So I recently acquired my 3d-ready screen (the 120Hz Acer GD245HQ). I already had my drivers installed prior to getting the 3d screen (the latest, I believe 257.21). Upon connecting the IR emitter I had a few issues with getting the drivers, but eventually I used the driver (just the one for the emitter) from my CD that came with the 3D kit. I disconnected every other monitor and left just my Acer connected. I made sure it's running 120Hz and then i started the setup guide.
Now I get all the way to the glasses setup part, where 3D is enabled. As soon as I hit that part (where it goes 3D) I get a warning. I can't finish the setup (I have to cancel it) but I can enable 3D (ticking the option in the control panel). Once enabled, I run the test 3D application and I see the warning again:

Now 3D kind of works, but is out of sync (glasses seem to have a slight delay when switching eyes, in the setup part with the shapes I can see a light shape that I shouldn't be seeing on either the left or right eye. So I'm wondering are there any workarounds, known bugs or anything? And what can I do to sync the glasses (emitter) with the screen? And should there be no fix, is there any way to forcibly remove the warning?
I'm running a decent PC, but I have issues with 4-way gtx480 SLI (read here: [url="http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=172174"]?showtopic=172174[/url]).

[quote name='Obone' post='1078438' date='Jun 26 2010, 07:15 PM']Did you use the special DVI wire that came with the nVidia 3D kit ?[/quote]
If by "special DVI wire" you mean the dual link DVI, then yes, I used it (I believe that I wouldn't be able to run 120Hz without it, since 60Hz on a 1080p screen takes far more than 50% of a normal DVI's bandwidth?).

I thought you would have, just wanted to rule it out.
I'd go back to the beginning mate, delete all nVidia drivers, install these [url="http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-257.21-whql-driver.html"]drivers[/url], before you do that though, it might be wise to go down to 1 or 2 480's, I know it sounds mad, but imo you want a working set-up so you can troubleshoot better, and hopefully get up to 3 or 4 GPU's.
Man that's one mighty rig you got there.
P.S. my sigs wrong atm, I've a 480 and a 280 for PhysX in atm and 3D is working well.

I already tried single 480 (physically single, my PC is on a nice rack :P), 2-way and 3-way with both the latest (257.21) geforce drivers and the modded 258.49 drivers.

When you uninstall your NVIDIA drivers, make sure you uninstall everything before rebooting. Display driver first, get PhysX, 3D Vision and anything else in there too. Make sure you're using the 3D Vision display driver and emitter driver that are intended to be used together. Try a different USB cable/port for the emitter.
If it's still not working, RMA the glasses and emitter, and then the display.

Will try 2-way SLI tomorrow first thing and I'll try setting it on a new OS. I'm using the USB cable I got with the kit, I tried changing ports (all the way from the ports directly on mobo, a hub and my usb 3 ports). And sorry for the delayed response.
