From 7970 to NVIDIA (for 3D) Which Card?

[ssmacc]

Hello All,

I'm thinking about getting a new 27" 3D monitor for some 3D gaming, I currently have a 7970 so assume I'll need to sell and get a NVIDIA card, but which one? Not sure what I'll get for the 7970 but I don't want to add much more (maybe another £100).

Looking at the monitors below.

You will need to ask in the Members Market price checking area to find out a price for your HD7970

Also look in the sale area as well notice few people are selling up older NVidia cards to upgrade to newer ones.

You can use Tridef with your 7970 for 3d ?

I'm not well read on 3D! Will TriDef work on the monitors linked above? (OP)

No... I'm 95% certain those (and the BenQ screens which I am 100% certain) are locked to nVidia 3D.

Looks like a good screen. However, I've got used to my 27" monitor so don't want go smaller (although I can remember when my 19" CRT was huge!)

I'm still running 3d vision on my 470, (24" 1080p)
I've overclocked a fair bit so more like 570 power but turn down a few settings and its perfectly acceptable for me. I find 3dvision generally costs a 40% hit on FPS. If you run cards stock, I'd recommend anything from 570/660 up.

I have the ASUS, great gaming screen although I don't use it for 3D.
