Hi Kos1985,
The basic requirements for 3D on XPS 17 are:
3D LCD
3D System Board
3D Board and Cable
3D Software
3D Glasses
The XPS 17 was shipped with two variants of system boards which support 3D. Here are the part numbers with description:
Dell part # 8DW4W - (Order for TXP27) 3D 3G VRAM (integrated GT 555M GPU) with 4 DIMM slots MB SVC Kit (include MB, DB, I/O BD & CPU thermal pad)
Dell part # C2C0R - (Order for P4N30) 3D 1G VRAM (integrated GT 550M GPU) with 2 DIMMS slots MB SVC Kit (include MB, DB, I/O BD & CPU thermal pad)
The difference between the above two system boards is the video RAM. If the system was shipped with either of the system boards, changing the LCD will be enough to get 3D, other wise the system board also needs to be changed. You will also need the 3D board cable (Dell part # RMKPW)
