It's not man. *sigh*

Unfortunatly i cannot afford a 3dkit plus Monitor, but I guess its really cool! B)

It's really sad that so many people have not experienced gaming in 3d on a PC game with a good setup. If you've seen a 3d movie you haven't seen what 3d can do in a PC game. If you've played 3d on a console you haven't seen what 3d can do in a PC game. The OP may sound like an advertisemant but from my own experiences over the past two years using the 3D Vision setup it is absolutely true. When you setup the depth and convergence correctly in a game that renders well in 3d the effect is astounding. It is not just mildly different, it is truly astounding. It is something that you really have to experience for yourself with the right game and with time to experiment with the settings until you understand how they work.

The only thing that I don't like about my 3d setup is the loss of brightness that comes from using the glasses. That is why I really want to get my hands on the Sony HMZ-T1 hmd setup, because it doesn't suffer from a brightness loss. I currently use a DLP projector so I already have crosstalk free gaming which is the other big complaint often leveled against 3d.

I know that alot of people will refuse to believe any of this but hopefully someone who is genuinely curious to see if PC 3d gaming is really better will be tempted enough to give it a shot.

Really now? Take your idiotic advertising and walk far away from this place. 3D will never be immersive or natural to our brains. I am waiting a Matrix-like device.

Can I bragg with my Radeon that is worth 2k bucks, NOW?

Hmm, not at all. 3D stereoscopy on a computer is pretty perfect considering the limitations of the 2D screens we use to render 3D worlds currently.

Layers of pseudo-3D? How can that be? It would take the game developers MORE effort to make it look like that instead of rendering two scenes with the camera moved slightly to the left and right.

I have never been impressed by 3-d games. Object gain a blue screen feel to me. But hey if the illusion works for you that is great.

I bought a 120hz monitor a while back just for the 120hz, it came with a 3D vision kit but after using a few times I decided it was a gimmick. IMO it adds nothing to the experience and sometimes, even on '3D Ready' titles, it takes away from it, due to either visual lag or jarring transitions between non-3D cutscenes and 3D gameplay. Not to mention the 3D itself is really nothing to get excited over. If you've seen a 3D movie before then you know what to expect.

That said I can't find the damn 3D glasses to try out on Skyrim. I have the transmitter thing but the glasses are just...gone

I hope you find the glasses.

If you do please try two games: Witcher 2 & Skyrim. I'm sure you will be pleased.

I'm just a huge fan of 3D. You guys are welcome to come to my livestream channel and chat with me while I stream Skyrim.

umm? I hope your joking. :laugh:

Meh. I hated Witcher 1 so I doubt I'll even pick up 2. And like I said before 3D is fairly unimpressive so I'm not expecting anything out of this but a headache.

Someone made a post like this on the forum for the last game I played (Deus Ex, although their post was about how it didn't work on Deus Ex but had looked great on some other games.)

They were convincing enough so that I went out and got the kit. But here's the problem. The optimal 3D Vision experience is available only on a small number of specially chosen/licensed displays. Of this small selection, most are either small LCD monitors (23" or 27"), or large DLP sets. (There is a related option called 3d play that lets you use a wider selection of displays, but you have to choose a reduction to either 720p or 30 fps.)

My main gaming monitor is 40" Samsung. I like it a lot. I tried replacing it with a 3D Vision 27", but even though the 3D effect was pretty cool, I hated the smaller size. I gave myself some time to get used to it, but I never did -- the smaller size always felt like a big sacrifice to me. I returned all the 3d gear just before the 30 day window ran out.

The other issue is that game compatibility is a mixed bag. It turns out of the games I was playing then, only one really worked well (crysis 2). Deus Ex wasn't supported at all (at the time, since patched) and my other games all had misc issues that to me made the whole experience more trouble than it was worth.

So my advice is: if you happen to have all the right kit, and you're playing a well supported game, definitely try it. You may like it. But I would not spend any money on buying specially branded displays, adapters, or glasses. The technology is just not standardized enough yet, and even if it works some of the time today, you're stuff is likely to become "yesterday's technology" and no longer supported all too quickly.

Hopefully the industry gets it act together in the next couple years and comes up with one standard, that all the displays / cards / games / glasses all use, so then we can enjoy the 3d experience in peace.

After spending the first 30 minutes of Avatar 'learning' how to watch 3D I decided it wasn't for me, I couldn't imagine relaxing and doing that, seemed like it would eventually give me a massive headache. Sure I kinda got used to it and the film looked beautiful enough to distract me from the plot which was just an excuse to tie the 3d set pieces together. This was at a London IMAX 3D screening which we waited a week for. Maybe gaming is different? I'd imagine color TV did recieve the same response due to the migraine inducing refresh rate on early TV's.

Well I have the Nvidia 3D glasses and a 120Hz monitor and it's great with Skyrim for me But I had a friend visiting so I showed him skyrim in 3D and every thing that seemed great to me was all blurred to him..

So not all people can see perfact in 3D it seems.

Yeeeeeah. I learned the hard way back in the day to never buy "state of the art" anything, especially something so new and "niche" oriented such as 3d Vision. Its never worth the price. EVER.

Its like telling me that brand name computer companies build better computers suited for my gaming needs that cost several thousands dollars of which I could build myself for a fraction of the cost.

No way in hell.

Damn con artists.

:down:

I don't understand why some people actually get upset when other people enjoy 3D. It's not a gimmick, it's a freaking feature of some products. If you don't like it, fine, go away. That doesn't mean that the feature is cheap or gimmicky. I happen to love my 3DS, and I love 3D movies. There's nothing cheap about it either, it takes a lot of money and careful manufacturing to get 3D to work right.

Anyway, I agree with the OP 100%
3D views of a place like Skyrim would be amazing. I don't have a monitor or a TV capable of it yet, but I have enjoyed it on other platforms and I'm sure it's staggering. I can just imagine looking over a cliff or off the top of some mountain in the full 3D mode. Goodness.



Well... except for the fact that you probably can't build a 3D television by yourself. Or any television.

I like 3D. It was worth it for my 3DS. I haven't looked at 3D computer monitors yet, so I can't say whether or not they are worth it. But they might be, if not now then in a few years certainly. It is very cool, especially when playing an RPG.

I'm sure this looks good and I would loved to see the gaam is such a way
But before I even start thinking about acquiring this stuff I have one specific questions, on which the decision hinges.

This 3D vision thing, is that not something you use with some kind of 3D glasses?
If it is I have seen this in use before and it has one major flaw.

A person like myself who have a less than perfect eyesight, and need glasses to see properly, cannot use such 3D glasses.
The reason for this should be obvious but I will elaborate for those unable to see this.

The 3D glasses works like a pair of regular glasses and as such for them to sit properly and give the proper effects I would have to remove my regular glasses.
My problem then would be that I would not be able to see a damn thing on the screen, because I am nearsighted Everything on the screen would be a blur to me at the distance I am sitting from my monitor.

So unless it something where I dont have to replace my regular glasses with anything else just to get the 3D experience, I will pass on the opportunity.
And please dont tell me to use contact lenses, I have tried that and, for personal reasons, much prefer using glasses.

I think my 3D glasses were advertised to have been designed to sit on top of any current glasses and this is what I attribute the gap between them and my eyes being for. I seem to remember that most glasses are advertised to be designed like this too. I also remember some 3D glasses also having prescription lenses somewhere but I don't know how that would work.

I don't use glasses though, so I can't guarantee that they'll fit well. I also don't use NVIDIA's glasses so I don't know about them in particular.

It's probably not an obstacle though, you'll just have to do some research on the topic, maybe find a way to try the 3D glasses before buying or making sure you can send it back in case they don't work for you.

No complaints here. Skyrim is the Avatar of 3D. Truly amazing.

What you have to remember is the bigger the better for 3D. I'm lucky enough to have an uber PC and a Panasonic 65" VT30 which is mega expensive I know.
On this etup the 3D blows your mind in Skyrim. How many people have tried it on this setup - not many so it's easy for people to dismiss it.

It amazes me why the developers didn't push this technology - probably because consoles couldn't handle the frame rate drop, people don't have huge 3DTVs etc. Although sony made a big song and dance about the 3D in uncharted 3 which is very good. Honestly when everybody can afford this tech, and they fix 1080p at 60hz, it's the future of gaming.

For PC's users it's a no brainer if you have the equipment you'll enter a whole new world..

what setting do you run the game when using stereoscopic? I need to lower way to much to get an deasent flow

Asus Gtx 560 ti ''fabrick clocked to 900mhz
i5 760 'set to 3.3g
8g 1600mhz

THe 3d tech is pretty much the same. I play it in #d on a large screen HDTv full view . At times I feel sick to my stomach when fightign a dragon or jumping to high. IT looks better on larger 3D inabled sets.

I'm really excited about this new technology myself! Have you heard about the new NVidia 3D Vision 2?

Now it all starts with these amazing gamer inspiried glasses. The frames are 20% larger than their last glasses and this gives you a much wider viewing angle and much better light blocking for total immersion when you play all of your games. The glasses are also made of a softer material, so they're more comfortable for longer term viewing and they're even going to fit better with your gaming headphones. These new glasses are perfect for over the 550 3D enabled games on the market today! Or maybe you'd want to watch blue-ray 3D movies or stream 3D videos at YouTube or 3DVisionLive.

Plus, the common problem with 3D gaming - the darkness of the glasses - has been fixed as well. NVidia has worked closely with their laptop and monitor partners to find a solution and they did. They call it NVidia 3D Lightboost Technology. It will increase your screen brightness by up to TWO TIMES over previous 3D Vision monitors and also makes it easier to see your keyboard and that's really cool, especially for games that require a lot of keystrokes.

So, what do you need to do to upgrade your PC to 3D?

Well, you need the glasses of course and you also need a 3D monitor or notebook.

But to really experience NVidia 3D Lightboost Technology, you're going to need a brand new monitor from ASUS, ACER or BENQ or a notebook from TOSHIBA. You can find a complete list of products at their website.

This is the most immersive experience that I've ever seen. Now, as a gamer myself, I'm super excited. Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Gears of War, all these titles are going to look amazing in 3D - same with racing games or whatever you're excited to play.

Now if you're a serious gamer or into movies, you have to check out the 3D glasses and the Lightboost Technology.

So when you gear up to play the hottest games this holiday season, make sure you ask for a 3D Lightboost monitor and the 3D Vision 2 glasses to get the ultimate immersive experience.

3D svcks. Holographics is the true 3D.

Having fun playing Holo Skyrim? :whistling:

Got my 3D vision equipment around here somewhere. I'll try it out
