cannot watch 3D films on Asus vg248qe Help

Hi all

My new monitor came today the Asus vg248qe

I have a few 3d movies on my computer so as this monitor is a 3D one, I thought id watch a 3D film.

So I started cyberlink powerdvd 10 and selected my film, it started then I clicked on the 3D icon and I keep getting a message that read:

cyberlink powerdvd could not enable 3D Playback, try using a different 3D display

I just cannot figure out what im doing wrong, I have done that BD advisor and everything is GREEN
my monitor is connected to my computer via a dual link DVI cable

my system specs are more then capable of playing 3d

intel i5 3570k
asus sabertooth z77
corsair vengeance pro ddr3 16gb
Asus R9 290

can anybody give me any advice please

Could it be that the monitor u have is a nVidia 3D vision monitor that only works in 3D with nVidia cards. Ur sig says u have an AMD Radion gfx card. Maybe it will work with a hack of some sort.

That's where you're going wrong, you need a decent Nvidia Card for the whole thing to work. a 560 should do it

return the asus and get an amd hd3d monitor instead

iv still nto managed to solve the problem, I know I need an NVidia card

In my experience 3D is hardly worth the effort, let alone swapping gpus/monitors.

I have a ASUS 560ti Direct CU II 1gb I was looking to sell if you are interested. I dont need a r9 290 though

You will also need nvidias 3D vision kit which includes the active glasses and receiver. These monitors dont work with passive 3D glasses.

is 3d really worth it on such a small monitor?
