CD v1.25 (GeForce GPU driver v197.45, NVIDIA 3D Vision driver v197.45)

When I try to activate 3d Vision, I get the following two errors:

Error in Stereo NvAPI,

Any ideas?

System setup:

BFG Geforce 285 x 2 SLI

Was all working fine last night with the previous drivers.[/quote]
Wait. What drivers did you install? CD 1.27 IS the new driver, but you indicated that you installed CD 1.25. So I don't really understand you're problem. Though I did get that same exact error message this morning when I tried to mix and match the 257.15 graphics drivers with the 197.45 usb driver.

Seriously? WTH. I can't start Just Cause 2 in fullscreen with these drivers and it runs at, like, 5 fps. Does NVidia even test this crap.... :angry:

[quote name='Xerion404' post='1061115' date='May 24 2010, 03:54 PM']With the 1.27 CD drivers, Fallout 3 will only start without a crash if I disable SLI. Metro 2033 won't start even then, but always crashes on start. Any ideas?[/quote]

I am seeing no improvements in 3D on Metro 2033 and Just Cause 2 actually runs a lot worse for some reason. I wasted 4 hours uninstalling, running driver sweeper, and re-installing these drivers twice now. Maybe the 2D performance is better but I am disappointed with the 3D performance so far. I may end up going up to the 197 series tomorrow when I get home from work.

In Just Cause 2 with 3-way SLI and 3D vision I am noticing that my GPU usage is around the 50+ mark but my FPS is hovering around 30 FPS. This FPS is much worse than before. I will try messing with the options. I am downloading Metro 2033 now.

ame with me dude. Im also running tri 480s,
and i recently purchased a 980x (4.4ghz 24/7)
cause i thought that was the bottleneck, but it
wasnt, same loe gpu usage. I have further bad
news, I actually created a 32 bit partion and
installed the 256.76 drivers that enables surround. Firstly the drivers are buggy as hell,
but in 3d surround the gpu usage is still
hovering around the 50%, and fps are low 20s.
In regular surround the gpu usage hovers
around the 60% and fps around 60. I dont
understand why a resolution of 5760x1080 would not utilise atleast 80% of each gpu. I
hope nvidia fixes this issue via there next
drivers. Every single driver after the 480
launch has given me low utilisation across all
3 cards. The only software that stresses my gpus and
90% usage is heaven, and MW2 (frames of
over 400 when it does). Atleast with the leaked drivers, u are able to
attach one dvi cable per gpu (if running 3-way SLI),
so surround does infact support 3-way SLI, but
obviously still in beta phase. The performance
as mentioned earlier needs some serious
optimisation, low gpu usage across all 3 cards in res 5760x1080. I even disabled on gpu and
just ran regular sli, and still low gpu usage in
both 3d surround and regular surround. On a side note, 3d surround is the most
amazing thing. We just need some good
drivers now.
