Nvidia 3D Vision + ASUS vg248qe + AMD R9 390 = will it work?

likeuknowwhatever · Nov 20, 2015

I have a R9 390, a vg248qe and I'm desperately trying to find a way to watch 3D movies on my monitor, without replacing the card or the monitor.

I assume 3D gaming with nVidia 3d Vision is not going to work, since I have an AMD card, but what about movies?

I use Displayport to connect the monitor to the GPU.

I think 3d vision is strictly for NVIDIA. But don't quote me

^they even have specific kit for it that will only work with nvidia hardware only. Though i don't know if you can force the monitor to work with other 3D tech or not. But i think nvidia kit will not going to work with monitors without 3D vision certification.

3d vision is NVIDIA only

I just bought it. It's true, you need nVidia GPU to make it work, even if it's only for 3d movies.

Gonna return the R9 390 and buy a 970 instead.

Sorry you had to return your card and downgrade it too.

double whammy

You could download Tridef 3D and see if you can get that to work. Tridef 3D is band agnostic and it works with my 3D Vision monitor with both my AMD and Nvidia cards, though I am limited to HDMI for AMD, which drops me to 720p in 3D. That monitor likely has the same issue, as I believe both only allow 3D through the DVI-D and HDMI ports, but not the DP port.

A 390 to 970 isnt a downgrade. It is basically the same GPU

And if i replace my Chevrolet's fuel tank with one that holds 45% as much fuel, it's still basically the same truck.

Doesn't mean it's not a downgrade.

jerdle :

That's not a comparable analogy. Is a complete waste of extra VRAM worth anything? About all it is worth is peace of mind that some day in the future it might be useful, but in most cases, when older video cards lack enough VRAM for particular settings, they also lack the power to utilize them. And if AMD really thought that 8GB was so needed, their flagship GPU wouldn't come with 4GB.

that's what i think about those 8GB 390s. just look at the original titan. does the 6GB VRAM actually that useful for gaming? in the end the card still not any faster from the likes of 290 and 970 in 4k despite having more VRAM. in VRAM hungry games to boot.
