1
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:12,559
So, this is a bit of a follow-up to my guide on how to install the NVIDIA

2
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:14,799
GeForce drivers. So, what I've decided

3
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:20,560
to do in addition to that is a little guide on how to configure your system

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,920
for 3D Vision Surround. So, first of

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:28,880
all, you will need three monitors, all

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:31,039
120 Hz. You will need two GeForce GTX.

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:35,040
No, not necessarily GTX. You'll need two supported GeForce graphics cards. In

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,920
this case, I've got a couple of GTX 480s. You will also need NVIDIA active

9
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:43,520
shutter glasses as well as an IR emitter. So, you'll need to have the

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,879
latest beta drivers installed. And by the time uh you watch this, I guess

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:52,160
there might be an official driver for this, a Wickle one. So, you go to the

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,160
NVIDIA control

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:01:01,239
panel. You wait for it to load. Once it's done loading, you go ahead and go

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,239
into the configure SLI physics and

15
00:01:01,239 --> 00:01:07,360
surround. So, I'm going to go ahead and

16
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,119
span displays with surround. So, I'm

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:13,119
going to apply that first and then I'll configure it after. So, the surround

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:17,680
option is the new one in this particular menu. We've always had SLI. We've always

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,479
had activate all displays and disable SLI. So, it says connect displays to

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,119
graphics cards as shown. I have already done this. So, I'm going to go ahead and

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:31,280
click apply again. This might take a moment. Yes, I

22
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,759
am sure. And then we hope that it all

23
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:43,280
works. All displays are blank. No

24
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:47,759
signal. Wait for it. Hey, there we go. Okay, so now the NVIDIA control panel is

25
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:52,399
up on the middle screen. Uh my start menu is also on the middle

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,360
screen, but my start menu spans to the right hand screen as well as the lefth

27
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:59,520
hand screen. So you can see that we do have to rearrange the displays. So the

28
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:04,399
easiest way to do that is with the little uh wizard that's up here right

29
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:09,200
now. So you just click identify. So we've got

30
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,599
312. So what I'm going to do is I'm

31
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:17,560
going to make it so that three is over here. Just going to drag it over. 312.

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:22,400
So that should match the identify function. And then once I've

33
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,280
done that, I just click apply. It'll rearrange my

34
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:30,560
monitors. And it's that simple. Okay. So there's one more thing that we need to

35
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,560
configure for the surround option. So we can either configure it to adjust for

36
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:38,800
the display bezels. What that means is it's adding a little bit of resolution

37
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:45,680
here. I'm going to sort of try to explain this. It's adding some resolution behind the bezels. So that

38
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:52,239
means that if you have say for example like NVIDIA's uh got displayed here a

39
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:57,360
road you can either make it so that the bezels will hide some of the picture or

40
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,840
you can make it so that the bezel will simply just be in between and the

41
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:07,920
picture will will have that gap in between it. So oh

42
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:11,519
uhoh okay looks like I've configured it one way or the other. I missed which one

43
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:16,400
I configured. Personally I prefer this way. Um, I don't mind having that gap,

44
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,519
but it doesn't really matter. Oh, no. I see what I've done. Okay. No, I did

45
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,440
click the wrong one. Okay. So, yeah, you

46
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:26,560
can either configure it to have them line up or configure it to have them not

47
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:29,959
line up. You know what? Why don't we go through really quickly here? And I just

48
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,959
want to show you. Okay. Configure. I just want to

49
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:40,879
show you how to do the bezel correction, even though I don't prefer it that

50
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:45,200
way. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yes. we want to adjust there. Okay. So, NVIDIA

51
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,599
gives us this little road thing, and I'm going to go ahead and change the width

52
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:56,080
right here. I'm going to change the width of my extra resolution that I'm

53
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:58,799
adding until the road approximately

54
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:03,599
lines up. So, I'm holding it down. That looks pretty close to me. So, that's 150

55
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,159
pixels. So, I'm going to go ahead and click create

56
00:04:05,239 --> 00:04:13,040
resolutions. And once that's done, that will be applied across all monitors. So

57
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:17,759
what that means is that my configuration which is now set up uh let's do 3D

58
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,560
really quick and then I'll show you exactly what that means as far as

59
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:27,680
resolutions are concerned. Actually I'll show you that right now. So we'll go to screen resolution. So we are running at

60
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:32,400
5760x 1080 rather than the full

61
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:35,360
resolution which is 5910x 1080. 5910 x

62
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:42,280
1080. Hold on a minute. 1920. No, that doesn't make any sense. No, 5910 x 1080

63
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:47,919
is probably the uh the offset

64
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:47,919
one. Oh, now I've gone and confused

65
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:57,120
myself. Adding extra pixels for the width of the bezels. Yeah. Yeah,

66
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,600
definitely. Okay. So, yeah, we've added a little bit of extra of extra width for

67
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:08,280
the bezels to our resolution here. So you can see that if I drag a window over

68
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:10,880
here, it's actually going to block out

69
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:15,680
words. So here, see, if I drag this to the side, set up stereoscopic. The

70
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:19,120
entire word stereoscopic can be blocked out by the bezel because of the way that

71
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,320
I've altered the resolution. It's not really ideal for desktop use, but it

72
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:27,039
does provide a little bit of a better experience for games. So you don't have

73
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,600
kind of like the wing of your plane like

74
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:33,440
starting here and then like coming up over here or something weird like that,
