Upside Down Glasses and other 3D woes......
  1 / 2    
Hi All,

After a week of faffing around with my new kit, I'm at the stage of pleading for a bit of help setting up my PJ and 3D kit.

My kit is as follows:

- Nvidia GTX 460 GPU connected by HDMI (through DVI>HDMI connector) to
- Optoma HD67 Projector
- 3D vision kit
- Second HDMI (from Mini HDMI port) to A/V amplifier and on to TV (42'' LCD TV)
- Win 7 64 bit

In my settings, the PJ was correctly picked up as the HD67 and the other output is showing as my Pioneer amplifier. Nvidia panel shows both a HDCP compliant.

I can feed 720p at 120hz to my PJ quite happily and have set the PJ as main display.

I have used the HDCP override Acer driver for the projector to allow the 3D vision set up to pick up the 3d display.

OK........so my problems are........

I now get a message (in red across the bottom of the screen) saying that I do not have a 3D compatible mode active (not clear if this means the PC or the projector). I can see in 3D but only when wearing the nvidia glasses upside down.

I have seen lots of talk about upside down glasses but no definitive fix... Can anyone help?


Thanks,

J

It usually means that you need to set the resolution to 1280x720.

I have it set to 720p, that's the same thing isn't it?

Really frustrated with the glasses problem more than anything. Surely there must be a way to fix this?

Here's a fix which will surely work...... STAND ON YOUR HEAD with the 3D glasses on /haha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':haha:' /> /haha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':haha:' /> /haha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':haha:' />
Then you won't have to wear your glasses upside down !
Seriously, I can't understand why people spend so much money on things like Projectors and stuff, when they would be better off with a simple 120 Hz LCD monitor like mine. I really think they would be better off spending that money on the graphic card or going SLI like I have.
Even if Orphus sorts out his "upside down glasses" problem, he is going to get pretty poor FPS with a single miserable 460 GTX in 3D Vision games like Dead Rising 2 and Mafia 2 and THAT'S A FACT !! I was having problems enough with a single GTX 480, until I upgraded to SLI.
For good fps in 3D Vision games you NEED to go SLI and that's a fact I learned the hard way !
( No offence intended).

It should be the same but maybe from a software point of view it isn't.

Manually set your display to 1280 x 720 @ 120hz. Then run the nvidia 3d wizard.

Well it all seems to be fixed now, rather magically everything just started working.

Some useful responses would have been nice though. I didn't ask for advice on which cards I [i][/i]should[i][/i] have bought, and given this is a HTPC not a gaming machine, game performance is of no interest to me. Just as a point to note also, standing upside down would not actually make a jot of difference but thanks for the suggestion Shrapnel.

Only thing left to do now is get a HDMI repeater as even with a good quality cable I'm still getting sparkles at 15m.
