Although what you say is true (see this page for more detailed implementation:
http://www.stereographics.com/html/whtpaprs.html) (you don't need the min-3DIN
or even stereo support
in the card), it has serious limitations which make it unacceptable for
scientific visualization.
Another problem with your solution is that you don't have any way to sync the
left eye
to the left frame and the right eye to the right frame. Stereo without the left
and ad right eyes
properly synch'd doesn't work right.
