1 BenQ XL2420TX + 2 BenQ XL2420T for 3d surround setup on 2x 680s
I run into a problem when trying to enable stereoscopic 3d which says that my 3d vision usb driver is not installed. I'm trying to use the built in emitter from the TX and the 3d vision glasses that came with it. My TX is on DVI-D plugged into my top card and my T's are connected into the 2 DisplayPorts (1 on each card). Do I need to return my TX and get another regular 2420T and just buy a separate kit?

For the record, I have uninstalled and re-installed drivers with clean install from driver versions: 310.64, 310.70, and 310.90. This happens when I choose wired glasses during the 3d setup wizard. I would appreciate a reply from nVidia support on this matter.

I'm assuming 3D Vision works well using only the TX monitor while the other two are connected. This is a community forum and not a Nvidia support channel so if you want support you better look elsewhere. What you are trying to do should work IMO but at the same time Nvidia requires 3 monitors of the same model. Bloody on 3dvisionblog did some tests using different models. I still think it required fooling windows the monitors we're all the same. My assumption is that if windows believes you have 3 TX monitors it might work.

Thanks to everybody using my assembler it warms my heart.
To have a critical piece of code that everyone can enjoy!
What more can you ask for?

try this, remove all the monitors. now plug in the tx only, to your display port use monitor asset manager to capture the edid of the tx and create an inf file now remove the tx and connect a T and use that inf to do an EDID override on that input now do the same with the other T on the other DP input. it's important that you capture the TX on a DP port you'll need to override both DP ports If the TX came with a CD with a EDID/inf file on it, use it. Both models are surround vision ready, but unfortunately Nvidia requires them all to be the same. You could even have three monitors that are the same, only to find out one doesn't work because they changed the EDID during the product run.

Thank you both, After I get the .inf file how do I do the override exactly? Will this permanently change something on the monitor rom memory, or is this only for Windows registry?

It takes special hardware and/or software to reprogram a monitors "eeprom". An override is done in windows registry and does nothing to the monitor it self. The only way it could effect the monitor is by using something like an EDID from a 120Hz monitor on a 60Hz display. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hdfever.fr%2F2011%2F02%2F20%2Ftutoriel-faire-fonctionner-un-projecteur-3d-dlp-link-avec-le-kit-3d-vision%2F

Hey, i was hoping of getting the same setup. Can anyone confirm that this will actually work? Thank you :)
