I think guildwars isnt initiating the 3d vision engine correctly when swapping to the appropriate refresh rates , possibly a driver issue but im using a certified 306.02.

either way having the screen in 3d mode before guildwars launches works.
glad I could help.

Hi I have a desktop PC getting low FPS performance and intializing issues

306.02-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-certified driver.
i7-3820 3.6GHz (8 core)
16384mb ram
gtx670-
I would expect extreme performance from a rig like this.

in general play
in stereo 3d I only seem to be getting about ~29/30 fps on max settings @1920x1080.
60 fps for non 3d.

however in PVP/larger scale pve it doesnt perform as well. it dips down to about 20 fps making it an unplesant experience.

I have this same issue “Unable to initialize 3D output.
Please verify that you have installed Directx9 and an updated video driver”
I have a gtx670 as well and are using 306.02-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-certified driver.

However I have found a workaround to get guildwars working in stereo 3d.
For this first open the 3D Vision Photo Viewer .
Now open a 3d photo that was included with the drivers in default dir
(mine was C:\Users\Public\Pictures\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision Experience\3D Vision preview pack 1)
* any stereo 3d pic will do doesnt have to be nvidia supplied*

open view tab > select stereo windowed
your screen should now be in 3d mode/refresh rate and the image displaying correctly in 3d.

Now dont close the image and open gw2 as you normally would.
Gw2 will now run in stereo3d .
this method works with my gtx670 and ASUSVG278H 3dvision2.

It appears that gw2 is having some trouble initializing/starting up the 3dvision with gtx670 .
By having the screen already in 3dmode it doesnt seem to have any issues.

@humanevil.8461
check you have 3D enabled in nvidia control panel 1st
is your samsung tv nividia certified 3dvision compatible? if not the stereo3d option wont work ingame.
However your samsung tv may have an 3d button on the remote for 3d step up ,
use that instead if its not 3dvision compatible.
