Samsung Odyssey 3D - G90XF Megathread

[VR_Nima]

This is the thread for the Samsung Odyssey 3D model G90XF PC monitor. This is a high-end 4K 165 hertz IPS-LCD monitor that has the world’s best glasses-free 3D display.

Base Specs

• Resolution: The Samsung Odyssey 3D delivers a sharp 3840x2160 (4K) resolution.
• Refresh Rate: Samsung Odyssey 3D is 165hz.
• Response Time: <1ms response time.
• 2D Viewing Angle: Due to being an In-plane Switching (IPS) LCD, the Odyssey 3D has a super wide viewing angle, nearly encompassing the full 180 degrees both vertically and horizontally without noticeable dimming or color shifting.

3D Specs

• Glasses-free: You see stereoscopic 3D, glasses-free, instantly when viewing supported 3D content. This is enabled through a polarized switchable lenticular optic in front of the display.
• Head-tracked 3D: Monitor tracks your head to enable a wide field of view / viewing angle in 3D. The downside is that 3D only works for one user at a time. It locks onto whichever person is detected being closest to the display. This is the best head-tracking ever in a consumer 3D device.
• Switchable: Unlike many other 3D displays, this one is fully switchable, meaning you get full resolution and full frame rate in 2D mode. The 3D features don’t negatively impact your 2D experience.
• 3D Resolution: You get 1920x2160 per eye, which is on paper a full 2x the pixels of a 1080p HD resolution display per eye. But for some content your perceived resolution will be lower, and for some content it will be higher. It depends on whether the content was optimized for the display or not.
• 3D Refresh Rate: Unlike old 3D tech like 3DTVs which cut your refresh rate in half, this display gives you a full 165 hertz refresh rate fully accessible in 3D.
• HDR: HDR is available in 2D, but there is currently no HDR available in 3D, which is unfortunate. Maybe Samsung will enable it in a future update.
• 3D Brightness: This is a next-generation glasses-free 3D display, so unlike older 3D devices, the image in 3D mode is equally as bright as it is in 2D mode.

3D Drivers

• Reality Hub: Samsung Reality Hub is the driver, runtime, and software launcher that enable stereoscopic 3D on the Odyssey 3D. You can get Reality Hub directly from Samsung's website or from the Microsoft Store. The Microsoft Store version has an auto-update feature. Ensure Reality Hub is downloaded before trying to enable 3D.

Official Hardware Requirements

• CPU
• Intel: Samsung says “i7 or Higher”, which doesn’t really mean anything. If you find an i3 or i5 that works or an older i7 or i9 that doesn’t, please comment on this thread.
• AMD: Ryzen7 1700X or later.
• GPU
• Nvidia: RTX 3080, 3080-Ti, 3090, 3090-Ti, 4070, 4070 -Ti, 4070-Ti Super, 4080, 4080 Super, 4090, or better
• AMD: Radeon 6900 XT, 6950 XT, 7900 XT, 7900 XTX, or better
• RAM
• 32GB or more of DDR5-5600 or faster
• PCIe
• PCIe 5.0
• OS
• Windows 10, 64-bit, Version 22H2 or newer

This is what Samsung says is officially supported as the min spec for 3D. But unofficially, we’ve found a lot of other hardware that’s weaker than what’s listed works perfectly fine. If you’re having issues getting the monitor to work and you have the supported hardware, make sure you have a supported HDMI or DisplayPort cable plugged in, as well as ensure the USB cable between the monitor and the computer is plugged in as well. 3D can NOT work without the USB connection! You must also select the port you wish to enable 3D mode for within the monitor OSD.

AI 3D Conversion Hardware Requirements

• All other min specs are the same for AI 3D Conversion, except for GPU. ONLY Nvidia is supported, and only select 3000-series and 4000-series cards will work.
• GPU
• Nvidia: RTX 3080, 3080-Ti, 3090, 3090-Ti, 4070, 4070-Ti, 4070-Ti Super, 4080, 4080 Super, 4090. If you find one of these cards doesn’t work or a model outside of these does, please post your exact model in this thread.

I’m aware, the windows version is 1.09 (previous).  I need the exe file, because I’m installing the app outside the windows store.

could someone please send the 1.09 version of the app to my private message?

could Samsung please upload the 1.09 (previous version) to the product support page?  

is the previous version 1.09 available for download anywhere on Samsung support page?

additional fyi, I already installed .net runtime pre reqs.  My pc is connected with the usb cable, and display port cable 1.4 setting enable in the on screen settings (select a 3d enabled pc).  I already installed all the driver updates for the product, and I flashed the monitor version to the current version update (all from the Samsung official product support page)

I really need the 1.09 version of the reality hub app to troubleshoot further.

[VirtualDavey]

Not exactly what you're looking for, but 1.06 and 1.08 are located here:

[idvalid]

Thanks, I’ll give these versions a shot (1.06, 1.08) 

further help is appreciated, If anyone else has 1.09, or any advice how to proceed

[LeMulle]

Just in case you're still looking for this, 1.0.9 can be found here: https://archive.org/details/odyssey-3d-hub-1.0.9

Anyone else have any issues with Odyssey 3D Hub supported titles from the Microsoft Store not being detected by the app?  Also unable to set the path due being unable to select the path/.exe, as MS Store games do not allow access to the files, therefore unable to select the .exe (you do not have permission to access these files). Odyssey Hub 3D says both Steam and Microsoft Store versions are supported. 

[VirtualDavey]

I don't think I got any Microsoft Store games to work unfortunately. And you're correct, many (but not all) of the games are hidden and unable to be redirected to the Hub app. Even the ones that aren't hidden crash upon launching if using the Hub app. This was discussed in the Odyssey Reddit forums. Someone got them to work, but only a couple times. He's tried to figure out how but has been unable to duplicate it. I think he's giving up at this point because launching them was so unreliable. It was mentioned that Microsoft Store games had an extra layer of security that prevents the Odyssey Hub app from launching them.

[LeMulle]

Yes, Odyssey 3D Hub is extremely buggy when trying to launch games from the MS Store. I've seen it work, but only very rarely, after setting the path to gamelauncherhelper.exe in a game's content folder. It fails almost every time, but once in a blue moon, it'll just randomly work in 3D. Playing another game beforehand (not from the MS-store) seems to possibly improve the chances, but it's by no means consistent.

Does anyone know whether the 600+ titles supported by Praydog’s UEVR (Universal Unreal Engine VR Injector) can be played in stereoscopic 3D? That would be awesome—or is it going to be a major headache to get them running?

[VR_Nima]

@ExodusVR Yeah, all the UEVR games work, you just have to add the VRto3D plugin to UEVR and then it'll render properly on the Samsung Odyssey 3D.

[greg8]

Samsung please consider adding advanced options to increase the convergence (pop out) beyond the existing limitations.    The existing limitations of the monitor for long time 3D enthusiasts is disappointing.
