Please which is maximal picture resolution for NV6600 GT graphic card for 3dpageflipping stereo (1monitor) with original NV 3d stereo drivers?
Thanks

It depends on how much RAM is on your video card. My GeforceFX 5700 has 256MB and can do 800x600 in page flip. Generally, I think the rule of thumb is that you can do page flipping at half of your maximum 2D resolution (because it uses twice the memory). I could be wrong about that. If I am then someone will let us know ;)

My qestion is becose with Matrox dual monitor adapter (for laptops with only 1VGA output) were mayby possible dual monitor or dual projector 3D active stereo (res. 2048x768). The adapter simulated for system monitor with 2048x768 res, the picture is cropped on VGA output (half width) and then expanded to 2x VGA 1024x768. This were answer to problem with no dual monitor 3D with consumer stereodrivers in games.

@Harolddd: You should consider a monitor upgrade...
Graphs card memory hasn't been a limiting factor for a few years now, since 16+MB became minumum.
Most important limit is the horizontal scan rate of the monitor, so the maximum resolution is the maximum your monitor can handle with an acceptable vertical refresh.
E.g. for 100Hz vertical (= 2x50Hz page-flipped), a cheap old 75kHz tube will be no good above 800x600 (768*100Hz=76.8kHz would be too much already), while a top-class 150kHz model could easily handle 1600x1200@120Hz (which any current card should be able to provide without any problem).
Another issue, of course, may be processing power of CPU and graphics card. If these cannot catch up with the rendering of high-detailed scenes of a stae-of-the-art game at high resolution, you may end up with a flicker-free, high-resolution slide-show...

Hi,
my NEC 21" CRT is OK on 1600x1200 res with OK 3D stereo at this resolution.
My dream is 2 monitor (projector) pageflipping 3Dstereo with normal NV stereodriver (games, simulators) =3D stereo in resolution 2048 x768 =2x1024x768 (with dual monitor adapter?) I think the total pixels count is the same as 1600x1200, and this pixels are OK rendered in 3D stereo. The main problem is in Drivers or DirectX = only 1 monitor is in 3D stereo, the second is monoscopic (horisontal span mode).

I see - didn't know about Matrox DualHead2Go before.
For the NVidia drivers, I'm not aware of any size limitation for a single screen - if the driver can handle 2048x768, it should also be able to do page-flipped stereo in that resolution.
What I would try first, though, is whether the page-flipped stereo survives the signal processing inside the Matrox box.

P.S.: Anyone noticed that NVidia has listed
"Toggle Stereo3D hot-key" as new feature for Release 70 of the the nView desktop manager?

Hi,
the survive of 3D information and their synchronisation is the next qestion, this with matrox dual head is only hypothetical, becose this system is compatible with only internal graphic cards of laptops.

Indeed, just when it started to sound interesting..
