:knock:Hi everybody . . . My E3d goggles should arrive tomorrow . . . I have a LCD that can use either digital or analog signals. If i use the 15pin analog connector will I be able to use the goggles and also Nvidia stereo drivers ??
yep it will work with 15pin analog connector, i'm using 162.50 for stereo and forceware, gives you good image quality. 1 thing , most of game don't work if you enable stereo by shortcut key in nvidia control panel, so try using always on in panel.
:mad3: Ay these guys are still waiting for their shipment to clear customs i hope to have my goggles by Friday afternoon here(GMT +2) so i haven't had a chance to test the drivers as yet . . . will post as soon as i test 'em :cyclone:
Ok Finally got 'em the damn thing doesn't work with my LCD . . . :bash: going to try testing various stereo driver combinations and also test on a CRT to c the diference . . . :bigsmile: i hope you other peepl out there have good luck with stereo keep us posted (",) -->
When you say that it doesn't work with the LCD what do you mean exactly? Does the LCD show two images that look like being shown at the same time but the glasses don't flicker, or is it that the stereo doesn't even start? If the monitor shows two images, the glasses flicker, but when you put the glasses on you see the LCD as if its off, then its a polarisation issue. The glasses you got are not compatible with LCDs. Keep in mind that for stereo drivers to work, you need to have the SAME version of both FF and stereo drivers. Down to the .xx version. Also, if you can't see the stereo section, you should revert to the old school GUI to see it.
I thought you need to run the ED drivers so that it works with LCD - of course only with the new LCD compatible glasses ?
I apologize, i forgot about that. I don't really know about it because i haven't got an LCD monitor, but you might be right since i guess you might want to use interlace than page flipping with 60Hz.
I cant get mine to work with a my LCD monitor.. I have a 19" samsung @ 75Hz and aa geforce 7900 GTO.. have been messing with it for HOURS.. and cant get anything other than a crazy flickering mess.. im not sure exactly what stereo drivers or card drivers im supposed to be using.. HELP!!!
flickering mess? You mean that the screen actually clickers the two different view points back and forth but the goggles don't flicker? (also, it would be better to make a thread for your problem than taking over someone else's thread )
TFT or CRT... I think the problem comes from the fact LCD monitors don't really work with the shutter glasses; at least thats true with Nvidia's drivers. I believe a CRT monitor will work with E3D goggles and nvidia stereo drivers, but as far as the LCD monitor goes, ir probably won't. The flickering occurs, both on the lcd monitor and the glasses, but its as if its out of synch, because it doesn't look 3D. I had the same issue when trying to program a microcontroller to make my old VR-100 glasses to flicker. I'm no expert, but i think its just better to have a CRT, but good luck finding one these days if you dont already have one.
use 60. lcd's accomplish 75 by only buffering at 60hz, but drawing a repeated frame to show 75. ex 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 8 9 10 11 12 12 etc. it will just ruin your goggle timing. -scheherazade
my beef is that on eDs site they state in a very matter of fact manner, that the glasses Now supporting both CRT and LCD monitors! you dont find out till later when you try and used them that this is, pretty much a complete and total lie.. i still havent recieved a reply back from them about this BTW.. :bash:
Yes, it does support LCD... It does support LCD, but the support is terrible. The flicker of both the glasses and the monitor is out of synch with an LCD, and that previous post about the LCD monitor simulating the refresh rate of 75Hz makes perfect sense of why this would happen. If possible, get a CRT monitor, I just switched today from a TFT LCD monitor and everything works perfectly. Word of advice with these goggles (if you have an nvidia card that is) don't use their software, you don't need it. Plug the dongle in, then use nvidia's drivers. If their software is running as well, it causes all sorts of issues. Quake 3 is one of the best quick games to test 3d out on as well, just fyi!
