Re: [PyMOL] Info graphical cards

Hi Gianluigi,

> The card will be NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti

That card _should_ be fine for typical PyMOL usage. But, be warned:
that card will NOT do 120 Hz stereoscopic 3D. You need a Quadro card
for that.

Upon looking further, the card supports OpenGL 4.1 and NVidia usually
has pretty good drivers. That's good. But, my only concern is that
it's marketed for DirectX (usually, gaming) performance. PyMOL is pure
OpenGL, not DirectX.

As always, with Linux, check your driver and distributions's release
notes to see if your card is supported.

Good luck.

Cheers,

-- Jason
