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

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:14.799
GeForce drivers. So, what I've decided

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:20.560
to do in addition to that is a little guide on how to configure your system

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.920
for 3D Vision Surround. So, first of

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:28.880
all, you will need three monitors, all

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:31.039
120 Hz. You will need two GeForce GTX.

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:35.040
No, not necessarily GTX. You'll need two supported GeForce graphics cards. In

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.920
this case, I've got a couple of GTX 480s. You will also need NVIDIA active

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:43.520
shutter glasses as well as an IR emitter. So, you'll need to have the

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:46.879
latest beta drivers installed. And by the time uh you watch this, I guess

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:52.160
there might be an official driver for this, a Wickle one. So, you go to the

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:52.160
NVIDIA control

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

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:04.239
into the configure SLI physics and

00:01:01.239 --> 00:01:07.360
surround. So, I'm going to go ahead and

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:09.119
span displays with surround. So, I'm

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:13.119
going to apply that first and then I'll configure it after. So, the surround

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

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:22.479
had activate all displays and disable SLI. So, it says connect displays to

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

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:31.280
click apply again. This might take a moment. Yes, I

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:35.759
am sure. And then we hope that it all

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:43.280
works. All displays are blank. No

00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:47.759
signal. Wait for it. Hey, there we go. Okay, so now the NVIDIA control panel is

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:52.399
up on the middle screen. Uh my start menu is also on the middle

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.360
screen, but my start menu spans to the right hand screen as well as the lefth

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:59.520
hand screen. So you can see that we do have to rearrange the displays. So the

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:04.399
easiest way to do that is with the little uh wizard that's up here right

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:09.200
now. So you just click identify. So we've got

00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:11.599
312. So what I'm going to do is I'm

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.

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:22.400
So that should match the identify function. And then once I've

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.280
done that, I just click apply. It'll rearrange my

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

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:34.560
configure for the surround option. So we can either configure it to adjust for

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.800
the display bezels. What that means is it's adding a little bit of resolution

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

00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:52.239
means that if you have say for example like NVIDIA's uh got displayed here a

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

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:01.840
you can make it so that the bezel will simply just be in between and the

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:07.920
picture will will have that gap in between it. So oh

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

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:16.400
I configured. Personally I prefer this way. Um, I don't mind having that gap,

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

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.440
click the wrong one. Okay. So, yeah, you

00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:26.560
can either configure it to have them line up or configure it to have them not

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

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:34.959
want to show you. Okay. Configure. I just want to

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:40.879
show you how to do the bezel correction, even though I don't prefer it that

00:03:37.959 --> 00:03:45.200
way. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yes. we want to adjust there. Okay. So, NVIDIA

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

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:56.080
right here. I'm going to change the width of my extra resolution that I'm

00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:58.799
adding until the road approximately

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

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:08.159
pixels. So, I'm going to go ahead and click create

00:04:05.239 --> 00:04:13.040
resolutions. And once that's done, that will be applied across all monitors. So

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

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.560
really quick and then I'll show you exactly what that means as far as

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

00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:32.400
5760x 1080 rather than the full

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:35.360
resolution which is 5910x 1080. 5910 x

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

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:47.919
is probably the uh the offset

00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:47.919
one. Oh, now I've gone and confused

00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:57.120
myself. Adding extra pixels for the width of the bezels. Yeah. Yeah,

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.600
definitely. Okay. So, yeah, we've added a little bit of extra of extra width for

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

00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.880
here, it's actually going to block out

00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:15.680
words. So here, see, if I drag this to the side, set up stereoscopic. The

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:19.120
entire word stereoscopic can be blocked out by the bezel because of the way that

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:22.320
I've altered the resolution. It's not really ideal for desktop use, but it

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:27.039
does provide a little bit of a better experience for games. So you don't have

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.600
kind of like the wing of your plane like

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:33.440
starting here and then like coming up over here or something weird like that,
