# '''3D Vision Pro''' is ''not'' what you want, this | # '''3D Vision Pro''' is ''not'' what you want, this is for professional CAD/CAM applications, and is expensive. | ||
# | # The quality of Nvidia 3D Vision is better than that of Zalman, because Zalman stereo means halved vertical resolution. | ||
# Compatible monitors are [http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html listed] but this website has not been updated for years. | # The Nvidia 3D vision emitter that requires connection via USB and nvidia quadro 3-pin connector only works on Windows, not Linux! | ||
# | # Compatible stereo monitors without build-in emitter, thus windows only, are [http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html listed] but this website has not been updated for years. | ||
# Linux needs the DIN 3-pin connector which is only on the high end Quadro cards. The cheapest (2014+) Nvidia Quadro with 3-pin DIN Stereo connector is the K4200 (http://www.nvidia.de/object/quadro-desktop-gpu-specs-de.html) which starts at ~ €700. | |||
# The currently (2013+) most affordable NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 solution on Linux is to buy one of the monitors with built-in IR emitter (we have the BenQ XL2420TX), and a cheap Quadro, e.g. (2013) the FX380 or (2015) K420. The latter has a Dual-Link DVI and a Displayport outlet, so can drive the stereo monitor, and an additional monitor. This solution avoids the USB/3-pin hassle altogether. See below for xorg.conf! GeForce cards (instead of Quadro) ''do not give Stereo'' on Linux. | # The currently (2013+) most affordable NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 solution on Linux is to buy one of the monitors with built-in IR emitter (we have the BenQ XL2420TX), and a cheap Quadro, e.g. (2013) the FX380 or (2015) K420.
