Hello, I create this topic because I have a serious issue with Nvidia 3D Vision, and I didn't find any good solution on the web. If you want to answer, please read ALL the message, because I tried lots of solutions that didn't work, even complicated ones.
First of all I precise I have all the necessary accessories to use Nvidia 3D Vision : -an Acer predator gn246hlbbid monitor, 3D Vision Ready, compatible with 3D Lightboost
-The Nvidia 3D Vision 2 kit (two pairs of glasses, a emitter, they all work)
-My laptop is a GL752VW, with Windows 10, a GTX 960M and the latest gefroce experience drivers (please [b]don't talk me about drivers[/b], I tried all of them, recent ones, old ones, I updated them in the peripherals manager, uninstalled and reinstalled them lots of times)
-I contacted Asus, but they quickly "gave up" and told me to send my laptop to their services... But they told me I could pay 75€ if they thought I had made a bad utilisation of my laptop. Which is of course not the case, but I do not want to take this risk, I am a student and I need my laptop.
-I only have HDMI and mini-displayport connectors, so I use the HDMI one (some people say Nvidia 3D vision doesn't work with it, but I verified, it is possible, at least in 720p, which is not a huge problem for me, don't talk me about expensive active mini-displayport to DVI-D adapters, I'm not going to buy one of them)
Here is the issue : In the Nvidia control panel, I don't have any option to activate stereoscopic 3D or to change my screen resolution/frequence.
IMPORTANT : Please read this before answering, I tried to list all the solutions I found on the net (of course I tried all of them several times), without success.
-Uninstall and reinstall the drivers : PLEASE DON'T TALK ABOUT DRIVERS, I TRIED ALL OF THEM ! Unless you have a magic driver (that's to say NOT the latest one, I have already installed it) that can make appear 3D stereoscopic option in the control panel
-Right click on the Desktop screen, click on Nvidia Control Panel... : I am not a noob, I know how to open Nvidia or Intel Control panels, and there are ONLY 3 OPTIONS on the left : "Adjust image settings with preview", "Manage 3D Settings" and "Set PhysX Configuration"
-Change the monitor frequence : I can't use frequences above 75Hz. And yes, I went in Windows and Intel graphics parameters, and NO, even in 720p, 480p and other resolutions I can't use the screen at 120Hz (I kwon I can't go to 144Hz with HDMI, it doesn't matter because I only want to use 3D)
-Shut down the computer, connect the monitor, turn on the computer, turn on the monitor, use only the monitor (that's to say disable my laptop's screen) : I did it several times, before and after installing or reinstalling the drivers, it doesn't work
-Activate the Nvidia graphic card for all the games and applications that can use stereoscopic 3D in the Nvidia control panel : PowerDVD detects my 3D screen, but when I launch a 3D movie the software splits the screen and disables 3D. Other applications and games don't detect the emitter or the glasses
-Connect and deconnect (and reconnect ) the emitter : it turns on a few minutes, then flashes a few seconds and shuts down. As for the glasses, when I push the button the little green/yellow light turns on a few seconds, then it shuts down
-Connect only the emitter and deconnect all other USB peripherals, then shut down and turn on the laptop : I tried all the USB ports, without success
This screenshot from google seems like mine : almost no options. For PhysX parameters I have almost the same screen, but I only have HDMI and mini-displayport connectors on the intel graphic card (both my laptop and monitor screens are connected to these intel graphic card connectors):

Thanks for your answer, my monitor seems to be a part of the problem, I think I will change it, but how to explain that HDMI and mini-displayport are connected to my Intel Graphics card in PhysX parameters ?
Besides I found many cheap asus vg248qe on a website in my country ( from particular to particular), the three cost about 150€ each (a little more expensive in dollars), and I'm going to build a computer with a 1080 Ti. Do you think the GTX will be able to use them in 3D Surround, if yes with which connectors ? 3x DP, or 2x DP and 1 DVI ? There is the GTX model : https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Graphic-GV-N108TAORUS-X-11GD/dp/B06XXJL3HM/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511343410&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Gigabyte+AORUS+GeForce+GTX+1080+Ti+XTREME+Edition%2C+11+Go
Another question : I know it is possible to play in 4K 60 fps to recent games with the 1080 Ti (I'll play SW Battlefront II, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Resident Evil 7, maybe The Division and Destiny 2 later), so I wondered, with these 3 screens I'll theoretically have 1080 x 1920 x3, that's to say "3K". If we add 3D, it should be (always in theory) about 50% more demanding, or 3K x 1,5 = "4,5K". So will the GTX 1080 Ti be able to run GRW (I love this game :) in 3D Surround with all graphics to the maximum ?
Last question : I have two pairs of 3D glasses, will it be pleasant to play in surround with someone else watching the game at the same time ? I know TN screens have a bad field of view, but if the screens on the side are juste a little darker, it's ok for me.

This guide contains everything you need to get this working. However if both ports are showing as connected to your intel graphics card, it will not work. Give up now and don't spend money changing the monitor or buying cables and adaptors. I'm sorry, but this might be a dead end.
Even if they were connected to the nVidia card, 3D over HDMI is possible to TVs and projectors, but many monitors don't support it. I don't know for certain about yours, but this is the case with most of them. You would need to use the mini display port and get an active adaptor - I know you don't want to, but you may not have a choice.
As for building a PC, go for the DVI connectors. You should be aware though that none of the games you listed work natively in 3D Vision, and there are no community patches in development. The Division has a partial solution, but it's not perfect. Multiplayer games are rarely fixed in 3D, for three reasons. The first is that they are regularly patched by the developers, and this almost always breaks all the hard work put in by the community fixers. It's not worth their time to re-fix the same games over and over again. The second is that the process of fixing games requires you to stand still in-game and work on identifying shaders that need fixing, then testing various things to fix them. That is very difficult when people are trying to kill you. Finally, 3D fixes involve modifying parts of the game. It's possible for anti-cheat systems to incorrectly flag this as cheating, so fixing a game (or playing a fixed game in multiplayer) carries a risk of getting banned.

Thanks, anyway you are right, I think I am not going to invest in 3D material for my laptop, moreover I will surely always use 3D with my new computer.
As for these games, I read that most of bugs in 3D came from shadows or some particular effects that could be either disabled or patched. And it does not matter for me to disable a few of them, if the game works... If not, I always have surround and 144Hz.
Concerning the connectors, what do you mean by DVI ? I am going to buy a GTX 1080 Ti with 3 DP and 1 DVI, but I will use either 2 DP and the DVI, or the 3 DP. Theoretically both should give the same result, but I wondered if 3 DP would not be more efficient, or easier for the graphic card. So according to you connecting the DVI port and 2 DP (for 3D/normal surround) is the better way to use the 3 screens at the same time ?
Do you have any idea/opinion for the other questions ?

Newer games have more complex shaders, and more of them. You probably won't be able to disable enough in those games for it to look acceptable. I recommend checking the helixmod blog and trying the games in there. Not to mention the fact that while disabling effects using helixmod/3dmigoto is possible for the intermediate PC user, there is a learning curve, and it takes some work.
For the DP/DVI question, I believe using both is better, though I may be wrong. Someone else can probably clarify this.
You can probably play GWR in 3D surround on a 1080TI, but you will have some visual issues in 3D, and need to turn down some settings. I wouldn't recommend it, and your framerates at maximum settings will probably not be great.
3D is usually 100% more demanding, as you need to render twice the frames. This is highly variable between games though.
There should be no problem with someone else watching.

Thank you very much, maybe will I come back to talk about my experience with the GTX 1080 Ti and 3D on different games. I am particularly impatient to try Resident Evil 6, Left 4 Dead 2 and Borderlands 2 in 3D AND in local coop with a friend, they are apparently very good in both domains.
