    wondering if a solution for the 6970m on 120hz panels has been achieved and if not is there any plans or supposed wait time? workarounds?

    The reason that it does not "work" is that the display does not route through the IGP @nvidia 3dvision.

    The 6970 is routed to screen via IGP, and HD Graphics 3000 does not support 120Hz output.
    ie - there is no workaround. Only "fix" will come if/when nvidia changes 3d vision, or Dell starts disabling IGP with 6970
