Stereoscopic graphics are supported through OpenGL in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later. The following guidelines are recommended:
- A cathode ray tube (CRT) display capable of a 100Hz vertical refresh rate is required for full-screen and windowed stereo display modes. LCD displays are not supported.
- A graphics card that supports the vigorous demands necessary for stereoscopic 3D graphics must be used, such as an NVidia Quadro FX 4500 (PCI Express) card. Note: The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 requires both the 16-lane PCI Express graphics slot and an adjacent PCI Express slot.
- A stereo-enabled application that can use OpenGL stereo functions. You can search for applications here.
- Stereo goggles with a Mini-DIN connector are supported. In the event your video card does not have a VGA output, a DVI-to-VGA adapter can be used.
Stereoscopic graphics have been tested with a PowerPC G5 Quad 2.5GHz computer with optional NVidia Quadro FX 4500 video card installed.
