Hi Philippe, If you are using the Windows platform, I suggest you get a Geforce = 6800Ultra, and use rivatuner from = http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=3D163 to modify the driver = to Quadro FX 4400 under Windows XP. Thereafter, substitute O with NOC = from http://noc.ibp.ac.cn/ and you should have saved several thousand = bucks, increased your graphics card performance, and enabled 3D stereo = on a Geforce card! The same goes for enabling undocumented features on = an ATI card.=20 The only caveat is that this mod has not been ported over to Linux, and = that your graphic card's warranty will be ineffectual in the event of = damage to the GPU chip. best regards Wang Chern Hoe -----Original Message----- From: own...@dl... on behalf of Philippe BENAS Sent: Wed 7/27/2005 11:13 PM To: ccp4bb; pymolbb; Obb Cc:=09 Subject: [ccp4bb]: nVidia Quadro FX 1400, FX 3400 and FX 4400 = performances *** For details on how to be removed from this list visit the *** *** CCP4 home page http://www.ccp4.ac.uk *** Hi Xtallographers, Oers and Pymolers, In late January, Warren wrote: "The Quadro FX 3000 is the fastest card=20 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=20 FX 4400 performances for stereo under Linux, I mean for the usual=20 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=20 studio Max, AutoCAD, CATIA, Ensight, Maya, Patchwork 3D and=20 SolidWorks). As for their price there are some huge gaps on the other=20 hand... Which of those 3 Quadro would you recommend in terms of=20 performance/price ratio for molecular graphics ? In his email, Warren also recommended the NEC-Mitsubishi FP2141SB-BK=20 22" CRT. What do you Folks think about this monitor if you do use it ?=20 What do you think about the Iiyama HM204 DT DiamondTron 22" CRT ? Any=20 other good monitor for stereo around that you would recommended ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
