3D Vision - Why can't I use my existing 3DTV?
  1 / 2    
I have plugged my PC in to my 3DTV (My GTX 650 Ti is compatible), I have to run the setup wizard in NVIDIA control panel, so I run that, but I am only presented with options, most of which involve me in buying something. My 3DTV already has glasses, so I don't want to buy more from NVIDIA. Then I came across this: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/3dtv-play-vs-3d-vision-uk.html Which says that 3D Vision can't use the TV's manufacturer glasses, so I took a look at 3DTV Play, which, according to the site "* NVIDIA 3DTV Play software can be activated free to all 3D Vision™ PC owners. Download the latest Release 265 GeForce® Drivers for desktop GPUs and Release 265 Verde Notebooks drivers for notebook GPUs. The 3D Vision IR emitter is required to activate 3DTV Play software on your PC." So now the question, is it possible for me just to connect my TV to my PC and have everything working with my existing glasses, without spending more money.

Is it possible for you to just connect your TV to your PC and have everything working with your existing glasses, without spending more money? The answer is "no" 3DTV Play costs $40 as a standalone product. It is only free if you have a 3D Vision emitter or 3D Vision certified monitor attached to the PC.

D-Man is right. You'll need to purchase 3D Tv Play to play in 3d. You'll also be limited to 720p/60hz, or 1080p/24hz. 720p/60hz is far better in terms of gaming. With that card though, you might struggle to play newer games in 3d, as the performance impact can be quite significant.

/\ Sounds like processing lag. Unfortunately, you can't disable processing on TVs when engaged in 3D mode. Some TVs are obviously worse than others. But even among decent sets, it seems 3D mode always adds additional layers of lag. Sounds like you're out of luck with your set. It's been my experience that console games are designed more with TV lag in mind. So you might find some games that are more tolerable than others if you stick to console ports. Although 300ms is pretty lousy unless your standards are really low (in the control department).

@adrianos The delay is because you're playing at 1080/24hz (and the desktop is enabled in to 3D mode at 1080/24) Try using 720p/60 Also recommend to label that Input to "PC".

Might also be 1080p24 ... that might appear laggy to someone also, I know it does to me. If so, you could try lowering the resolution to 720p60. edit: Bah! Ninja'd by DHR .. while flipping through tabs ... :)

Lag can be reduced on some 3D HDTVs by choosing either "Game" or "PC" mode. On some, you can rename the HDMI input. Any post processing features used will add to your lag, turn off as many as you can. I suggest referring to your owner's manual.

3DTV Play has a trial though, so you can check it out to see it in action. Make sure to enable the convergence controls to get the scene to look the way you want it and use the depth hotkeys to of course.

There were several suggestions posted. Try and activate a "game" mode if your TV has one, or disable any processing (like smoothmotion type things).

[quote="Pirateguybrush"]Edid hacks won't affect input lag.[/quote] They can, if they allow the Display to be fed it's native stereoscopic format. For example a passive 3D HDTV receives a non native format from 3DTV Play. If an override is used enable Optomized for GeForce, it receives "native" line-interleaved and does not require that the format be post processed.
