3DTV Play old graphic card
Hello everbody, when 3D Vision first came up the 8800 series was popular and it worked with it. I now tried to run 3DTV Play with my old system but it doesn't work and I don't get why. At first I thought DVI-D to HDMI adaptor is the problem because you have to have HDMI 1.4a BUT the manual itself says that it is possible to use one. I installed the 3DTV Play Activation Utility but it says "no 3D capable TV found". Any ideas? Would it be possible to run it with a 3D Vision kit and then use the NVidia 3D glasses and not the ones from my Samsung TV? Best regards, jnsmstg

I'm not certain about the rest of it, but I can say with some degree of confidence that 3D Vision glasses/kit will not work on a 3D TV.

Imo it should work because it perfectly fits the requirements. 120Hz (more) is the main thing to get it running. The only concern I have is that there could be some problems with DVI-D to HDMI as HDMI uses one line and DVI-D two. Even if the manual says that it works - I don't want to waste money for this old computer. But as it is a 3Ghz Quadcore, 8gb RAM and SLI it would be a shame to throw it away.

If your using Vista, support for it was dropped back around driver 310, read the driver notes to find out. Also support for the GTX 8800 has been dropped at some time or another, minimum now is GTX 480 that will soon be unsupported. Nvidia's 3D Vision emitter will act as a product key unlocking Nvidia's 3DTV Play free, otherwise it's $40 to buy. But the emitter is turned off and Nvidia's glasses can not be used. 120hz or more is not the minimum requirement. Officially ony 3D Vision certified monitors, projectors or Mitsubishi DLP TVs work with 3D Vision. Also most TVs that say they are 120Hz can only accept a 60Hz input. The 120Hz is obtained via interpolation or frame repeating.
