ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 3D Stereo Rendering?

I'm newbie in video cards and 3D, so don't expect knowledge in the topic, please be patient. I have this type of card in my PC, and want it to work with my 3D glasses to see 3D figures (you know, an image for the left eye and an image for the right eye). The company that sold me the glasses, told me I need Nvidia based graphics cards and the Nvidia 3D stereo drivers. Also, as I know, I need a card with Quad-Buffer support. Can someone please tell me if this radeon 9800 has this type of features? and if possible, how can I set it up in the card?
Thanx, M
 
I know of three basic systems for displaying true stereo video images:

1. Red/green images. -- These add red and green (or blue) filters to the left and right images and require corresponding red and green/blue fliters. Of course, that cuts down the color depth of the image.

2. Polarized images -- These separate the image using polarized filters. Your vid card would essentially have to output separate left and right images to a display system that interlaces them and displays them on a single display with matching, timed, interlaced polarized filters. You would view them using polarized glasses.

3. Separate images projected directly to the viewer's eyes. These are small, individual projectors spaced at eye width. A single, dual output card could do this if you happen to have this kind of display, and it accepts image information in standard computer formats.
