[quote name='andrewf@nvidia' post='986697' date='Jan 22 2010, 04:27 PM']Can you try this for me. Browse to the NVIDIA Control Panel and disable Stereoscopic 3D from there. Then try running your games and see if Quad SLI is working via the visual indicators. That way we can isolate if its a Quad SLI issue or a 3D Vision issue.[/quote]
That was the first thing i tested. Quad sli works flawlessly when stereo 3d is disabled. Sli visual indicator comes up in every game, performance is perfect, and temps are consistent on all cards. def a 3d issue.

when i ran the new 1.20 it says i dont have the proper os installed BUT the green light is on the emitter AND I was playing 3d and in the nv contoll panel I did not even have an option to turn it on or off, there was no stereoscopic setup in the list. I kept getting error messages about wrong os (not vista or win 7). What ever i can still play 3d and wil fix later lol. PS i dont have sli just wanted to share :)

[quote name='Muppet' post='986849' date='Jan 22 2010, 09:41 PM']There is another set at Nvidia. Same date as the 1.20. These are named 1.18a though. You may want to give these a try.

VSD well said and true, but I hoped for better from Nvidia, foolish me, as to fix the detection problem is obviously just a matter of correctly assembling their driver with the detection entries from 1.15 and adding the newer profiles, at least until 1.20 as the feature sets were unchanged. I say obvious because overwriting the 3D drivers after 1.15 with 1.15 fixes the detection issue for many if setting up through control panel after rebooting. This method also works for the 196.21 geforce drivers (tried before 3d driver released and worked again). In 1.20 they claim new features so there is more reason for difficulties but not for the ratcrap result wherein the new features dont work and features available in earlier releases no longer work WTF!!
The fact that they can not seem to even assemble a viable universal driver now does not make sense unless nvidia does not really have or is not allocating any suitable resources to their existing product driver development team except for token 'throw away'statements that they are working on it, fixed it, or shocked that it is not working etc. I understand that this is a very difficult time for nvidia as their management has made such a lot of worse than poor decisions recently that have effectively limited the markets for their products; no geforce cards for physx on ATI systems or 3D Vision glasses for other 3D software packages, and Fermi (great goal but how long before it will have a 'real' advantage for most desktop users, the big and hot monolithic R600 screwed ATI until this generation despite having advanced but then useless features like programmable tesstallation). Combined these circumstances have put a lot of strain on Nvidia and its' partners cash flow and available resources which have just taken an even greater hit from the International Trade Commission ruling they they have infringed 3 Rambus patents in the memory controller of their geforce and tesla cards which will be very expensive (similar lesser infrigements just cost Samsung $900 million) and result in Nvidia having to withdraw from the American and other markets (no Fermi release), and effectively blacklisted them from friendly investment.
Due to the failing of Nvidia's product support and the minimal chance that things will get better this year even if fermi is fast, cool, reasonablty priced and has unresticted markets I just sold 1 of my 295s (good price too) and plan to get rid of my other one and glasses soon while they are still worth something and can contribute to purchasing updated glasses and alternative hardware. These opinions are given for members to consider, I wish those that stay with Nvidia goodluck, you need it, and try not to grovel to or elevate those who consistently and probably knowingly only placate, tease of give you token scraps.

TBH that's my plan all along, the moment there's a viable alternative I'm there, but that's expected of all consumers in general over the life of a poorly support & integrated product. Meanwhile I have to satisfy this S-3D addiction and like they say, we have to make the best of a bad situation somehow, anh trying to get the driver fixed asap by giving Nv all info they might need to track down the bug seems the right path.

For now nvidias solution is the best i think. But there are other like iz3d,ddd,vuzix but with problems nvidia dont have. The year of 3d has just begun. The other big player in GPU market seems to have build an alliance to push 3d to the end consumer too and what they had anounced looks like better solutions and more open for different display types as a standard. Time will tell... I feel loyality with a company that gave me hundres or thousand of hours fun in playing games in 3d where no other did this. That thanks goes especially to Elsas team :)
I hope Nvidia and their employes ship their ship through the rough sea of the early new decade.

For now nvidias solution is the best i think. But there are other like iz3d,ddd,vuzix but with problems nvidia dont have. The year of 3d has just begun. The other big player in GPU market seems to have build an alliance to push 3d to the end consumer too and what they had anounced looks like better solutions and more open for different display types as a standard. Time will tell... I feel loyality with a company that gave me hundres or thousand of hours fun in playing games in 3d where no other did this. That thanks goes especially to Elsas team :)
I hope Nvidia and their employes ship their ship through the rough sea of the early new decade.
