Does 3D Vision work with new 120Hz Notebooks (EDID?)
Hello, the new generation of Gaming Notebooks sometimes offer displays with 120Hz. I'm currently considering to buy e.g. the MSI GE72VR (http://msi.com/Laptop/GE72VR-6RF-Apache-Pro.html). I would like to ask if anyone knows if such a 120Hz display could work with 3D Vision e.g. with an EDID (e.g. with one of those posted on the 3D Vision Blog http://3dvision-blog.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2388). Although I know that a 1060 could be limited, but that would be fine for me. If anyone knows a different notebook with a display that is 3D Vision capable, any other suggestions are fine. Or does the display necessarily have to be a certified 3D Vision Display, because all the notebooks listed on http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-notebooks.html are very old and not capable of playing modern 3D games and are usually not very mobile at all. I'm really enjoying playing 3D on my local rig at home (GTX 1080 with Asus 27 3D Monitor, 60" 3D TV with 3D TV Play and Acer H5360BD) but as need a new notebook for work and I'm going on holidays soon, it would be great if modern mobile 3D Vision notebooks, could finally come true. If anyone has experience with this, any feedback is welcome. And at last, I would like to thank the helixmod community (helifax, DHR, 4everawake, DJ-RK, DarkstarSword, bo3b, mike_ar69, flugan, eqzitara, ...) so much for creating so many fantastic 3D fixes over the years. Without you 3D Vision would already be dead for a long time.

I'm not sure if a EDID would do the trick, but the problem that you'll most likely run into is that your integrated display is routed off of a CPU video output and not the discrete Nvidia GPU. This is known as Optimus technology and is aimed out preserving battery run time. It's because of this that you would also be unlikely to run an external stereoscopic display with Nvidia's stereoscopic driver. http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html Look at the 4th pic in this thread, you can see the integrated display is connected to the Intel Graphics. At the same time, you can see that luckily, he has a Display Port output from the Nvidia GPU. Thus allowing the use of an external stereoscopic display. More times than not, we had users post with laptops that all of their video outputs were routed off of the Intel graphics chip, with nothing out of the GPU. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/571045/ So you'd definitely want to put your hands on it in a store first and check it out.

i think 120Hz+ laptops still can't use optimus for the very reason that the intel GPU doesn't support the frame rates. Doesn't answer the OPs question, but at least it's one potential issue off the list.
