Nvidia Pro (Quadro 3D stereo) QLaptop for Quadro 3D Vision Pro
1 / 2
Can anyone advice on a smaller computer (like a Shuttle or similar) or preferably a LAPTOP confirmed working with an external 120 Hz monitor in 3D Stereo. Pls notice this is Pro, i.e Quadro card.
It says in the specs that Nvidia Quadro xxxxM card should work but I need confirmation from someone really tried this before buying. Also, I am wondering if the Display Port on the LAPTOP will work with stereo monitor using cable converter to DVI-D cable? I guess standard VGA connector will NOT work on the notebook...

I know it is a long time between when you posted this and my reply but thought it was still worth mensioning as I am sure others have had the same issue (I came across you post in google search).
I have had success using a Dell Percision 6500 with a Quadro 2800m card. A Display Port to DVI Dual Link apapter was required to be connected beween the laptop and the external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2233 120 Hz monitor). We the used the NVida 3d Vision glasses and emitter (IR).
The DP to DVI adapter I am using is from StarTech (dp2dvid).
I have not been able to find any laptop containing a Quatro card with internal 120 hz display as of yet (still looking).

If you could get Dell to put a quadro card (5000m) into the XPS 17 3D laptop, it would serve as a great workstation for GIS and AutoCAD users.... or anybody who needs quad buffered stereo. I have asked many times... maybe I'll ask again.

It would be interesting to see what kind of numbers there are for professional users who are waiting for this setup... It's a bit of a shame that the 3D Vision setup has been limited this way for laptops. I know that up here in Canada, there are 1000's of Stereoscopic GIS users who view/edit layers using stereoscopic aerial imagery. I can only imagine how many would be in the US and EU.
It seems simple... offer support for the Quadro line of cards on gaming systems, and blamo... sales would boom... on high end machines too.
Who's going to do it? not sure, but when it happens, I'm getting one.

And it's longer time still since your reply! Just wanted to add my experience using a Dell Precision M4600 equipped with a Quadro 2000M. This laptop only has a DisplayPort output and I was hoping we could duplicate David's success using the same Startech DP to Dual Link DVI-D adapter. That success was mixed at best. We need to run a quad-buffering application called Stereo Analyst for ArcGIS (SAFA) to view and classify stereo pairs of aerial photos in 3D. We've been doing this on workstations using a variety of Quadro cards (currently using Quadro 4000) and now need to do this on a laptop to accommodate a co-worker with health issues.
We are using two 3D monitors at present - the original Samsung 2233RZ and the Acer GD235HZ and I tested both using the DP2DVID, the latest Nvidia display driver, and the 3D Vision glasses emitter. Using the Samsung, I could not get 3D as long as the laptop's display was on. However, when outputting the display to just the Samsung, I had no problem selecting a 120Hz refresh rate and viewing the full-screen 3D test via the "Run Setup Wizard". I was not so lucky with SAFA, and the 3D effect would vary. It would work great momentarily, then would invert, then would invert for only half of the image. I could never get stereo 3D to stabilze. It was the same for the Acer, though a bit more stable. Unfortunately, it was not suitable for the work we need to do.
We are going to try one more potential solution - the Eurocom Neptune, which we spec'd out with a 120Hz display and a Quadro FX 2800M - the only company that even provides these components in the same build (that I could find, anyway). Selecting this display will include a built-in emitter and 3D Vision glasses. The hope is that this combination will allow us to use SAFA on either the laptop's display or on the Samsung or Acer using the laptop's Dual Link DVI-D output. We should receive this laptop next week and I'll provide an update for those who have a similar interest in running 3D quad-buffered apps on a laptop. Wish me luck!

The Eurocom Neptune is a good solution as it has a built in Dual Link DVI port. They will try to sell you a quadro 5010m in it though... that is way overkill as a 2000m, 2800m, 3800m will work as well. Good luck with this. BTW, I am a photo interp as well... :)What company are you with?

Hey GP! The DVI-D is important since it's our Plan B. If we can't get the display to sync with the glasses, we hope the Neptune can at least output the 3D signal to either a Samsung or Acer 3D monitor via the DVI-D so I was happy to hear Eurocom went that way instead of DisplayPort. We haven't received the Neptune yet so I can't provide any updates. As soon as we get it though, I will update this thread on how it performs.
I am a cartographer with the federal government (we map land cover/land use on federal lands) but I post here as private citizen with the same concerns as you and a few other Quadro users - namely getting our quad-buffered mapping applications to work smoothly on desktops and now laptops. Are you also government or with a commercial company? I get the sense that photo interpretation is something of a dying art and the trend is toward software-based feature extraction (which we're looking into as well).

GP - forgot to ask - have you used, or know someone who's used, a Neptune for quad-buffered stereo? We had specific needs, but just as importantly, a specific budget, so the the 5010M was out of the question from the beginning. The FX 2800M was the best card we could get and, like you, I also felt that it would be sufficient for the demands being placed on it. I'm really surprised no one else (Dell, HP, Toshiba) is making a 120hz laptop with a quadro option. Is it because it can't be done yet or there's just no market for it? We shall see....

Please see my update to this Quadro 3D stereo quest [url="http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=192290&view=findpost&p=1342033"]here[/url]. Though the Neptune appears to be designed primarily for 3D gaming (when ordered with the 120Hz display), it does offer a Quadro card option that is capable of quad-buffered stereo. It can also output the 120Hz 3D signal to an external monitor via its dual link DVI-D output. I know that, compared to gamers, there aren't a lot of folks out there clamoring for this option but it's nice to know it's now available.

Hey Larry,
Thanks for the responses. Photo Interp has came back to life up here in Northern Ontario. Unfortunately, there's a big gap in the workforce. I am teaching at a local college to get more photo interps graduated. The big question has been how do put together a lab without killing the budget.

thanks for all you info - I am interested in how satisfied you are with the Eurocom Neptune? Is the display bright enough and is the color gamut ok? I read this could be an issue with Eurocom notebooks.
Thanks for your help!

"Is the display bright enough and is the color gamut ok? I read this could be an issue with Eurocom notebooks."
Hi Felix. I can't speak for Eurocom's 60Hz displays but the 120Hz display looks great (more info on this display [url="http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-studio-xps/565026-inside-l702x-fhd-3d-1080p-display-panel-assembly.html"]here[/url]). It's plenty bright and the native 1920X1080 resolution gives you lots of real estate. The only drawback so far, and this is probably on me, is some slight ghosting on stereo aerial photos on the lower third of the display. The reason I say "on me" is because I looked at another set of stereo aerial photos and the ghosting had all but disappeared. Overall, we are quite happy to have a mobile, quad-buffered, 3D solution.

Also, I am wondering if the Display Port on the LAPTOP will work with stereo monitor using cable converter to DVI-D cable? I guess standard VGA connector will NOT work on the notebook...

I have had success using a Dell Percision 6500 with a Quadro 2800m card. A Display Port to DVI Dual Link apapter was required to be connected beween the laptop and the external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2233 120 Hz monitor). We the used the NVida 3d Vision glasses and emitter (IR).
The DP to DVI adapter I am using is from StarTech (dp2dvid).
I have not been able to find any laptop containing a Quatro card with internal 120 hz display as of yet (still looking).

I have not been able to find any laptop containing a Quatro card with internal 120 hz display as of yet (still looking).

I know it is a long time between when you posted this and my reply but thought it was still worth mensioning as I am sure others have had the same issue (I came across you post in google search).

If you could get Dell to put a quadro card (5000m) into the XPS 17 3D laptop, it would serve as a great workstation for GIS and AutoCAD users.... or anybody who needs quad buffered stereo. I have asked many times... maybe I'll ask again.

It would be interesting to see what kind of numbers there are for professional users who are waiting for this setup... It's a bit of a shame that the 3D Vision setup has been limited this way for laptops. I know that up here in Canada, there are 1000's of Stereoscopic GIS users who view/edit layers using stereoscopic aerial imagery. I can only imagine how many would be in the US and EU.
It seems simple... offer support for the Quadro line of cards on gaming systems, and blamo... sales would boom... on high end machines too.
Who's going to do it? not sure, but when it happens, I'm getting one.
Yes!

And it's longer time still since your reply! Just wanted to add my experience using a Dell Precision M4600 equipped with a Quadro 2000M. This laptop only has a DisplayPort output and I was hoping we could duplicate David's success using the same Startech DP to Dual Link DVI-D adapter. That success was mixed at best. We need to run a quad-buffering application called Stereo Analyst for ArcGIS (SAFA) to view and classify stereo pairs of aerial photos in 3D. We've been doing this on workstations using a variety of Quadro cards (currently using Quadro 4000) and now need to do this on a laptop to accommodate a co-worker with health issues.
We are using two 3D monitors at present - the original Samsung 2233RZ and the Acer GD235HZ and I tested both using the DP2DVID, the latest Nvidia display driver, and the 3D Vision glasses emitter. Using the Samsung, I could not get 3D as long as the laptop's display was on. However, when outputting the display to just the Samsung, I had no problem selecting a 120Hz refresh rate and viewing the full-screen 3D test via the "Run Setup Wizard". I was not so lucky with SAFA, and the 3D effect would vary. It would work great momentarily, then would invert, then would invert for only half of the image. I could never get stereo 3D to stabilze. It was the same for the Acer, though a bit more stable. Unfortunately, it was not suitable for the work we need to do.
We are going to try one more potential solution - the Eurocom Neptune, which we spec'd out with a 120Hz display and a Quadro FX 2800M - the only company that even provides these components in the same build (that I could find, anyway). Selecting this display will include a built-in emitter and 3D Vision glasses. The hope is that this combination will allow us to use SAFA on either the laptop's display or on the Samsung or Acer using the laptop's Dual Link DVI-D output. We should receive this laptop next week and I'll provide an update for those who have a similar interest in running 3D quad-buffered apps on a laptop. Wish me luck!

The Eurocom Neptune is a good solution as it has a built in Dual Link DVI port. They will try to sell you a quadro 5010m in it though... that is way overkill as a 2000m, 2800m, 3800m will work as well. Good luck with this. BTW, I am a photo interp as well... :)What company are you with?

I am a cartographer with the federal government (we map land cover/land use on federal lands) but I post here as private citizen with the same concerns as you and a few other Quadro users - namely getting our quad-buffered mapping applications to work smoothly on desktops and now laptops. Are you also government or with a commercial company? I get the sense that photo interpretation is something of a dying art and the trend is toward software-based feature extraction (which we're looking into as well).

Please see my update to this Quadro 3D stereo quest [url="http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=192290&view=findpost&p=1342033"]here[/url]. Though the Neptune appears to be designed primarily for 3D gaming (when ordered with the 120Hz display), it does offer a Quadro card option that is capable of quad-buffered stereo. It can also output the 120Hz 3D signal to an external monitor via its dual link DVI-D output. I know that, compared to gamers, there aren't a lot of folks out there clamoring for this option but it's nice to know it's now available.

Hey Larry,
Thanks for the responses. Photo Interp has came back to life up here in Northern Ontario. Unfortunately, there's a big gap in the workforce. I am teaching at a local college to get more photo interps graduated. The big question has been how do put together a lab without killing the budget.

thanks for all you info - I am interested in how satisfied you are with the Eurocom Neptune? Is the display bright enough and is the color gamut ok? I read this could be an issue with Eurocom notebooks.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Felix. I can't speak for Eurocom's 60Hz displays but the 120Hz display looks great (more info on this display [url="http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-studio-xps/565026-inside-l702x-fhd-3d-1080p-display-panel-assembly.html"]here[/url]). It's plenty bright and the native 1920X1080 resolution gives you lots of real estate. The only drawback so far, and this is probably on me, is some slight ghosting on stereo aerial photos on the lower third of the display. The reason I say "on me" is because I looked at another set of stereo aerial photos and the ghosting had all but disappeared. Overall, we are quite happy to have a mobile, quad-buffered, 3D solution.
