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.

Reality Hub 3D Games

• Lies of P
• Stray
• Dragonball Z: Kakarot
• Little Nightmares II
• F.I.S.T.
• SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake

Problem with 3D Software:
Since about 3 days, my Monitor/Software is not working anymore. (I got the monitor for ~ 1 month now and never faced such severe issues)
It looks like the 3D Hub is crashing all the time.
While searching for error sources, I found out that the SRDashboard.exe has some issues with the Service.

What I have tried:
- Rebooting
- Running as admin
- factory-resetting the monitor itself
- Reinstall everything needed (Using the newest sources from Samsung https://www.samsung.com/de/support/model/LS27FG904XUXEN/#downloads)
- going back to 3D Hub 1.14

Using a fresh installed environment also won't help either.
Odyssey 3D Hub starts, Blackout and then closes itself. (After multiple attempts, it might start, but without any 3D.)
If started in “Non-3D-Mode" I am not able to start any game.
It also looks like the Camera is not working properly with Odyssey3DHub due to the missing red status LED. I am sure that the camera still works, because I can use it independently e.g. using the Windows Camera-App.
The USB-Connection to my PC also cant be the error source. Because there is a warning popup that without it 3DHub is not available. (At least some information is given)

No fixes are working atm.

Would be nice if someone could help me out here. it's so frustrating that it won't work anymore. 😞

I found out that for me it is this windows update that "kills it":

2025-09 Kumulatives Update für Windows 11, version 25H2 für x64-basierte Systeme (KB5065789) (26200.6718)

After deinstalling this specific update it works again.

[PR0Z3R0]

With Software version v1.2.2 this issue seems to be fixed somehow.

When will the requirements for RTX 50XX hit the thread?

[ddaniel51]

Information for the RTX 50xx series would be better served from the NVIDIA forums, not in this thread about a Samsung 3D monitor.

[VR_Nima]

I think he obviously means information and support with using the current 5000-series graphics cards with the Samsung Odyssey 3D.

That's very relevant to this thread. Asking about compatibility with those cards and this monitor on the Nvidia Forums wouldn't get you any useful information.

[benedict139]

Let me explain. The monitor will not work without a sufficiently powerful graphics card. Which model(s) of the RTX 50XX will work on this 3D monitor?

[VirtualDavey]

Perhaps this might help:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Odyssey3D/comments/1mxycvn/nvidia_50series_does_actually_work_w_samsung/

On a related note, I use a 3060 with this monitor with no issues.

[benedict139]

I figured something as powerful as RTX 5080 would work. I’m interested in what LOWER models would work, like RTX 5050, 5060 or even lower. You said you used RTX 3060 with no issues? Then why does the thread say one needs RTX 3080? That’s a big bump! I’m nervous about spending $1000+ on laptop and another $1500+ on monitor unless I’m more sure that everything will work

[VirtualDavey]

There are a few GPUs that work which aren't listed officially. Actually the 5000 series isn't supposed to work with the AI 3D conversion (for viewing flat movies in 3D, for example), but after some tests it turns out it actually does work. You really should check out the Odyssey 3D forum on Reddit. It's far more active than here and you'll get answers to any of your concerns rather quickly (even faster if you join the 3D Vision Discord, in the "Glasses Free Monitors" section).
