Colleagues, indeed, I am looking for a good video card to work with ChimeraX.

I had real trouble using the latest AMD drivers which crush the program at the start.

What are good alternatives?

thanks

Colleagues,

I am upgrading my PC and I would take your recommendations about the best video cards that would work with Chimera and Phenix.

Thanks,

sergei sukharev, umd

Hi Sergei,

We recommend taking a look at using ChimeraX instead of Chimera.  We are actively developing ChimeraX (but not Chimera) and in the future it may have features specifically for working with Phenix.  

I have to leave the video card question for others, but encourage responses about what works well with ChimeraX.

Best,

Elaine
