switching drivers

I was thinkin' about ordering the edimensional glasses. Whats the deal with the drivers. Would I have to keep 2 different sets of drivers on my comp. 1 for stereo and 1 for regular gaming (performance). How would I switch back and forth. That rollback driver thingie? Thanks

 

3d stereo has a control panel where you can set up hot keys to switch on or off 3d mode or default usually is ctrl "T". the 3d thing is pretty awesome just set mine up a couple nights ago; my wife thought I was crazy until she put them on.

 

Sounds cool. I'm gettin' em! When you switch back and forth, what are you actually switching? Drivers?

 

Switching drivers certainly is not necessary (or even useful as far as i know). The effects can be very good, for instance with MSTrain Simulator. In MS fs 2002 there is amazing performance within the cockpits, and , depending on the aircraft, more or less convincing.
Stereo is switched on and off by ctl-T
(I use Leadtek A250 Ti4400 with driver 44oo-series and the specific NVIDIA stereo driver that you can download from NVIDA.com).

Black & Silver,
You aren't switching over drivers. You are just switching from 3d mode to normal. the cool thing is you can hit Ctrl T and see the 3d mode then back to normal by hitting the same buttons. you will notice the difference. make sure you read the other forums about downloading the right video drivers with the right stereo drivers. if you have the latest video drivers you will not be able to use your 3d drivers. you will have to use older drivers. what i did was use an hard drive and use that for all my games. i use windows 98 the most updated drivers i can use with the 3d drivers and everything works awesome. i brag about the 3d stuff to everyone.

 

Thanks man. Thats a great Idea. I just ordered the E Dimensional glasses. I can't wait to see what Morrowind looks like with em. Does that mean that I'll be using the E dim. video card drivers instead of the catylists on the game drive?

 

Actually, i think i got the "extra" drivers on the cd that came with the glasses.

 

These guys have horrible customer service. I didn't have an order number since I've had these glasses for a while. Now that I've upgraded my computer to win xp, I'm sol. I've contacted them on numerous occasion in the past month, but they don't even have the courtesy to reply.

 

maybe it's just because of the the holiday season.

 

well, I got em. But I can't get em to work. Followed the directions. I'm not getting any beep when I hit a hotkey even though its enabled in the settings. In my display options I still show the catylist 3.9 as the driver, is that right? I see theres another port on the doggle, is there supposed to be a power cord going to it? I'm bummed

 

They gave me a cd with Radeon drivers on it. Its all installed, I even have the lovely little icon on the bottom right. Should I be seeing the catylist as my video driver?

 

Go to the ED website and DL the other activator its works much better than the one on the disk , however the one on the disk works well in games....its a little tough to get it all set up and figured out but once you do it awesome!!

PS: go to the ED wesite and look at some of the gallery picts , they don't all work but some do and they are cool.

PSS: the guy at ED responded to me in an e-mail that they are working on new ATI drivers and they should have alot of improvments!!!


I love these things!!

 

Cool, can't wait for the new drivers. Only got it to work with 1 or 2 games, but they do look awesome. Some of the games they list as compatable don't work though. I get a scrambled screen with a invalid frequency or something message. I have the latest ATI drivers, should I be using older ones?

 

Somthing to remember , your frequency doubles when you engage these things , so set your Refresh lower and don't try to res your games so high , it will double when you kick it on

Also if the screen looks like its skewed , adjust the + or - 3d , like the f6 and f7 and shift f7 it should clear things up one way or the other.

good luck

 

Ohhhhhhh. So when I set my resolution to 1024 x 960 100 hertz, my monitors actually trying to run a 200hertz. So I should try setting it to 50 hertz? I normally game at 1200 x 1600 85 hertz but I knocked down the res. thinking I had to get at least 100 hertz.

 

Try to run it at 800X600 at 60mhz min or even 72mhz, and give it a try! you should be able to run games fairly well with out getting the overload error thing, ya gotta play around with it to find the sweet spot.


have fun!! Did you see the pictures yet??
