the Bay in the USA, unused / brand-new FX3700s are being offered right now for about 90-110 US$. That's the cheapest way out and 512 MB memory is sufficient unless you are trying work with VERY big PDB files. If so, try to get your hands on a "new, see details" Quadro 4000 and a separate PNY 3-pin mini DIN stereo bracket (930-50764-0000-000 C for about 20 US$) or a "new, see details" Quadro 5000 with build-in emitter. Good luck Jeroen. Am 28.11.17 um 10:50 schrieb Johannes Cramer: Hi Christine, as far as I know, it does not work at all with Geforce cards. The Nvidia drivers do not support windowed quad buffered GL, which you need for coot/pymol. It does not matter whether you use Windows or Linux. But this is based on my personal experience from around Oct. 2016. Maybe something changed quietly since then. Again, as far as I know, you need a Quadro card. Cheers, Johannes 2017-11-06 21:24 GMT+01:00 Christine Gee <chr...@gmail.com<mailto:chr...@gmail.com>>: Hi, I have looked in the archive for posts about this, but there hasn't been one for about a year. Can anyone comment on whether they have managed to get a linux flavor and GeForce cards to work with pymol and/or coot 3D stereo? Geforce cards supposedly support openGL, but posts from October last year on the BB suggests that it only works in windows unless you have a monitor with a built in emitter. I would appreciate any feedback. Regards Christine -- Dr. math. et dis. nat. Jeroen R.

(Gustave Flaubert, French novelist, 1821-1880) -- It is invariably the case that high resolution X-ray structures show significantly better agreement with solution observables such as coupling constants, 13C chemical shifts, and proton chemical shifts, than the corresponding NMR structures, including the very best ones. Hence, in most cases, a high-resolution crystal structure (< 2.0 Å) will provide a better description of the structure in solution than the corresponding NMR structure (Kuszewski, Gronenborn & Clore, 1996, Protein Science 5:1067-80) -- Disclaimer * This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
