Issues with 3D Vision Play on Grid 2 and Doom 3 BFG
Most of the games I've tried running through 3D Vision Play rather than 3D Vision have worked but recently I've come across two which are giving me issues. The first is Grid 2. For some reason this always outputs to my 3DTV as 1080p which means the TV can't activate 3D mode. I've disabled scaling in the nVidia Control Panel but it's had no effect. The second is Doom 3 BFG. It seems to be impossible to get it to work on a 3DTV. Setting 3D mode to Quad Buffer on my 3D monitor works fine but that doesn't work on my 3DTV. Any ideas? The graphics card I'm using is the GTX 660 Ti, OS is Windows 8 and nVidia driver version is 320.49.

Grid 2. Try this. [url]http://helixmod.blogspot.com/2013/02/chiris-force-certain-resolutionhertz.html[/url] Even if it doesnt work....bookmark it. It will help you if you ever run into a game where you run into this issue. Though Im not sure why you would need it or be forced to 1080p. Dhr also played game and uses 1280x720p on a hdtv. Perhaps pm him if that doesnt work. Doom 3 bfg. Okay, I dont have it installed so bare with me on directions. Set to Full side by side or fsbs. Not sure what its called to be honest. Then change tv with remote or settings to side by side mode if it doesnt trigger automatically. It should do it automatically but not sure might be age based or whatever.

For GRID 2, change your desktop resolution to 1280x720, then start the game. This game override with desktop resolution.

Thank you both for your solutions. [quote="eqzitara"] Doom 3 bfg. Okay, I dont have it installed so bare with me on directions. Set to Full side by side or fsbs. Not sure what its called to be honest. Then change tv with remote or settings to side by side mode if it doesnt trigger automatically. It should do it automatically but not sure might be age based or whatever.[/quote] I know this is possible but SBS 3D doesn't deliver a quality on par with frame packed 3D. So before going down this route, I'd really like to try getting 3D through 3D Vision Play working.

Not certain tbh, I dont think its that much of a difference in qualitity. Ive heard it being a little but its Full side by side. Half side by side is where quality gets wrecked. Look for the doom 3 bfg post on 3d-vision blog tbh game kind of dissapeared off the face of earth in a week. The usual methods dont work cause its opengl.
