- Once stereoscopic 3D is enabled, the Set up 'NVIDIA 3D Vision wizard' will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup.

2. If you face issues with the set up (If 3D option does not show up or you get an error), try the following steps:
a) Uninstall the graphic card drivers
- Open 'Device Manager' to check for a corrupt display driver

3. This image illustrates the requirements for getting a 3D display on the computer.

Nvidia 630m graphic card is 3D vision ready. You may check the card specifications: http://bit.ly/RAnoAd As this laptop is shipped with 'Windows 7', it meets the operating system requirements to enable 3D vision. I hope you are already using the NVIDIA 3D vision kit. If the issue still persists, reply with error message that you get during 3D configuration (If appears). If no error appears, it is possible that the 'display screen' on your laptop is not 3D ready.

I am adding you as a friend. Please accept my request and reply through a private message with the system 'Service Tag'. I will check the system configuration to verify if the display installed is 3D ready. Hope this helps. Do reply if you have any further questions. I would be glad to assist.

First thanks to read me !!!

I Have tried with the bios update, full uninstall of the card and reinstall with your driver ( who is not the last from nvidia), same problem, no 3d stereoscopic option.

the problem seems come with the nvidia optimus technology :

I m afraid that the new dell latpop won't work with the 3d vision kit, my friend have au 17r i7 from last year without optimus technology and 3d kit vision works on it !

Hi Gargahel,

Thank you for responding. NVIDIA optimus technology and 3d vision may work together. I am looking for an update on your system's 'Service Tag' so that I may be able to check the laptop's specifications thoroughly and provide decisive answers. Please provide the information. I would be glad to assist.

Hi,

[Moderator Note: Service tag # removed to protect personal information.], but it really seems that the problem is optimus technology, the way that graphic comes to the Integrated Graphic Processer.

Now the quest for a dell taptop without optimus technology is starting ...

Hi Gargahel,

Thank you for your response. I am researching on the issue. I have also forwarded the issue details to the product group team. It may take another 2 - 3 business days. I will keep you posted.

Hi Gargahel,

As mentioned in my previous post, I've forwarded the details to the concerned team. Apologies for taking longer time than expected. It may take another  2 - 3 business days. I will keep you updated.

Hi Gargahel,

Display screen in Inspiron 17R/5720 does not support 3D vision. You referred to your friend's 17R notebook in your previous post that enables 3D display; It is another variant of the Inspiron series laptops and is branded as Inspiron 17R SE/7720. Do reply if you have any further questions. I would be glad to assist.

Hello,

I know that the screen of the 17r/5720 is not 3D vision ready. But my optoma HD67N is ( it s a nvidia certified 3d vsion videoprojector), and there is no way to have 3d vision with the optoma on the hdmi output of the PC.

I try another Dell : 17r SE 7720 -> exactly the same problem, and it because of the actual otpimus technology. I bought a 17r n7110 to someone, and 3d vison works great with optoma on HDMI output... ouf I ve got now a (old) laptop 3d vision ready.

thx for the help :emotion-5:

Hi Gargahel,

Thank you for the valuable inputs. You sure have a valid point. We are still researching on the issue and shall update you in another 2 - 3 business days.

Hi Gargahel,

I am following up on behalf of DELL-Saurabh A. We are still researching on this issue. Please allow us additional 2-3 business days.

Glad to assist.

Hi Gargahel,

Would like to share a small update. I have been researching on the issue and found that usually an external display connects to the integrated graphic card. It is possible that your external display (projector) is connected to integrated GPU and therefore does not project 3D enabled vision. However this functionality is system specific and may vary depending upon the built and design of different computers.
The following NVIDIA article gives deeper insight: http://bit.ly/SACTH6

I am still researching and need another 2 - 3 business days. Shall update you soon.

Install the newest Nvidia's driver (without uninstall Dell's Driver) and make test.

Hi Gargahel,

We are researching on the issue. Apologies for taking longer time than expected. It may take another  2 - 3 business days. I will keep you posted.

Hi Gargahel,

As per the system architecture of laptops like 'Inspiron 17r - 5720 and 7720', the HDMI port is located on the 'integrated GPU' and not on the 'NVIDIA video card'. This is the reason why despite having a 3D capable discreet GPU, you are not getting a 3D display projection on your projector through HDMI.

Do reply if you have any further questions. I would be glad to assist.
