Yes. It works ... But: On my Quadro FX 750 it does not cooperate with the DIN-3 connector ... It is neccery to disable the standard OpenGl stereoscopy to make the Wrapped OpenGL stereoscopy work ... The nVida StereoBLK sdk does not work with this drivers = Winx3D will not probably work as well ... No still image viewer included ... | ||

In order to get it to work with the onboard DIN connector you need to set the "StereoViewerType" (just search for it) in the registry to 0x000400c0. Then the DIN connector will be driven. Also the workstation stereo must be off. Still image viewer is available from the main stereo control panel page. | ||

I tested 45.23 with my G4Titanium128 on XP/SP1 but what i get was simply no pageflipping only pure interlaced and WIN3D not working as well in pageflip. Thats all crap. Shame on nVidia! Why is there a VREX logo in the panel? Maybe thats why it is crap - because VRex is maybe involved..? Detonator 44.71 works well with Stereo drv 44.03 but of course not with Tomb6. I hoped interlaced would die out but what i must detect was hopefully not a wrong trend. | ||

If your panel shows a VREX logo, it means you have a "StereoViewerType" setting for VREX interlaced mode. If you want page flipped stereo, then change this setting in the registry(just search for it) to 1(for DDC type page flipped stereo). Then you should see a picture of the Shutter glasses instead of the VREX logo. | ||

Thanks Anonymous for the hint. Ok i have tested 45.23 again. Works ok in pf; win3d drv works too and i found out that when you change settings in nvstview it may changed the registry value for stereoviewertype. Thats why i see again the vrex logo. After correction in registry its ok again. Hmm the nvstview picture stereo viewer of the stereo driver is not so funny because slide show functionality is crap and causes trouble on my machine. Instead use StereoPhotoMaker now with direct nVidia Stereo support. WIN3D drv never more neccessary. You can download StereoPhotoMaker (the best StereoPhoto program for pageflipping now available!) from my site: http://www.WOW3D.net too there look into the NEWS section and go to download the zip. nVidia should contact the author for integration of SPM into its stereo driver setup. Then nVidia is unbeatable. | ||

Perfect !!! Registry setting of StereoViewerType to 0x000400c0 really activate the DIN-3 on Quadro ... And the stereo-viewer is there ... But why does the StereoBLK SDK produce totaly corrputed image (tested under w2k) ? Any update available ? | ||

GeForce2 Go and GeForce 4xxx Go products require an external monitor that meets the requirements for page flip stereo viewing. • Quadro (including any Quadro2 or Quadro FX products) Quadro2 Go and Quadro4 GoGL products require an external monitor that meets the requirements for page flip stereo viewing. • Multiscan monitor4 5capable of at least a 100 Hz vertical sync refresh rate at 640x480. (For page flip stereo viewing.) • Pentium® 90 MHz or greater, but also refer to specific game requirements. • 8 MB System Memory, but also refer to specific game requirements. • Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® 95, Windows 98, or Windows® Me, with DirectX® 8 or later runtime installed. • The NVIDIA DetonatorTM FX (v45.23) or later driver must be installed. • Compatible Stereoscopic Viewing System • Page Flip Stereo - The NVIDIA 3D Stereo Driver can be used with a number of stereo eyewear models as well as certain auto-stereoscopic LCD or flat panel displays. • Anaglyph Stereo - The NVIDIA 3D Stereo Driver can be configured for anaglyph stereo viewing. The default orientation and color is left-eye-red and right-eye-blue. Some eyewear may require additional configuring of its hardware in order to work properly. Consult the manufacturer’s Web site and documentation for instructions on how to configure the hardware to work with the NVIDIA 3D Stereo Driver. A list of compatible viewing products can be found at the NVIDIA website www.nvidia.com, in the 3D Stereo section under driver downloads. The listed products have been tested and verified by NVIDIA to work without requiring additional hardware configuring. 3. OpenGL stereo is not supported on the TNT family of products. 4. The 3D Stereo Driver in page flip mode is not designed for LCDs or flat panel displays, with the exception of those that are auto-stereoscopic. For notebooks, an external monitor can be connected and used to view page flip mode stereo. 5. With the 3D Stereo Driver in anaglyph mode, stereo images can be viewed on a flat panel LCD. | ||

samh: This driver works perfectly with Quadro (my 750 XL). All Quadro function including the workstation level stereosopy are functional. If you want to use the stereo wrappers you must: 1) Disable the worstation OPenGL stereo quad buffering support (to make the wrappesrs compatioble with OpenGL) 2)Set "StereoViewerType" (just search for it) in the registry to 0x000400c0 (to activate the wrappers output to the DIN-3 connectror) ... With the DIN-3 connector functional for both standard OpenGL stereoscopyc and the wrapped OpenGL/Direct3D stereoscopy the Quadro is probably the best stereo-capable card on the market ... | ||

What basic driver version(the non-stereo component) are the quadro people using? The nvidia stereoscopic.. I think its called the users guide - says that you must use the same version number basic driver and stereoscopic driver. Sam | ||

hello guys... i am new here (from croatia), so dont be cruel to me :-) i have an asus gf4 ti4400 deluxe, and have a problem... as you all know, asus doestn make any drivers to support the 3d glasses, so i installed the new nvidia drivers 45.23 with stereo support, but: on my glasses, one "eye" is full black, and the other is clear... nothing happening (with asus drivers 31.40 (just they worked fine) i sow fliping black from one eye to another..) in the registry i changed stereo viewer type to 2 but then when i go to test mode, my comp stop responding.. so, i hope you understand me, and please help me.... thanks | ||

Hook your monitor up to the DVI port using the adpater cable that came with your card. Your glasses should always shutter reguardless of the driver provider. | ||

Hi altough the 45.23 combo works very fine on my PC I noticed strange behaviour in a few game for example in "X2 - The Threat" demo the framerate drops at 50% (like stereo mode is active) if the stereo is "enable with hotkey" (but NOT currently in use) I must set "disabled" to play at 100% speed maybe this can help someone bye Gio | ||

The stereo driver version 45.23 does not support directX 9. Vertex and pixel shaders are not enabled in stereomode in Star Wars Galaxies. Depressing. | ||

I posted the previous message, and I just want to add that I've got a GeForce FX 5600. When NOT in stereomode, the video driver 45.23, DOES support vertex and pixel shaders (water effects and so on). | ||

interesting! maybe it support dx9 but nvidia excludes fragments / pixel shaders 'cause it requires a lot of gpu and game become too slow (? but why not a user check like fsaa?) searching infos... | ||

2 giofx Hardware shaders (vertex, pixel or both - I don't know) are INCOMPATIBLE with stereo. Them are working but... result is absolutely flat. This fact have been already described at this and another forums. Slowness is not the main problem here. Maybe in future this problem will be solved, but now ... disabling shaders or using software emulation seems to be the only solution  | ||

Alg: Do you have some theoretical explanation why vertex and pixels shaders do not work in stereo ? I thing that after putting in the input the correct light/camera e.t.c. stereoscopicaly manipulated parameters any engine should produce correct results ... | ||

Aig, what du u mean "result is absolutely flat"? What does that mean? Either the shaders work or not, or...? And where did u hear shaders are incompatible with stereo? | ||

"Do you have some theoretical explanation why vertex and pixels shaders do not work in stereo?" In theory shaders could be supported for stereo, but keep in mind that the Nvidia stereo driver is a hack, that is, it's an override on the game or app running. Thus, everything that the game does once, has to be done twice, with some fiddling of matrices. This is pretty straightforward for fixed pipe, but for programmable pipe it is much harder. Cheers. | ||

Hello! >what du u mean "result is absolutely flat"? What does that mean? >Either the shaders work or not, or...? It means that when using universal stereodriver like NVidia's, Elsa's ..., if no hardware shaders used on scene, the scene looks three-dimensional. But if hardware shaders are used on any element of scene (object, surface ...), this element becomes looking flat and at screen depth - all stereo separation (on this object) disappears. Example - water in Morrowind: borders of water pool 3D, but water surface is flat and at monitor depth. >where did u hear shaders are incompatible with stereo? I didn't hear it anywhere, it's only my own opinion, resulting from my practise. | ||

2 M.H. >Do you have some theoretical explanation why >vertex and pixels shaders do not work in stereo? I'm not a graphics programmer, so i may be wrong, but IMHO - Program (with no any stereo in mind) forms 3d-scene and camera position (or 3d-scene from the camera position) and sends it to 3d API engine (Direct3D, OpenGL). Graphics card stereo driver intercepts this info, transforms one camera position into two and sends scene to the graphics card. The card renderes 2 scenes instead of one and we have stereo pair. But while using shaders programmer (with no stereo in mind) writes direct code for graphics card and sends it directly to GPY, and he uses initial 3d-scene and camera position, not the one formed by stereo driver, of which he news nothing. And stereo driver can do nothing with that code. So IMHO hardware shaders can be used in stereo, but programmer must take stereo in mind and write shader code using two cam. positions. Or maybe it's possible to use not initial transformation info (from program) but the one that is sent to card by driver. It would be very interesting to hear if any programmer do such an experiment. | ||

In point of fact, proof that shaders can be stereoized is found in looking at the successful implementation by the 56.56 drivers. Games using Vertex shaders that work with NVIDIA 3D Stereo. Here is the list I have compiled so far. 21 games! Not bad... FarCry WWII - Pacific Heroes Joan of Arc V-Rally 3 Rebel Trucker Chrome Railroad Tycoon 3 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ford Racing 2 Korea Forgotten Conflict Halo Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 Fair Strike Lord of the Rings - War of the Ring Knight Shift Empires - Dawn of the Modern World Indy Car Series Colin McRae 3 Enter the Matrix The Hulk Fighter Ace Cheers - StereoGamer | ||

anyone have any luck with the FX3400 (PCI-Express) card and the DIN connector? The FX3000 (AGP), under the "additional opengl properties", Stereo Display mode has the option of "Use on-board DIN connector". This option is not shown for the FX3400. Using driver 61.76 I tried looking up the Registry entry posted earlier, but it does not exist. Any ideas? I'm using a Stereographics Zscreen 2000i. | ||
