8800 ultra stereo driver

[m7ossny]

Hi,

We had the same problem with 4600 Quadro, and 8600 GT. Same symptoms, the stereo is not working, messed up drivers, projecting the shuttering exactly to both eyes, ... .

If you are as desperate as I am, there is a solution. Forget about the stereo driver. If you have it just disable stereo at all. Download a 3dvisor's utility called labtool (http://www.3dvisor.com/support.php). It forces the 3d mode to the emagin box. We tried it with 162.15/18, and the monitor was daisychained to the emagin box and it worked.

Mohammed - brilliant, thanks for that. Works a treat - can now run the model smoothly in stereo using a quadro fx3700 with the 169.39 driver. Interestingly this works when you run labtool and have toggle left and right but, counter-intuitively (to me anyway) set the Force 3D mode to 2D! You also don't seem to need to leave labtool running - just start up, set Force 3D mode to 2D, close it down and then you can open the original z800 software utility (which has a couple of settings that I cannot see in labtool) - the left/right toggling continues to work - what's that all about? Anyway - thanks again.

Hello,
Is there a way to make the labtool save the changes i make, so that the next time i load my pc it will have it changed?

Thanks

I don't think labtool has a save settings capability.

You could write a C++ plugin that acesses emagin's SDK and sets the settings you need. Then run this C++ plugin from your Vizard script.

The Labtool software simply provides a GUI wraper for the emagin SDK.

I also have a Geforce GT 8600 graphics card and I can no longer use the z800. $1500 device has become a piece of garbage. Your message became a hope to me again, because I also saw the Labtool switching the goggles to to a flickering 60 Hz mode, but I couldn't see anything stereo 3D yet.

I tried to setup 162.18 driver but it also doesn't recognize the hardware. What do you think I'm doing wrong? You say something like 162.15/18. What do you mean? and if possible, can you please note a few step by step instructions to see something in 3D.

Mohammed,

I followed the steps and downloaded the Labtool utlity. I have a Quadro FX 1600. I can get stero to flash on the HMD but then it disappears. The light turns from yellow to green for about half a second and then I lose stereo. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
