City. Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi everyone, the problem I'm experiencing is that I'm unable to access the Stereoscopic 3d setting on the nvidia control pannel. The only two options I am able to access are 3D settings (Adjust image settings with preview, manage 3D settings, Set PhysX configuration) and Video (Adjust video color settings, Adjust video image settings). The current GPU I'm using is the 680M GTX with the driver 302.71, I've also tried installing 302.77 but I'm unable to install it. Could anyone help me?

zipper Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Look at Services, if NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service exists. If not, you have to do a fresh install, perhaps another driver. 305.68 is a good candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 305.68 doesn't support windows 7 or mobile cards, I've also tried reformatting and doing clean installs but the Stereoscopic 3D section isn't there at all.

zipper Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Huh! What makes you to think so - I have tested it twice and had to disable the 3D stereoscopic service as 3D want's to pop in even when disabled from the Control Panel. Get the download from here: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/29719-v30568-windows-8-64bit-nvidia/ and don't forget to use the modified inf!

zipper Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Your install is screwed - missing the Display tab altogether. (and Performance, if using NVidia System tools). Did you get your driver from NVidia? http://www.geforce.com/drivers/beta-legacy 306.02 should support GTX 680M - but who knows if there's some issue with your hardware.

I have no idea what the problem is, I've tried 3 drivers so far including the 306 all provided either by, laptopvideo, stock, or nvidia and they have all shown only these options. Could a hardware problem possibly cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very likely that his Optimus system runs with default switching settings, which make the Intel IGP the output device, with the Nvidia GPU being a render workhorse, and on Optimus systems there is no Display tab at all, since the Nvidia GPU doesn't do any output by itself, it sends rendered data to the IGP that then outputs it, with a negligible performance hit.

It's true that my system is Optimus, is that the reason stereoscopic 3D cant be accessed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
