Earlier this month the first 3D Vision compatible laptop – the Asus G51J 3D started appearing on the market and it also seems that in the last few days in Asia the first Acer GD245HQ 3D Vision ready monitors are also starting to become available. This however rises one interesting issue that is related to the 3D Vision drivers that add the support for these products and it seems that there is some confusion going on around with people having trouble and not knowing what drivers to use to make their new hardware work. So here goes a little clarification on the topic…

For ASUS G51J 3D laptops there is a separate 3D vision driver available based on the normal 195.62 driver version. You can find it already available on Nvidia’s website in the drivers download section in a section called 3D Vision ASUS Laptop Driver that is also available in a separate form of CD v1.17.

The situation with the Acer GD245HQ monitor is quite similar and this is making a bit of a confusion. Both the 195.62 and 195.81 drivers for 3D Vision do not offer support for the Acer, you’ll need to download the driver version 195.66 that will add the support for the Acer GD245HQ monitor and this driver is also only available as a full package release.
