(っ＾▿＾)っ Hi all!

I want to mix myself more into the community. And I like to start by sharing something with you guys that really made gaming so beautiful and awesome for me!
After following this guide you will be able to play almost every game in (Real) Stereoscopic 3D! Even old gamecube games and stuff :O!
If you already have a 3dtv, but you don't have a Nvidia card, its worth it to sell your current and buy a Nvidia imho.
When you are going to buy a new monitor / tv, if I were you, I would make sure its a passive 3d one. Thats how much I love it and don't wanna go back.

I am just here for the giveaway

Okay, here is your ticket, please bump tho :)!

What is gaming in stereoscopic 3D?

Well, you know 3D movies in the cinema? Well, that, but then for games. And with games it is way more awesome, since you are in control of the depth and such. It really makes games come alive! Also, many 3D movies are just 2D conversions, which gives 3D a bad name :'(.

What do we need?

This guide is mostly targeted to people owning the same sort of hardware as me. But this doesn't mean that if you have other hardware it will not work. Active 3dtvs will probably work to! You can just skip the EDID override and my example images wont work for you.

1. A passive 3dtv ✔ (passive is the same technique used in the cinema)
2. A Nvidia GPU with support for Nvidia 3d vision (almost every GTX card) ✔

To peak ahead at the endresult, I've created this image. Just download (important, or it will look like garbage) the image and put it in full-screen on your passive (1080p) 3dtv. And put your glasses on (probably glasses upside down!!)

My own setup for those that are curious, consists of:

1. LG 42LM3450 Passive 3Dtv (I bought it new some years ago for 450 euro)
2. A Pc running windows 10 with: (but this worked on my old pc with a gtx460 & older hardware to)
   • AMD FX-8350
   • MSI Geforce GTX 960 4GB Gaming Edition
   • 16GB DDR3
   • Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0

Step 1 - Install the EDID override

First we need to trick the videocard in accepting your passive 3d monitor / tv as if its one of the only two supported passive 3d monitors by nvidia 3d vision.
To do this, follow this guide to install the EDID override that will trick the Nvidia GPU.
Install the Acer INF if you care about audio over HDMI. Otherwhise I reccomend the Zalmann one.
You probably need to disable driver signature enforcement, see here how to do this
When you are done installing the driver, reboot!

Step 2 - Test

The Nvidia 3Dvision drivers should now work already on your passive 3D screen. To test this, you can run the Stereoscopic 3D test in the Nvidia control panel.
¡¡¡¡ You probably need to turn your glasses upside down to see the normal 3D effect. The image will probably be reversed (R-L instead of L-R) TO FIX THIS: download 3DVisionEyeSwapper.exe ¡¡¡¡
I've made some screenshots on how this looks.
If you wanna check if your test is right, be sure to download the screenshot of the test and view it in full screen! Otherwhise it will look screwed up, and def not 3D!
This is also the place where you can set your shortkeys. This will enable you to adjust the depth and convergence in-game.
You can also view some screenshots already in your Nvidia 3D photo viewer. Like the ones from this thread.

If you wanna test out a game in 3D, Pinball FX2 is free on steam and works in 3D right out of the box ❤.
Pinball Fx2 is one of the most beautiful examples I know. But everybody is also really amazed when I show them Overlord, so I'm giving this away for you 3D lovers.

You now have the same support as normal Nvidia 3Dvision users, but we are going to take this even further :).

Step 3 - Adjust tv settings

This really cleared a lot of the ghosting / crosstalk (seeing lines or bleeding threw of left eye <> right eye) for me. So, on your tv you probably have a lot of color profiles like 'cinema, sport, user'. Choose one to alter just for 3D.
Now run something in 3D where you probably see a lot of ghosting. Now play with the color settings until you see as little as you're gonna get.
Especially turning down sharpness in your tv helps a lot.
There is a great testing video to test for crosstalk.

Step 4 - Installing Nvidia Inspector

Many games wont start in Nvidia 3Dvision mode. To fix this we download Nvidia Inspector.
With this tool you can add games to different profiles, many times allowing 3D to work.
The Max Payne 3 Profile works a lot of times for me.
You can also add emulators to game profiles. Which allowed me to run some emulators in stereoscopic 3D. Its really funny & awesome to play old retro games in Full HD & stereoscopic sweetness. Like Virtual Boy, PSP, Gamecube and Wii games.

Step 5 - Look for 3D fixes for the game you love

Helixmod is awesome. They bring out a lot of fixes for games that make them more playable or awesome in 3D! See if your game is in the gamelist and follow those instructions to make your game more beautiful in 3D!
Ofcourse some games are made for Nvidia 3D vision, but even some of those games have recieved fixes.

Extra tricks

• Funny thing is, if you make 2 glasses, one with L-L and one with R-R, you can play both play split-screen games full-screen on the same screen!
  Just open up any splitscreen game, put the tv in 3D mode (top-bottom) and put the glasses on. Magic!
• If you use Stereoscopic Player you can play videos in 3D without touching the 3D button on your remote!
• Every image that will have its lines in turns of ...L-R-L-R-... can be viewed in 3D on your tv without turning on the 3D button.
