3DTV - Can't adjust convergence
  1 / 2    
I recently purchased the standalone 3DTV drivers, and am using it with my Panasonic 3d TV. Everthing appears to be working correctly, except that I can't adjust convergence on the games I've tried (Batman AA - Game of the Year, and Tomb Raider Anniversary).

I enabled the advaned in-game settings check box on the 'Set keyboard shortcuts' dialog. All other shortcuts work fine, but the convergence stuff does nothing.

If anyone knows what I can do to get this to work, I'd really appreacte any info.

Hi

What driver are you working? This may be a bug.

I may be totally nuts, but I feel like sometimes the convergence shortcuts won't work for me if its a command in game. Like say in Batman: AA cntrl makes you crouch, if you set your convergence shortcut to cntrl 3 and cntrl 4 for example it won't work. Change the convergence shortcut or your cntrl shortcut in game to something else and try it. Again, this probably some freak of nature "I'm Insane" idea but hey it dosn't hurt lol

Andrew,

I've tried it with both the 260 drivers and the 265 beta drivers. Both exhibited the same problem.

I thought it might be that, but I confirmed it wasn't by swapping my hotkeys for depth and convergence. In both cases I was able to change depth, but the convergence keys did nothing.

Can you be more specific about what exactly the bug entails? Are convergence settings not working at all with 3DTV Play? Any chance you could provide me a link to the forum posts discussing this issue?

Thanks for the help.

There is nothing special just that 'it doesnt work'(tm)
Did some search for you and it seems that it might actually work but there is no feedback in the screen like there is from depth.

It'd be a good idea if nVidia added some visual feedback from convergence. Like we get a bar for depth, have a number for convergence. At least you could tell if it was changing.

I am also having this issue.

I traded up my 3D Vision / 120Hz LCD setup for a 3D TV (Sony KDL-46HX800) and 3DTV Play setup.

Works great for 3D BluRays and 3D video files, but isn't the same for games. I'm playing Resident Evil 5 and Mafia II on the same computer as my previous 3D Vision setup, they were outstanding on the 3D Vision setup, but 3DTV Play will only really work well at 15% depth.

If I increase the depth all that changes is the amount of ghosting. At 15% depth there is no ghosting and little 3D effect. If I increase it to 100% there is a lot of ghosting, no change in the 3D effect other than that.

And adjusting the convergence has absolutely no effect whatsoever. I know that there is no on-screen display for convergence like there is for depth, that was the same with 3D Vision. The difference is that with 3D Vision there was a clear change in the convergence level, but with 3DTV Play there is no change at all.

Will this be fixed in an upcoming driver?

Hi

I have asked our engineering team to look into convergence not working. Thanks.

Hi

Here are some comments on the problems users are having.

[list]

[*]1. Advanced hotkeys need to be enabled for the convergence adjustment to work.
[*]Some games override this option making it not possible to do. (I believe Batman AA does this)
[*]Some games "consume" hotkeys making it not possible to do. (I believe Tomb Raider does this)
[/list]

Please try adjusting convergence within the NVIDIA test applicaiton and see if that works.

Adjusting convergence within the NVIDIA test application works well. However, it does not work in any of the games I've tried.
