    M570TU + 120Hz monitor/ 3D Vision?

    Hey all,

    I have a M570TU and an AW M17x laptop and recently bought an AW2310 monitor and 3D vision kit.

    Problem is neither of my laptops seem to be able to drive the monitor correctly (driver 257.21).

    The M570TU has a DVI port and the 3D Vision drivers detect the monitor correctly but it keeps telling me it is not in 120Hz (also apparently I can run 120Hz @ 720p but when I try 1080p it gives an error saying the monitor does not support it).

    The M17x only has VGA, HDMI, and Displayport so I can't connect it at 120Hz, and apparently I can't use a Displayport to DVI.

    Now as far as I can tell the major problem with 120Hz is bandwidth.... but correct me if I'm wrong 1080p @ 60Hz will use more than double the data of 720p @ 120Hz.

    The only thing I can think of doing at this point is building a desktop just for the 3D setup. Any help is appreciated greatly thanks!

    Not sure if will be of specific help to you but for general information 3D panels work fine from external output on 480M chassis.
