Thoughts on Nvidia's 3D Vision?

You will never regret, belive me. I know it is little bit a head of the time, but it totally worth it.

About someone with headache problem : because everyone eyes is difference, and your comfortable focus point may be difference. You should do a little bit research about focus apoint, and learn how to config it with Vision 3D.

N Vision 3D have two things to config : depth level : how depth the picture display from your screen, and coverage : how far the object can be display from your screen toward your eyes (for pop out effect). By vary these two value you can change your focus point (in the screen, depth in the screen or out of your screen toward your eyes). With the correct setting you will never have headache.
 
I m starting to come to this conclusion as I have been looking into both eyeinfinty and 3d vision.

3D vision is the type were every time you get shot at you hide under the desk ;p

eyeinfinty is more of a field of view thing, you like play crysis and go wow of how much you can see with a very high res

so to sum them both up they both have that "wow" factor

correct me ?

Its amazing and far better then THAN its cracked up to be.
I am very happy I took the chance.

Everyone who says anything bad about it I guarantee hasn't tried it!

Had mine since launch day and it was fun at the start, but it soon wears off. Not that impressive at all. (so much for your guarantee)

You can get headaches for two reasons, eye strain from strange viewing, and fairly simply, from effectively shutting your eye on and off very quickly constantly, MANY people get headaches from it and its mostly for the second reason. There is no way to deal with it, if you get headaches its completely useless.

The thing is a tech will NEVER in a million years make it to the mainstream of support, if it induces physical sickness in people. IE< it will die like most other 3d incarnations before it and many more to come. Its not new, its very old, its pointless and having played several games on it, it add's almost nothing.

120hz screens being used at 120hz is a huge step for LCD's(maybe OLED's by the time its standard), killing that step up by running at 60hz effective is just soo soo pointless.

I'd kill for a half decent 120hz screen, I'm happy with TN but didn't like the ones available, would quite happily drop from a 24" to a well, I'd prefer a 20" over a 22" as they are shaper for the same def, but not to a completely crap 120hz screen.

Unfortunately I don't see there being many good quality 120hz screens till every manufacturer has a couple versions out.

Its quite possible people are waiting on OLED's before putting out their 120hz screens en masse, as they have a lot of advantages, and 120hz will be a pretty humongous step so by coupling it with OLED they basically have a superior product in every single way, which makes it easier to sell, especially if its a more expensive alternative which its likely to be.
 
Forget DX 11 which will only add minor effects, 3D vision is a key step into more immersive video games. I played iit for 5 minutes and now i'm saving up the money.

The difference is like going from 320x200 software rendered doom 2 to 3D accelerated 1024x768 Quake 3. Its a big difference.

Not many people get sick at all from 3d glasses, it is a small minority. Just like some people get car sick and others get headaches from fluorescent lights (which flick on and off at 50Hz) or TFT display which flicker at 60Hz.

Indeed a large problem is aliasing frequencies between 60Hz or even worse 75Hz screens and the 50Hz flicker from fluorescent lights.
 
I'll jump on it as soon as good 24" panels hit the market. Fermi should hopefully remove any performance issues at 1900x1200 on current titles, for me, it's more interesting than the multi monitor setup (I don't have the space unfortunately), I'd imagine 3D being more suited to fps and rts games whereas eyefinity's the choice for racing titles?

Hmm..
If you had looked at the eyefinty reviews you will see that most of it is FPS & RTS is right up that street as well besides the obvious racing games.
 
I recently put together a PC for my brother-in-law with a 275 in it. It came with those old school cardboard red and green glasses (sure-fire fashion statement there:cool:). Seemed a bit more of a gimmick than anything else. Didn't really work that well and gave a headache after a while.

They dont work well & are not a good test to see if you like it.
They make everything look silvery as it takes out the colours, 3D shutter glasses keep all colour in tact & really is amazing :)

Hmmm...yes I read plenty of the reviews, it's a very interesting technology, I was simply stating the uses I'd consider them best for If I was to purchase it.
 
I just noticed someone in this thread saying "it adds almost nothing". I dont know how this person can say that. The difference is night and day. Every person i know who plays games is well impressed with it. I cant see them being a novelty that will wear off. Two friends who dont even own a console, are now saving upfor a 3d vision setup as it impressed them so much. The others just wish they had the cash for it now.
I have had the setup over a month now. There are games i play that will never get played in 2d again, this feeling is now stronger than the first week i had the glasses.
I guessing maybe a year ago, the support was a lot worse, and maybe the 3d wasnt very impressive. But the games i play now, it is far better to play in 3d than 2d.
 
woudl seriously hold off. with 3dtv on way and non-proprietry 3d gear to be displayed at CES I woudlnt get locked into nvidia yet. reading around seems nvidia stuff isnt in line with the big tv manufacturers gear - would wait and see how this one develops to avoid a major waste of money on any 3d solution.

I'm pretty sure it will be worth it but I'd really want it to work fro 3d films/tv's etc not just nvidia twimtbp games.

- nvidia shutter glasses are not proprietary technology, its 10 years old
- the 3D tv's that will be on display at CES will just be 120/240hz models, same as the current monitors available
- nvidia 3D vision is compatible with the 3D blu ray spec
 
Out of the two 22" 120hz monitors, should I be looking at the Sammy or the Viewsonic? There's so little difference in price, and the specs seem exactly the same..
