I've been playing around with 3D on an old Samsung TV for a little while, using a desktop with a GTX 1060. I just got a laptop with a Ryzen + RTX 3050 Ti instead, which is much more convenient since the desktop lives on a different floor of my house than the 3D TV. I know that the RTX 30 series is limiting for Stereo 3D since you can't install the old driver that has 3D DX11 support, but I know that DX9 is supposed to be fine and geo-11 looks promising for DX11 games. I'm trying to play Portal 2 in 3D but 3DFM always fails to "Enable 3D" and tells me to connect my laptop to an external display, which I have done. I didn't have the issue on my old GTX 1060 desktop.
Do you know what's happening here?
Thanks,
Ron
Does anyone know why I can't use 3D in DX9 games on my new Ryzen/RTX 3050 Ti laptop?

Thanks for the help. In that PhysX page of the Nvidia Control Panel, I see that all the video outputs are unfortunately connected to the Radeon graphics. Am I correct to assume that means no Helix Mod games will work for 3D DX9. So I guess Geo-11 should still be an option for DX11 games, and perhaps I can use DGVoodoo2 to adapt DX9 games into that? Not totally sure but I'll look into it. Its unfortunate how 3D Fix Manager doesn't work with geo-11 at all, and you have to install all the fixes manaully. Anyways thanks for your help, I can try to figure it out now.

What Radeon GPU the CPU Built in one? if so then I think you might hqave a shot with Geo-11 and DX11 games but not DX9 games unless you use dgVooDoo2 on them and convert it and then try geo-11..rondn wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 4:45 pm Thanks for the help.

Yep, I was referring to the Radeon graphics in my CPU. I suppose I just had no idea this port connection was a limitation when using 3D on laptops. I've already had success using DgVoodoo2 and Geo-11 to make Portal 2 run in 3D, and I must say it was easier than I thought. I think the hard part will be figuring out how to run the game in 2D again later...
Thanks for your help.

Well yes too run the game later in 3D with Geo-11 just don't start the Katanga Shortcut and just click the games regular exe shortcut and it should start the game in 2D..rondn wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 11:04 pm Yep, I was referring to the Radeon graphics in my CPU.
