I currently have all my games on 3D I just got this computer with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2GB GPU, and I'm not sure if 3D is enabled by default? I'm not even sure my monitor supports 3D, but all my games are in 3D. how do I turn that off (3D is off in the game, but it's still 3D).

control+t is the hot key to disable and enable 3D.
But if you are not using 3D at all, you want to disable it, so your not taking a performance hit with it running in the background.
In the Nvidia control panel, you should be able to uncheck a box that enables 3D
You'll need to reboot to shutdown the background process

There was no check box, but thank you for that hotkey! Now I can finally play :D
Many thanks.
Yah but if you are not using 3D at all, you want to disable the process running in the background so that you get better FPS.
You could reinstall the driver and select the option not to install the stereo/3D vision drivers
You could save the following as a .bat file. eg 3Dprompt.bat and then just run it when you want to turn it on or off.
[code]@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
:ASK
set /p answer=ENABLE 3D VISION (Y/N)?
if /i "%answer%"=="Y" GOTO ENABLE3D
if /i "%answer%"=="N" GOTO DISABLE3D
GOTO ASK
:ENABLE3D
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvstlink.exe" /enable
GOTO END
:DISABLE3D
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvstlink.exe" /disable
GOTO END
:END EXIT[/code]
There's a link to a more elaborate script in my sig, Display & 3D Switch Script.

Where do I copy and paste that? Into notepad? I tried saving it in notepad but it wouldn't save as a .bat
EDIT: Nevermind, got it as a .bat file, and ran it. I typed N and my monitor switched off then on. Can you tell me the exact process name so that I can see if it's running in task manager?

I don't think nvstlink stays running, although I'm not sure, not at my PC so I can't check. Did it shut it off? When I tested it out before posting it shut off stereoscopic 3D in the control panel. Box was unchecked when I selected N and checked when I selected Y.

This is a more permanent solution. I have to use it when testing stuff, so I know it works.

It seems like that short script of yours worked. The games launch without 3D, so that's good. :)
