calius 0 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 (edited) Hi, Just got 9800pro and all is great. I did have nvidia ti4200 which used to work fine with 3d stereo drivers & 3d glasses. I see that its a different ball game with ATI. I have the ATI 3d driver from Edimentions on cd (v3.0) I run it and I understand you press f5 to activate, problem is that the minimal refresh rate in the setting of the 3d glasses driver is minimum 95khz ... my monitor is 85hz max ... so when I switch on my monitor blanks and is out of range, even if i set it to software preffered setting ..... ummm ... what do I do to get it working? I run at 1280x1024 res by the way. which was fine with Nvidia 3d stereo. Anyone with this combo lend a hand? Oh - I sorted out refresh rate fix for resolutions less that 1280x1024 so things like raven shield (stupid bloody 640x480 startup menu res) .. is ok now and fixed to 85hz.

Rocky 1,224 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 All I can add is that I do still see posts in various forums along the same lines i.e. these glasses really do have problems with ATi cards, but nvidia works great. Sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calius 0 Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 Fair enough Rocky, (PS ignore my email I just sent you!) I got feedback from ED support (for anyone else who is interested) : "To get it lower you will need to use power strip, read and do the info below The desktop resolution and bit depth should match the games. When you have verified that it's the same, just set your desktop refresh rate down to 60 hz or lower. Our driver doubles refresh rate and some monitor's have a hard time handling it. If you are still having problems there are 2 things to do. One is to wait until our new drivers are out that will automate refresh rate. They will be out by the end of August. The other thing to do is go to www.google.com and find the program powerstrip. Install this and in the display setting change the advanced timing options to 50hz. The 50hz setting is going to be for the Vertical refresh rate which is the one on the bottom half of that screen. Save it for that resolution (desktop resolution) then start the game and make sure it's in the same resolution as well as bit depth (16 bit or 32 bit). By matching that you can take advantage of the correct refresh. If not it will not get the correct refresh. If you set the refresh to 50hz, you will notice a shaking of the monitor, this is how you know you are in a low refresh rate setting. If you don't notice the same flicking or shaking in the game then your resolution or bit depth is probably not matching the desktop's where you have set the 50hz rate." So will play about with this little lot of info now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,224 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Oh well, at least you got a response and the hope of new drivers on the horizon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
