Hi all,
I’m trying to choose a custom Direct 3D or OpenGL setting for my 3D program, but the drop down menus are empty!
To check if your same drop down menus are empty for you as well, please go to start > control pannel > display > settings > advanced > adapter > properties > GeForce 2 GTS (or your card) > other properties > OpneGL settings > custom open gl settings drop down menu.
Any tips on how could I have choices for Softimage Xsi, Maya, etc? It used to be there on Win2k (I had to tweak the registery and find a file for it to work, but I don’t remember how I did 
)
I’m on Win XP Pro, with the latest Detonator from nvidia.com.
Thanks,

What’s this thing “RivaTuner”? Isn’t it for TNT card’s?
no they do not cancel each other out.
he said that whenver you install new drivers for your NVIDIA cards, make sure that you patch them first, as if you just install them right after downloading, they will not enable the Quadro features on your GeForce cards.
Just download RivaTuner, and follow the instructions on the site, or visit this link http://guru3d.com/forum/read\_msg.php?tid=2…0&forumid=ubb11 for a detailed explanation I wrote in their forum on how to use the SoftQuadro scripts to patch your drivers.
I suggest you wait for the next release of RivaTuner because the author has implemented a new patch script that fixes some problems with the previous release. That problem was the display drivers getting stuck in an infinite loop when using drivers versions 14.xx and above. I was a beta tester of the new patches and I must say that they work wonders. I had some problems with using Maya with early patches, but with the new one, those problems are eliminated. Keep in mind that this only happened to few people, not the majority. If you have this, patch the driver versions before the 14.xx and aboven series.
Ok i think i’d bettter go to class now cause I’m late. Have fun

yes it’s part of riva tuner (no reason for 2 programs)^ read above
ok here’s some more help for the guy that posted the original question on how to enable the special Open GL features for specific programs. visit this site http://www.nvworld.ru/docs/sqe.htmlhttp://www.nvworld.ru/docs/sqe.html it has detailed explanation on how to do it. one word of caution though, if you set the options for AliasWavefront Maya, it will enable Overlays, and that will extremely slow down your work flow.
It used to be that previous versions of Maya (1,2,3) needed enabled overlays to get good performance out of the artisan tools, but they took that requrment out, so MAKE SURE YOU DISABLE OVERLAYS for much much improved performance. . hehe (all CAPS = good attention getter)
