91.28 stereo driver feedback lets help Nvidia to make a better stereo
  2 / 5    
I´ve got flickering-problems like i´ve had with each driver > 77.77
Special GTL isn´t playable for me.

Tested games:

Live for Speed - it´s playable, got some flickering (77.77 is perfect)
GTL - flickering is horror, tiny speed-advantage with new driver
HL2 - it´s playable, got some flickering (77.77 is perfect)
Far Cry - it´s playable, got some flickering (77.77 close to be perfect) - huge problems, by loading a saved game (system crash by 80% - reboot & retry will fix it)

I went back to 77.77... A bad surprise was/is the new UI - hope the "classic-interface" will never go as option; sorry, i know how much work it is,but i don´t like it.

Yeah the new Ui is like an insult, I guess they wanted to make things "idiotproof". It is terribly restricting - there is no access to most of the options available in the classic one. But I guess Nvidia thinks we are getting more and more stupid by the minute and wants to finish the job :D.

Just Tested Doom 3. Worked once I removed some of the FX and turned on VSync. Much to my surpirse, it didnt lock once (yet).

Seems nice so far, Oblivion working well, LFS working (just a quick test)

But there's a problem: I simply can't get the stereo working in netKar Pro. It just does not work (does not switch on).

Well I ran some Test on a Few Favorite Games here is the result:

Total Air War: (F22 Sim) Graphic Artifacts Screen Flashing Both eyes unplayable. EDIT: It did the flashing without Stereo Enabled as well could be a Main Driver Issue

Lock On Flaming Cliffs Worked Well 3d wise Framerates still low could use a boost in stereo but Playable

Doom 3: Some Artifacts in right Eye and the right eye shuterglass seemed to be on all the time didnt turn Off & On

Quake: (YES the Original) CTD & get an error report NOT Playable

Falcon 4 Allied force: Seemed OK slight graphic gliche

HalfLife: BSOD Device Driver got Stuck in an Infinite loop (that was part of the BSOD Message) when enabling Stereo on the Start Screen BUT worked after I enabled when the game had already started.

The Drivers need some work I thought it was gonna be mostly the OLDer games that where gonna have issues but it is a mixed bag.

OK after more testing (netkar was not working because on card change it re-set itself to windowed mode)
so now I can say, for me the following works flawless:
- LFS
- NkPro
- GTL
- Oblivion

i'm a happy chap :)

I´ve major fllickering problems with GTL and new drivers.
Please, post your system-specs. and GTL-Settings, so i can
see the difference to my system/settings.

I would like to use newer drivers, because i get some fps-improvement in gtl.

The only game not working for me is Klingon Academy, the game does not even detect any video hardware this is the first driver that I have seen this problem with. Painkiller has flickering but looks much better, overall big improvement on image quality for everything. Farcry is no better, still getting a light streak on the left side of the game, I can get rid of it by adjusting the convergence but no 3d then. All other new games are playing better then ever. I was surprised to find Combat Flight Sim and Rogue Squadron are playing better then ever, the first stereo beta I have found that will play them without trouble. I might stick with the 91.28's for a while and just load the 78.01's for KA. I'm off to try Comanche 4 and Fair Strike.

That KA is a real b*tch!

I think it's more a Forceware than a stereo problem. Something to do with DirectX 7 or 8 limitations.

Anyone know if HDR is supported in this driver?

Anyone have BF2 SpecialForces settings recommendations?

Chopper

I don't use antialiasing (makes no difference in 3D anyway)
usually using 1280x960x120Hz for 3D games
what else do you want to know? There are a zillion settings all around the place in GTL but they should not cause flickering. maybe a lower frame rate, but not flickering.

Battlefield 2:
- Sometimes the screen flickers;
- when the menu is at screen depth the icons of the players are too because they are rendered at HUD depth;
- when the menu at screen depth the gun is renderered in front of the menu and HUD which makes it very hard to aim down your sight;
- the nvidia target icon vanishes against the sky;

Solution place HUD and nametags before any game information at screen depth, the HUD is not part of the 3D-game. This will help focusing on player icons too and your gun aim vision will improve.

I really hate to come here and whine I really do.

But is it possible to get stereo3d with newer drivers then 78.01 if you run 2x7800 GT in SLI?

I now installed the 91.28 and now the test program and everything works flawless. Just like they used on my 6800 ULTRA.

But when I launch games like GTR, GTL (that has worked flawless before. LOMAC also it hangs...

If I disable SLI it takes longer to hang but it still does. You get stereo3d working but it hangs as soon as a 3d model is to be displayed.

KOTOR 2 I got to run at least but looks junk and doesn´t really work either. SWAT 4 the system reboots when trying to load.

Is there any magic settings to get it to run? If I can just get it to run in GTR/GTL already that is all I need to be happy but I can´t run a single game in stereo3d mode anymore. I used to be able to do that with the majority on my 6800 ULTRA...

thx for info - perhaps it´s my 6800 gt?

Have you activated the incar-view with wheel and driver? If i activate this, the flickering went up and game isn´t playable anymore. Without wheel and driver the flickering will be better, but still not playable...

The remainding gfx-options in gtl hasn´t an affect on flickering.
