Hi Xtallographers, Oers and Pymolers,
In late January, Warren wrote: "The Quadro FX 3000 is the fastest card
I've ever seen PyMOL run on". Well since then half a year is gone.
So, would any of you had a chance to compare the FX 1400, FX 3400 and
FX 4400 performances for stereo under Linux, I mean for the usual
stereo programs we're using like O, Pymol or Turbo ?
From several tests I read it seems there is no serious gap between them
at least when compared for various engineering software (Rightmark, 3D
studio Max, AutoCAD, CATIA, Ensight, Maya, Patchwork 3D and
SolidWorks). As for their price there are some huge gaps on the other
hand...
Which of those 3 Quadro would you recommend in terms of
performance/price ratio for molecular graphics ?
In his email, Warren also recommended the NEC-Mitsubishi FP2141SB-BK
22" CRT. What do you Folks think about this monitor if you do use it ?
What do you think about the Iiyama HM204 DT DiamondTron 22" CRT ? Any
other good monitor for stereo around that you would recommended ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Philippe
