VR920 with Windows 8 64bit

Post by burf2000 »

Hey everyone, sorry if this is in the wrong section

So I am trying to bring life back in to my VR920 while I wait for my Rift to turn up

Has anyone got these working with Windows 8 64? I have installed the drivers by disabling the driver cert thing. I can see 1024 x 768, but when I drop it to 640 x 480 for 3D support , the glasses just show a blue screen.

Is this a graphics card issue showing this low res? Or windows being silly

I am sure I managed to get it working in Windows 7.

Or maybe I should just sell them?

I sold my VR920 a while ago. I do believe it worked on Windows Vista and 7, so I would guess it could work on 8 as well. Never tried it though.

However, why doesn't 3D work at 1024x768? I didn't think the resolution should matter.

Also, I don't believe Windows will support 640x480 anymore, but you can still full-screen games at that res.

I don't think it's a windows issue but, hardware issue. I have one, back in the closet. The same issue happened a lot, I remember it being a limitation with the glasses not windows. You gotta google about it.

VR920 will show blue screen when you have more than 1024x768 in your video signal or if your signal is more than 60Hz! Check that also.
