    I am currently running a setup with SLI 980M connected via Displayport to an Asus swift, I am running g-sync at 120fps with 3d enabled with no issues.

    Does G-sync actually work with 3D enabled ?

    Cool, was curious. But you have you 3d working fine..as in 980m support? Thinking about nvidia vision 2, but only if I can snag a kit cheap somewhere.

    Doesn't say its supported on Nvidia's webpage though. Just after a confirmation if anyone has done it.

    I used their support page. They informed me that while they didn't add that it was officially supported, if I had a 3D emitter in my laptop they would work perfectly fine. And Meaker has tried them with 3D in his ROG Swift apparently, so... yeah.

    Cheers for the clarity. I'd like a 3d emitter kit but they're not worth $150, atleast no for how little ill get to use them.

    Curious, would this work on Optimus enabled notebooks as well, like the GS60? Do the external ports go through the Intel igpu first or are they direct to the Nvidia gpu like my older GT60 is?

    Depends on the manufacturer. MSI routes it through the dGPU straight; notebooks like ASUS and Clevo did not, from what I remember.
