* Quadro Card: recent   [http://www.nvidia.com/page/quadrofx_family.html Quadro]   series graphics card (not a GeForce card) such as an FX 380 or 570 or later.  The GeForce cards do not support windowed openGL stereo, so we do not support these series of cards for the NVision 3D solution. For linux, you must have a quadro card that has a 3 pin mini din connector. The cheapest/oldest card that will work with linux is the Quadro 3700.
** '''WARNING''': The Quadro FX1400 does not support 3d vision stereo on Windows7 or Linux.
* Emitter: [http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-main.html|GeForce 3D Vision] hardware kit (an emitter with 3D shutter glasses). For Linux, make sure your kit comes with the 3 pin mini din "VESA" to 2.5mm stereo cable to connect from the stereo output on the video card into the emitter. See the [[3 pin Mini-DIN connector]] article for tips on how to make one of these cables if yours is missing. 
* GeForce Cards from series 400 onward have gained OpenGl support in recent Nvidia driver iterations (314+). This allows Pymol to be viewed in 3D using the quad buffered stereo setting with a GeForce card, 120Hz screen and 3D Vision kit.
