Games lagging with lightboost hack?

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. Turns out you have to Enable and then Disable 3D mode twice with Toasty's then reboot.

What video card is this?
Your sig says its an AMD 7970.
You shouldn't need ANY infs to use lightboost on the AMD card. You just need to initialize the monitor on a compatible Geforce card or laptop (500m+ I think), and you may need the INF for that, or maybe even the 3d_vision_emulator.zip file, to trick the drivers into allowing the stereoscopic drivers to install, and that's it.
It's actually EASIER to run lightboost on a HD 7970 since once the monitor is initialized, you just unplug it from the Geforce system (without unplugging the monitor from the wall, use the lightboost.bin file with newest CRU on the AMD system, and you have perfectly working lightboost in everything.

It seems to be more tricky on the card it was designed for....
 
I have a GTX 690, I just got it recently and haven't posted anything in my sig yet. I actually managed to figure it out, I'll lock this thread. Thank you though!
 
Yes, that's the magic trick of LightBoost 2D operation.
You need to make the computer think it's running in 2D mode while the display is still stuck in 3D mode (stroboscopic mode).
That's how you eliminate the vast majority of LightBoost input lag.

(From LightBoost HOWTO)
TIP: Improving Convenience, Stability & Eliminating “Control+T”:
Once you’ve verified LightBoost works (Step 12), and the registry tweak was already installed (Step 4), you can make LightBoost “stick” by going to nVidia Control Panel and disabling “Enable Stereoscopic 3D” (clear the checkbox in Step 8). If the screen did not flicker when doing this, LightBoost is still enabled even after disabling 3D!
– Games launch in 2D without needing Control+T
– Driver stability is improved in this mode, less freezing occurs.
- VSYNC OFF now works much more reliably, reducing input lag, fps higher than Hz.
(Note: Some games may automatically switch resolutions; make sure it stays at 120 Hz)
