I guess I made a mistake buying Xforce 3d glasses without an Nvidia card. I am trying a solution before return the glasses to the store. My card is a S3 pro savage that is built in the motherboard with 32 meg ram, and I have read that I can use drivers for that card too. And also I'd like to know more about OpenGL which is supported for this card. I'll appreciate any help.

Actually, this was a mistake. NVIDIA offers the only reasonable stereoscopic driver for consumers. A 32 MB S3 graphic card won't work well with recent games anyway, even in 2D. Hopefully it does not use a shared memory architecture, too...

OpenGL support does not mean quadbuffered OpenGL support, therefore no stereoscopy with your S3 card. Only professional cards support quadbuffered OpenGL.

Check out the Scitek site.

I think thats the name.

They used to have a driver wrapper that support OpenGL up to about version 4.

However it does not work on latest games and offers a edimensional level of image quality.

Interlaced and therefore have the res of Nvidia's page flipping.

And is a bugger to get working.

You best bet as Peter hints at is to get a last gen Nvidia card. They are getting cheaper everyday now, driver support is mature and stereo will work in most modern games depending on your CPU of course.
