Need help setting up 3D Vision
Hi, I know this is a common issue, but after going through all the other possible solutions, I am still without 3D Vision.

This is the error message, I am sure you are all familiar with, that I am getting:

"Warning: Attempt to run Stereoscopic 3D in a non-stereo display mode, please change to an acceptable mode. See documentation for acceptable Stereoscopic 3D modes".

I have this in red writing while trying to setup the 3D vision from the control panel. I don't know what information you need from me, so please let me know.

Some random info

I think the problem may have something to do with the monitor. It's currently set up at 1920x1080, and the screen refresh rate is 60hz (I cannot raise the refresh rate higher than that). I think I am suppose to have it at 120hz? I don't understand why I can't raise the screen refresh rate if I am using a 3D monitor ... It's a brand new 23" Asus 3D monitor.

- I am using dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560's
- I have "Maximize 3D performance" selected on the NVIDIA Control Panel.
- The IR Emitter is bright green when trying to configure the 3D vision, and I can see the glasses flicker when going to the test screen (green hexagons and blue triangles) but I can still see both hexagons and triangles in the glasses. The problem may also be the glasses ... sometimes they don't seem to do anything, but I charged them, and I can see the green light on top.

So, basically I think my issue is probably something to do with the display settings. I don't know how to fix these, as I cannot seem to change the screen refresh rate from 60hz to 120hz. If anyone has this Asus 23" 3D monitor, please tell me how to fix this.

If you need more information, let me know!

Is the game's resolution the same as your desktop resolution? I get this error message whenever my game is set at a different resolution than my desktop res.

I haven't been able to get past setting it up in the NVIDIA Control Panel. I can't pass the "Run Setup Wizard". I'm pretty sure it's the display settings. In both my PC display and NVIDIA display settings, they are at 60hz. I have all the right cables, but I can't seem to achieve this 120hz. Seems like a complete waste of money so far.

Aah i see. So you're unable to simply set your monitors refresh rate to 120hz?

1. Right click your desktop
2. nvidia control panel
3. change resolution
4. choose native resolution of your monitor (1680x1050 or 1920x1080 or something similar)
5. choose refresh rate 120hz

does that not work?

Unfortunately not, I tried both 1680x1050 and 1920x1080, and the refresh rate won't go higher than 59hz. There is an option just below that says, "customize," but when I choose the display settings I want, my monitor just goes black then reverts to 1920x1080 with a refresh rate of 59hz. I feel like there is a simple solution and I'm just missing it haha.

are you using a dual dvi-d cable (to get 120 hz)? maybe Windows is recognizing your monitor like a generic one.

First step. If your monitor truly supports 120hz refresh rate. Then you need to fix that first. Get it set to 120. Call your monitor tech support and get it resolved. Maybe there is a driver you need for your monitor. Maybe the monitor is so new? Then once you can do that make sure the desktop res and game res is the same and that should solve your problem. But either way i'd like to hear back on your progress. I was gonna buy a new monitor here soon /wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

I have my douhbt that your using the right cable..
You say you do,but are you 100% sure ?

You need a cable that has all the pins it can have ,..if your not sure then google dual dvi...
What is the name of that Asus monitor...?

@Fguillotine

I am not actually using a dual dvi cable ... it's a dvi to hdmi. I just figured the dvi to hdmi was supposed to give me a 120hz refresh rate! Is that the problem then?

@jenson

I was going to call the tech support for the monitor, but Fguillotine and Ferry both say that I need a dual dvi cable. I didn't know I needed that cable, so I think I will try that first. I will report back if it works!

@Ferry

Well no I'm not 100% sure, but I kind of assumed it was the right cable because it came with the monitor and said on the package that it was supposed to be for 3D vision. Is the dual dvi cable required because I am using dual graphics cards? The dvi on the dvi to hdmi cable has all the pins, but I'll try a dual dvi cable like you suggested.

The monitor is a 23" LCD 1920x1080 -- ASUS VG236H 3D-ready 120Hz, and it comes with the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision Bundle (that's why I assumed I had all the right cables haha).

Before I go and buy this dual dvi cable, can you guys just confirm that I do indeed need this cable?

Thanks for the help!

Okay, I've looked around and I think this is definitely the problem! My next question is, do I need a dual dvi cable, or a dual-link DVI adapter? I'm confused between the two.

You just need a dual link cable...
Don't use adapters or converters...

There must be a cable provided with the monitor that's dual divi...
Just don't plug it in the HDMI connector !

Okay, so the problem was indeed the Dual DVI cable. As soon as I hooked it up, I changed the display settings to 120Hz, and it worked perfectly. I feel silly now having spent so much time searching for such an easy solution, but the fact that I now have it working is well worth the effort. Thank you all for your suggestions and help, I greatly appreciate it. If I ever have a problem in the future, I know the perfect forum to ask for help :)

Thanks!
