Yesterday my first S-3D hardware arrived 8) Unfortunately, when I swapped out my ATI card with my FX5200 I discovered the card was dead. Same with my Ti4200. Guess I should store them in anti-static bags Found a couple of old MX440s from salvaged PCs. While crap, it works and I installed the 91.31 drivers and got the Medical test image and the Nvidia test program both to show in S-3D
So I started digging around for some of my old(GF2 compatable) games, and thought Q3 might be good for a blast, as Ive heard a lot of positive reviews of its S-3D compatability. However, the game wont render in stereo at all. THe only thing that is rendered in stereo are the Laser sight crosshairs, but becasue the rest of the image is 2-D, my brain resolves the laser sight as two dots, so really nothing is 3D
Unreal Tournament works, its by default a D3D game(Q3 is OGL), Ill try it in OpenGL later and see if the problem is with the renderer or not. In the meantime, are there any 'extra' things I have to do in order to make Quake3 work in stereo?

You need a driver that supports opengl. Not everyone does that. Try google for 93.81 forceware and stereo. Think you might have some luck with these.

Re: Quake3 not rendering in stereo
So you tried Q3 in D3D mode? If yes, I think changing it to OGL should do the trick. I think even the 'old' 91.31 drivers are supporting Open GL. OGL is better for certain other games, too.gamma wrote: Unreal Tournament works, its by default a D3D game(Q3 is OGL), Ill try it in OpenGL later and see if the problem is with the renderer or not.

Im thinking the problem may be the drivers not fully supporting the old GF2 card. I tried a couple of other OpenGL apps, Roller Coaster sim did nothing, and UT in OGL just went very dark when activating stereo. Im hoping to borrow a 6600GT tomorrow and try it out. Otherwise Ill be buying the best nvidia AGP card I can get ASAP, Im getting sick of being told my card is not supported when I try and run any of my games.

If the 6600 doesn't work, newer cards won't, too. If the 6600 works, every series 7 card should, too. (Maybe faster or slower, that depends...)
If you could buy a 8600 or something for AGP, it will not work, until Nvidia releases new drivers for Series 8 cards. Maybe they release a new driver for Series 8 and Vista, but they said the same last year
I thought mx440 was a GF4?
If you want to run it, you might have more luck with OLD drivers.

the 6600gt worked, but was PCI-E so I had to borrow the entire PC
Youre right, I made a mistake, the MX440s were released with the 4 series cards. However, the GPU is simply a GF2 GPU with DDR ram strapped to it. The GF2 GPU when released was bottlenecked by the ram of its day. It in no way compares to a GF4 Ti.
