Looking to buy new gaming notebook...what still works with 3d vision?
So, let's start with some disclaimers. I know a gaming notebook is definitely not the best use of resources as they quickly become outdated, have pretty limited upgradability, and I could surely get much more bang more my buck with a proper desktop rig. I know this. But, the last few years I've moved around every two years or so for work across borders. Having to log around a gaming rig would have been terrible, so having a gaming notebook has been a positive experience.
Now, with that out of the way. My current notebook is an old Dell XPS 17 (L702X), which had the 555M card in there. It also had the emitter built into the chasis, a 120 hz 3D ready display, and I was hooked. It worked well for a long time, but basically nothing new will run well on it. I'm looking to buy a new notebook, but I've been a bit out of the loop and I don't know which computers are still 3D Vision compatible. Since official sponsorship has all but died, I come to the community for pointers on what laptop displays/cards will give me the stereo gaming fix. I´m not set on active glasses, passive 3D could also work. I have greatly enjoyed movies and games in stereo 3D, and I´m sooooo irritated that no more 3d Tvs will be made (still hanging on to my old Samsung LED TV). At least for gaming, stereo 3D really gave a sense of place to the spaces crafted by game designers. I don't think I want to do the whole jump to VR just yet, it's a whole different animal.
Another disclaimer. I'm not made of money, so some suggestions that don´t break the bank are greatly appreciated.

The last model I know of was Alienware's M17x R4 with an 120 Hz 3D display option. Given that these came equipped with up to 680M, youre also going to need to spend say $500 at least on top of the cost of the unit for 980M and have some technical know-how (you will need a modified BIOS) as a single 680M will not be able to push 3D Vision at 1080p unless it's a really old title.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/alienware-17-and-m17x-r4-upgrading-980m-psu-cpu-120hz-screen.762791/page-5
You could theoretically do it all for $500 without a CPU upgrade (and you can probably expect a CPU bottleneck) for $1k. If the unit does not have an i7 3920 / 3940 you will need to add the cost of that to $1k and more for the heatsink.
I addition to the desktop in my signature I also have an 980M, i7 3920 equipped M18x R2 and the 980M with a very slight OC (about as fast as a GTX 970 at default clocks) is starting to struggle with newer titles in 2D. For example, Rise of the Tomb Raider. It may be able to do older titles in 3D but yeah, some of the newer ones it couldn't even if it had a 3D capable display (I really wish it did). 680M is half as fast as 980M, youre not going to push anything with that in 3D.

That is false! The last Alienware laptops equipped with a 3D Screen where deployed with 880M (See my signature).
You cannot put a 980M in this laptop and still use the 3D Screen (for reasons I am not going to list in this post).
However, it is possible to put a 980M and use and external 3D Monitor (and emitter) and it will work! :) But the internal Laptop LCD will not!

Well apparently 980M in the M17x R4 is possible, I will quote the specific post, page and thread below. 980M is way faster than 880M, 880M is basically 780M with a different vbios, which itself is give or take 10% faster than 680M. 980M is 100% faster than 680 / 780 and 880M.
I would take a 980M equipped R4 over an 880M R5. It can be done.

Well, I am interested in investing in a computer that will play current games well, so that it will last me some years to come with good performance. If the 980M is already struggling with current releases, what's the point?
I've been looking into laptops with the 1070 cards. I understand this card can handle the stereo 3D, given that you have the appropriate display and drivers. So, at this point in time, would that be a 3D projector or an external monitor? Are there no new laptop displays that can work with the 3d vision emitter? I have searched the forum, but it feels like the topics stray a bit from a simple answer. Can 120 hz G-sync enabled displays work with the 3d vision kit? Should I'd be looking for TN or IPS panels? Can passive technology, like tridef, work with the new cards and displays?
I really am sorry if you guys have answered all these questions before, I'm just thoroughly confused at this point. I don't want to spend money on something that won't get me the desired result no matter how much tinkering I do.

I've got an Alienware M17x R4 with a 680M and have been curious to try upgrading the graphics card, but I have seen numerous reports that a 980M won't drive the built in screen in 3D (and I see very little point in using a laptop to drive an external screen, at least not for my situation). I'm not certain the explanations I've heard as to why this might be (driver lockout?) quite stack up, but it is well established that it won't work, so I'd be hesitant to spend money to try something that will probably be a dead end, and would not recommend anyone else do so either. That said - if anyone happens to have a 980M they aren't using and want to get rid of, send it my way and I'll see if I have any luck.

It doesn't work:( At least not in my Alienware... Tried it with 2 980M. One from a Clevo one from an actual Alienware... You could fool the drivers to activate 3D Vision, but the internal LCD doesn't go in 3D mode no matter what... then again I only had a few days to try it out.
Maybe, somebody with more current tech electronics knowledge would be able to make it;) But, both me and a buddy, we weren't able to make it work:(
For the record 120HZ was available but always in 2D mode. The LCD wouldn't go in 3D Mode and sync with the emitter + glasses.

I've been looking into laptops with the 1070 cards. I understand this card can handle the stereo 3D, given that you have the appropriate display and drivers. So, at this point in time, would that be a 3D projector or an external monitor? Are there no new laptop displays that can work with the 3d vision emitter? I have searched the forum, but it feels like the topics stray a bit from a simple answer. Can 120 hz G-sync enabled displays work with the 3d vision kit? Should I'd be looking for TN or IPS panels? Can passive technology, like tridef, work with the new cards and displays?
I really am sorry if you guys have answered all these questions before, I'm just thoroughly confused at this point. I don't want to spend money on something that won't get me the desired result no matter how much tinkering I do.

It doesn't work:( At least not in my Alienware... Tried it with 2 980M. One from a Clevo one from an actual Alienware... You could fool the drivers to activate 3D Vision, but the internal LCD doesn't go in 3D mode no matter what... then again I only had a few days to try it out.
Maybe, somebody with more current tech electronics knowledge would be able to make it;) But, both me and a buddy, we weren't able to make it work:(
For the record 120HZ was available but always in 2D mode. The LCD wouldn't go in 3D Mode and sync with the emitter + glasses.

Apparently 980M and 3D Vision in an M17x R4 is possible in Win 8.1.
