3D or not 3D?

Hello! Just installed my second gtx 470 today and my PC is eating up games like a monster

The next step in my never-ending upgrade quest is to either go 3D, or use 3 monitors for 2D surround.

I'm doubtful whether even my 2 470s would always give 120fps to meet every Hz of the refresh rate, so what happens when the FPS goes lower than 120 when using 3D? I'm the kind of geek that requires smooth gameplay with everything on maximum, but I'm a bit concerned at any cut to quality while trying to meet the 120 fps needed for a 3D monitor.

Any advice guys?

Hiya guys, thanks for the advice

I think I will shelve the 3D plans for the moment. After a day of info-gathering, I think your right 3t3P, I'm probably better waiting for 3D tech to get a bit better.

A 27" screen sounds pretty awesome tbh I play a lot of FPS multiplayer from L4D2 to BFBC2 so having that extra screen real estate will be a wicked boost to my gaming.

I love the idea of 3D, but atm it seems like there are a lot of limitations to it. Cheers guys.

Aw guys if only I had the room for a projector

I just don't want to get a 3D set-up and then be annoyed because there is tons of ghosting and the image quality suffers.

How much ghosting do you 3D people get when your playing? Also, I heard that 3D screens are really dark in-game.
