    • Do not turn off and on your monitor when using stereo mode. nVIDIA’s stereo signal may be malfunction if monitor’s power is reset. APEC’s LC shutter glasses will detect the stereo signal and stop working automatically if the correct stereo signal is not provided. It is necessary to reboot your PC in order to make stereo available again if this situation occurs.

    3D LC shutter glasses can be over regular glasses and be supported stable if 3D glasses’ ear piece can be set on the regular glasses’ ear piece. Software Installation It is necessary to install three driver programs, i.e. DirectX 8.0, nVIDIA basic VGA driver (UDA) and nVIDIA Stereo drivers ( StereoE.exe) on nVIDIA’s VGA cards.

    Technical Assistance Q: Why is the display shifted or changed sizes when I switch display modes? Explain and Suggestion: Some monitors lack auto-sizing features or just do not synchronize properly to the video board output. In some cases, horizontal and vertical display adjustments may be necessary.
  • Page 44 Q: System hangs-up after installing video driver. Explain and Suggestion: Today, most video drivers are developed for 32-bit processing and may require a channel to Code/Decode. Conflict between device drivers and TSR (terminate- and-stay-resident) programs will inverted the display, and are particularly effectual at crashing computer.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1 Why do we need 3D graphics capability in our PC? Answer 3D technology is becoming increasingly important (and common) not only in games, but also in other applications such as VRML, which allows 3D scene descriptions in Web applications.
  • Page 46 Yes and no. Software rendering can take advantage of "tricks" learned by force of necessity through years of trial and error. With such stratagems, the speed of software rendering for simple scenes can approach that of low-level hardware 3D rendering. On the other hand, as scenes become more complex (or frame sizes become larger), there are conflicts between using the CPU for high-level game logic, geometry, lighting, and rendering, all of which increase their demands.
