View Full Version : Dual graphics cards and active stereo: Do I need a G-Sync card?

Hi,

I've got a system with dual Quadro 5500's running active stereo over two overlapping screens. However, when I'm using stereo, only the screen from the card which has the stereo sync cable connected has correct stereo - the other screen has stereo, but with a black stripe moving (slowly) across the screen. This looks somewhat like what you'll see if you try making a video of a computer screen. I'm assuming this is because the two screens aren't perfectly in sync. On one side of the black stripe stereo will be correct, on the other it looks flipped.

Will adding a G-Sync card enable me to synchronise these two screens? Is there anything I've overlooked?

This will be used both in Linux and in Windows, although so far I've only tested in Linux, driver 87.74.

The answer is yes. I have gotten a G-sync card, and stereo works now. I needed 9XXX-driverss to get the g-sync card to work, though.
