How do I play Skyrim in stereoscopic 3D?

Post » Wed Jun 13, 2012 10:15 pm

I have a 50" Panasonic plasma 3D hdtv and shutter glasses. How do I play Skyrim in 3D? I'm playing on a PC. I've already played PS3 and Xbox games in 3D with my hdtv and I've watched 3D movies like Avatar on it, but I don't know how to play Skyrim in 3D.

You can only play games in 3D which supports 3D

It does too work in 3D. Look it up on youtube. I think I need to buy some nvidia software to make it work.
Youtube has 3D videos now. All I had to do was set the youtube video to side-by-side 3D mode and put it on my hdtv in full screen.
I was able to see how Skyrim gameplay looks in stereoscopic 3D.

Skyrim is not listed as one of the games that supports 3D ready for nvidea.

I have heard of people playing Skyrim in 3D. Some TVs I think will allow for a sort of "fake" 3D setting, you might want to look that direction?

I heard that, while Skyrim isn't supported, you can still get it to work in 3D and it supposedly looks pretty good.

Well I just downloaded the trial version of 3dTV play and I'm going to try it.
From the videos it looks like Skyrim 3D works well. It's definitely real 3D, not fake.
Maybe nvidia's web site needs updating.

Considering Trine 2 is listed already I doubt its not showing because of lack update. Skyrim was a big game it would appear if it was supported.

I have a Panasonic 3D HDTV as well. The TV can mimick true 3D very well so it can handle it for you. Go into the TV menu and select the 3D options => 2D to 3D and put it on Maximum. You should have those glasses that you charge via USB, right? Pop em on. It looks really good on mine for being a 2D to 3D image.
