Dear BB,
We are still a bit confused about compatibility of
graphics cards with 3D Coot/PyMol in Linux:
(a) In previous CCP4bb discussions, it was stated
that only Quadro cards are compatible with Linux setups. But could someone tell
me what the minimum standard really is: is it Quadro FX380, 2000, 3800 or
something else ? The nVidia site lists Quadro 3700 and 3800 as the two lowest
(cheapest) options compatible with Linux 3D. However, different CCP4ers
have in the past mentioned the other two options as working "perfectly" or "with
little trouble".
(b) If a monitor such as the ASUS VG278H ,
which has an in-built nVidia 3D vision emitter which takes its stereo synch from
a DVI cable is used, can we even use the simpler GeForce GTX670 or 680
?
As you
might imagine, we are on a rather tight budget. Any info would be greatly
appreciated!
