Graphical System Requirements

The advanced graphical features present in the CSD System software should be compatible with most modern graphical hardware. However, we do highly recommend installation of the latest graphical hardware drivers and OpenGL drivers to ensure optimal performance. These are often both available from your graphical hardware manufacturer’s website.

 

The development and testing of stereo viewing in Mercury 3.0 was done on the following hardware configuration:

•	Stereographics CrystalEyes Workstation, with stereo glasses, E2 emitter and StereoEnabler.

Display card:

•	NVIDIA Quadro FX 1400.

However, we anticipate that the stereo display should work on any machines that support OpenGL quad-buffered stereo. If you try Mercury 3.0 on machines with any other stereo display, we would appreciate receiving feedback to support@ccdc.cam.ac.uk on whether this is successful, so that we may inform other users of valid hardware configurations. On machines without appropriate hardware, the Stereo check-box will be disabled.
