Nvidia Controller Driver Vs Normal
3D Vision (previously GeForce 3D Vision) is a stereoscopic gaming kit from Nvidia which consists of LC shutter glasses and driver software which enables stereoscopic vision for any Direct3D game, with various degrees of compatibility. There have been many examples of shutter glasses. Electrically controlled mechanical shutter glasses date back to the middle of the last century. LCD shutter glasses appeared in the 1980s, one example of which is Sega's SegaScope. This was available for Sega's game console, the Master System. The NVIDIA 3D Vision gaming kit introduced in 2008 made this technology available for mainstream consumers and PC gamers.[1]
The kit is specially designed for 120 Hz LCD monitors but is compatible with CRT monitors (some of which may work at 1024×768×120 Hz and even higher refresh rates), DLP-projectors, 3LCD projectors and others. It requires a compatible graphics card from Nvidia (GeForce 200 series or later).[2]
Make sure you only install Nvidia drivers you need by Martin Brinkmann on December 26, 2012 in Tutorials - Last Update: January 17, 2017 - 39 comments If your computer is powered by a Nvidia graphics card you have probably also installed the driver package that Nvidia makes available for various operating systems. Download the latest GeForce drivers to enhance your pc gaming experience and run apps faster. Automatically scan your PC or search the driver database for compatible GPU drivers. If NVIDIA driver is installed: Right click the desktop and open NVIDIA Control Panel. Nvidia has introduce updated drivers, for new software releases, for years under the term 'GameReady', the exact same driver they send to their partners that come with Nvidia GPUs and the exact same driver they publish to Microsoft to be updated via Windows Update. The Driver Update Tool – is a utility that contains more than 27 million official drivers for all hardware, including nvidia nforce networking controller driver.

Shutter glasses[edit]
The glasses use wireless IR protocol and can be charged from a USB cable, allowing around 60 hours of continuous use.[3]
The wireless emitter connects to the USB port and interfaces with the underlying driver software. It also contains a VESA Stereo port for connecting supported DLP TV sets, although standalone operation without a PC with installed Nvidia 3D Vision driver is not allowed.
NVIDIA includes one pair of shutter glasses in their 3D Vision kit, SKU 942-10701-0003. Each lens operates at 60 Hz, and alternate to create a 120 Hz 3-dimensional experience.[1]
This version of 3D Vision supports select 120 Hz monitors, 720pDLP projectors, and passive-polarized displays from Zalman.
Stereo driver[edit]
The stereo driver software can perform automatic stereoscopic conversion by using the 3D models submitted by the application and rendering two stereoscopic views instead of the standard mono view. The automatic driver works in two modes: fully 'automatic' mode, where 3D Vision driver controls Stereo Convergence (Pop Out) and Stereo Separation (Screen Depth), and 'explicit' mode, where control over screen depth, separation, and textures is performed by the game developer with the use of proprietary NVAPI.
The quad-buffered mode allows developers to control the rendering, avoiding the automatic mode of the driver and just presenting the rendered stereo picture to left and right frame buffers with associated back buffers.
History[edit]
The roots of the Nvidia stereo driver can be traced to the software supplied with the wired ELSA Revelator shutter glasses from 1990s. Nvidia has acquired the technology and has provided support for various stereoscopic display technologies, including stereoscopic shutter glasses, with their own version driver which only worked with Nvidia graphics cards.
In 2008, Nvidia undertook major rewrite of the driver which was converted to use Windows Display Driver Model, making it only compatible with Windows Vista and Nvidia's glasses. The stereo driver was renamed as 3D Vision driver.
Discontinuation of support[edit]
Nvidia
In April,11,2019 NVIDIA announced, that support for 3D Vision in drivers will be ended in next release[4], as well as 3DTV. Driver v430.39 from April,23 comes without 3D Vision support.

Before you start - Make sure you Submit Feedback for your Nvidia Driver Issue
There is only one real way for any of these problems to get solved, and that's if the Driver Team at Nvidia knows what those problems are.
So in order for them to know what's going on it would be good for any users who are having problems with the drivers to Submit Feedback to Nvidia.
A guide to the information that is needed to submit feedback can be found here.
Additionally, if you see someone having the same issue you are having in this thread, reply and mention you are having the same issue. The more people that are affected by a particular bug, the higher the priority that bug will receive from NVIDIA!!
Common Troubleshooting Steps
If you are having issue installing the driver for GTX 1080/1070/1060 on Windows 10, make sure you are on the latest build for April 2018 Update (Version 1803. Build 17134). If you are on the older version/build (e.g. Version 1507/Build 10240), you need to update your windows. Press Windows Key + R and type winver to check your build version.
Please visit the following link for DDU guide which contains full detailed information on how to do Fresh Driver Install.
If your driver still crashes after DDU reinstall, try going to Go to Nvidia Control Panel -> Managed 3D Settings -> Power Management Mode: Prefer Maximum Performance
If it still crashes, we have a few other troubleshooting steps but this is fairly involved and you should not do it if you do not feel comfortable. Proceed below at your own risk:
A lot of driver crashing is caused by Windows TDR issue. There is a huge post on GeForce forum about this here. This post dated back to 2009 (Thanks Microsoft) and it can affect both Nvidia and AMD cards.
Unfortunately this issue can be caused by many different things so it’s difficult to pin down. However, editing the windows registry might solve the problem.
Additionally, there is also a tool made by Wagnard (maker of DDU) that can be used to change this TDR value. Download here. Note that I have not personally tested this tool.
If you are still having issue at this point, visit GeForce Forum for support or contact your manufacturer for RMA.
Common Questions
Is it safe to upgrade to <insert driver version here>?Fact of the matter is that the result will differ person by person due to different configurations. The only way to know is to try it yourself. My rule of thumb is to wait a few days. If there’s no confirmed widespread issue, I would try the new driver.
My color is washed out after upgrading/installing driver. Help!Try going to the Nvidia Control Panel -> Change Resolution -> Scroll all the way down -> Output Dynamic Range = FULL.
My game is stuttering when processing physics calculationTry going to the Nvidia Control Panel and to the Surround and PhysX settings and ensure the PhysX processor is set to your GPU
What does the new Power Management option 'Optimal Power' means? How does this differ from Adaptive?The new power management mode is related to what was said in the Geforce GTX 1080 keynote video. To further reduce power consumption while the computer is idle and nothing is changing on the screen, the driver will not make the GPU render a new frame; the driver will get the one (already rendered) frame from the framebuffer and output directly to monitor.
Remember, driver codes are extremely complex and there are billions of different possible configurations. The software will not be perfect and there will be issues for some people.
