dafin0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi all, do any company start to publish games in 3d mode (Like movies) ? Is there any ? nvidia makes a product that allows you to play most game in 3D, you need a high end computer and a 120hz screen aswell http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Main.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 3D glasses, My nvidia card is 1 G.B. 9600 GT, LCD 19" Samsung screen, max resolution (1440 * 900) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmatic Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Well, are you telling me that I can play any game in 3D mode if I have these things?! I have a 3D glasses, My nvidia card is 1 G.B. 9600 GT, LCD 19" Samsung screen, max resolution (1440 * 900) you'll need driver support for that game too, but otherwise, yeah the 3d data already exists in the computer..... as opposed to a movie, which is just a series of 2d images...

omarsoudani Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 in my opinion, a faster NVIDIA video card than you have. Should I overclock the video card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookie Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 It wouldn't help. The card doesn't even support 3D I think. It's only the 200 models that do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpotato Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 There's also this http://www.iz3d.com/, which either works with a special monitor and glasses or those colored (red/blue) glasses with a regular monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted January 14, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 14, 2010 The 9600GT is the bare minimum which supports Nvidias 3D tech. But you need a high end 120Hz monitor also, and at least some kind of Core 2 Duo CPU or equivalent. I could not recommend trying 3D at this moment in time.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted January 14, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2010 My 8600GT supports the 3D stuff, all you have to do is render twice as fast as normal from two different camera positions, it isn't a hardware thing it's a driver thing.

Frogboy Administrators Posted January 14, 2010 Administrators Share Posted January 14, 2010 nVidia sent me over a whole kit to evaluate including their 3D Vision kit, a 240hz 3D ready monitor, and a GTX 295. Anyway, the results were mixed. I got a bit of a headache playing games but I was surprised at how well it worked. For instance, Sins of a Solar Empire looked amazing on it and so did Demigod. The problem, however, was in terms of playing. With Demigod, I kept wanting to move the mouse into the screen (it's hard to explain) because of the depth of field I got. With Sins of a Solar Empire, it looked amazing but it was harder to play because the computer readouts are close (i.e. think Z of 0) whereas the ships may be very far away. I think with some tweaking it could look great but I still got a headache very quickly. By contrast, I saw Avatar at the movies and it was a great experience and no headache. I'm still messing with it so I'll report more soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still messing with it so I'll report more soon. Sins of a Solar Empire when I tried it looked really terrible in 3d when I tried to adjust the convergence. (Ctrl F6) It made the backround move so far out it wasn't visible on the screen, so I had just had black behind my planets. Sins of a Solar Empire is rated Not Reccomended. If you try a 3D vision ready game like Batman or Resident Evil (or even a game rated Excellent), you should find you get less eyestrain/better 3D. I'd really appreciate it if Stardock started making(or partnership like SoaSE) 3D Vision ready games. 3D could be another thing on the long list of stuff you do really well.

whYeNQue Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 i think you can get anaglyph mode on lots of games (once they are patched)... get your glasses ready, here it is on quake: but yeh, i'm looking forward to the other 3d technologies in gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioFortress Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Does anyone know what sort of performance hit your get when using 3D vision? I'm thinking of buying a 3D monitor and have a Geforce 9800GT and a Core 2 Quad. (Most) games are nice and smooth with (almost) all settings on full, so I'd not want to change this. I'm guessing when you use 3D vision it's not as straight forward as just halving the games performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 26, 2010 It'll be a fairly large performance hit, as you do have to render each scene twice from 2 different positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
