HTPC and 3D card

[easyrider]

I'm wanting to build a HTPC for cinema room number 2


This will be connected to my 3D Panasonic Plasma

What GFX do I need to play Blurays in 3D

Thanks

easy


p.s out of the loop for the last few months on new hardware

HDMI 1.4a for stereoscopic (3D) displays

1 x MSI HD 6450 1024MB GDDR3 Low Profile PCI-Express Graphics Card £31.99



That should cover 3D bluray.


Is it a 'new' build or a build from leftovers because if it's new, native 3D on the igp:

Immerse yourself in the awe of AMD HD3D gaming.

1 x AMD A10-5800K Black Edition 3.80GHz (Socket FM2) APU Trinity Quad Core Processor (AD580KWOHJBOX) £95.99



Intel i5-35's+ (HD4000 igp's) have this option too, but gaming performance isn't up to the A10's level, if you fancy a light game or two, probably in 2D though.

Have decided to get a 3D bluray player...

Does 3D gaming use side by side 3D or sequential?

It is sequential.
