nvidia 3d wired glasses - How can I get the driver?
1 / 3
So I just got a pair of nvidia wired 3d glasses, and just like surround and sli, nvidia seems to be failing ridiculously hard on it's features it likes to talk about.
When I select the wired 3d glasses option in the setup (for which I had to disable surround and sli to open that by that way, that's gonna be fun to set up again), it just tells me I don't have the driver, and it links me to the nvidia.com/downloads page, where it latests driver is for windows 7.
There is no proper documention about this from nvidia anywhere, does anyone know how I could fix this/where I can get a driver? (yes, I have uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled them with the glasses hooked up).

Starting with driver 275.XX, the USB driver is included in the Unified Driver package.
Unless you specifically uncheck the 3D Vision box during a "custom install", it will be installed.
What is your display model and connection type?
You might also try re-installing the drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)

Thank you for the fast response!
I always do the express installion, just to make sure I have everything.
I have three benQ XL2420G, powered by a gtx 780 each.
[s]I do not see the BenQ XL2420G as being 3D Vision supported on any of it's product pages. I see mention of some hybrid engine, perhaps it's unsupported due to this feature??[/s]
"The Hybrid Engine
G-SYNC™ Gaming Monitor
NVIDIA’s latest G-SYNC revolution requires monitor manufacturers to replace their scalar with a G-SYNC, trading in the freedom to scale settings like input frame, color hue, intensity and contrast for pure speed and smoothness of the game. With the best efforts of our R&D champions, we’ve found a way to keep your options open with the world’s first hybrid engine design. So you are in control of matching your choice of gameplay."
EDIT: I searched BenQ's page using ctrl+F in a Chrome browser. It did not return a result for the 3D Vision logo found at the very bottom of the page. It is indeed a 3D Vision monitor.

Are the glasses showing up in Windows Device Manager as a USB device?
What is the monitor listed as in the Change Resolution tab of the Nvidia Control Panel?
I'm assuming that all of your connections are Display Port since it's a G-Sync monitor.
First try disconnecting all but the one monitor, set your desktop to 1920x1080@120HZ and try the setup wizaed again.

They definitely support it, that's one of the reasons I went for these!
At the bottom of the page it has the 3d vision ready logo http://gaming.benq.com/gaming-monitor/xl2420g
and there's a sticker on the monitors themselves aswell...

Yep, sorry about that. You can see that I striked and edited my prior post already

I have unplugged my other two montitors and set it so 120hz, that didn't change anything. (it's indeed DP and 1080p resolution)
as for the usb device showing up, what kind of device should it be listed as?

no problem, I'm sure there have been people who tried it without a 3d monitor.

This is how it shows my emitter, I'm pretty certain that the wired glasses show up the same.

I don't see anything about it in the device manager.
the wired glasses don't have an emitter though.

If the glasses and display are recognized, you should see a 'green" Nvidia 3D Vision Ready logo
[img]http://techreport.com/r.x/state-of-3d-gaming/nv-controlpanel2.png[/img]
If so, you should be able to run and complete the setup wizard.
Once you do get it working, make sure that you enable the advanced in-game settings
http://3dvision-blog.com/111-changing-the-convergence-level-in-3d-vision/
Also know that only a small amount of select games are 3D Vision Ready
For other games, the 3D vision forum community has stereoscopic compatibilty fixes available for a lot of them.

I don't get that, it looks like this for me... https://gyazo.com/6b950c6520d837905858669c566cdf0b
In that case, your glasses and/or your monitor is not being recognized.
I'm not certain, but perhaps the display needs to be plugged into the primary GPU.
