According to the info I could gather from the NVIDIA site and this
list, it should be possible to run winCoot in stereo with the NVIDIA
3D Vision system using a 120Hx monitor and a Quadro FX 380 card.
Moreover, it should work for Windows XP, Vista and 7. Well, I've
tried it and couldn't get it to work, past a few "hiccups". The
emitter doesn't even turn bright green. I followed NVIDIA's
instructions for setting up the system and the drivers, but no luck.
I tried it also with a FX 580 (which should require a VBIOS update)
and there I got a bit further along. The emitter turns bright green,
a double image appears on the screen but no stereo is visible through
the glasses. I used a game demo (Tomb Raider Underworld) as a test
for Direct3D stereo and it works on both cards.
My question to this community is: has anyone tried this with success?
If so, how did you do it?
In the NVIDIA forums (forums.nvidia.com) there is a topic
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=156751 where the driver
developers ask about needed features. One of them is OpenGL support
for 3D Vision (GeForce). I suggest those interested sign up and make
their voice heard regarding this topic.
