Precision M6600 - 3D Vision
Hi All,

Looking at purchasing an M6600 precision laptop with the Quadro 5010M graphics module very soon and would like to know if it is compatible with 3D vision? I have a BenQ W710ST projector and would like to use it with this laptop. If the built-in screen can't do it but the projector can, I'll be happy with that...

Thanks!
Tim

Hi Tim,

Just curious - any news on this? Are you running full-screen progams such as games or windowed apps requiring quad-buffering? I tried the latter on a Precision M6400 and you can read the specifics in this [url="http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=179152&view=findpost&p=1322550"]thread/post[/url]. Bottom line - using a windowed GIS program, I could output 120Hz to a 3D monitor but I couldn't get a stable 3D image using a USB-powered DisplayPort-to-DVI-D adapter. The Quadro 2000M, however, was compatible with 3D Vision. I did not try the HDMI option your mileage/app may vary.

Hi BigLars,

I haven't tried this yet... and haven't had any luck finding any really helpful info yet either.

I don't really expect the internal display of the M6600 to support 120hz but if I can connect a display via HDMI and run it at 720p it would be sufficient for what I want to do. The ability to run 3D apps when docked would enable the M6600 to completely replace my desktop which is what I am aiming for.

Cheers,
Tim

You might be able to pull this off then, using an [url="http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/3d.aspx"]HDMI 1.3/1.4 cable[/url] with either a 3DTV or 3D projector. This will probably only work at 720/1080p for full-screen games and movies though. If you want to run windowed 3D apps I don't think the M6600 will work unless you can get the USB-powered DP-to-DVI-D adapter to do the trick and output to 3D monitor. The 5010M looks like an awesome card and may have enough brawn to push and sync all those pixels over the DisplayPort. I'd love to know if you had more success than I did. Good luck!
