Hey Guys,

Please could someone assist me with this? Im planning on buying the nVidia 3D Vision wireless glasses kit! Question!

1. Do I need to have a 3D Monitor/TV to use it?

2. Im running GTX 650 TI 2Gb, will it work on that card?

Been trying to look for answers but just cant find them!

Thanks..:D

Pretty scary. I was just about to post something similar to this :D

1. It depends what type of 3D Vision you are going to use. If you want to use the one they always advertise you need a compatible monitor and GPU. You can also get Anaglyph 3D (Red-Blue/Cyan 3D). Got to your NVidia control panel and turn this on. If you have some of those red/blue glasses you can test it out. It kills my head though :( But it is absolutely awesome. The depth is incredible.

By the way 3D Vision 2 is out now. Check this http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-main.html

2. Yes. Check here: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-650ti

It is a very expensive thing to get :(

Ok so whats the Different's between that Monitor 27" and a Samsung 42" 3D LED for more or less the same price???
 
Something I've been wondering about and I think you guys may be able to answer it for me: I've got an LG 23" 3D monitor (came with one pair of passive glasses) and I've watched 3D movies on it and done some 3D gaming. So where does nVidia Vision fit into all this? I don't have an nVidia card and everything worked out of the box and the only special piece of kit was the monitor that cost less than R2,000 a year ago.

The differences would be:

1. PPI (Pixel Density)
2. Colour reproduction.
3. Response times.
4. Refresh rates (in Hz)
and a few more.
 
but they charge so much more for (lets say) a capacitive touch control panel on the side of the screen...
cool but not worth a few hundred rand more

Mister 44 Ive been doing some research on that! Due to me not understanding why you would need nVidia if you got a 3D monitor! So sounds like the 3D depth increases aswell as clarity! Its less strain on your eyes and increases Mhz!! So if you got the 3D monitor and want better 3D picture then nVidia enhances that for you! Waste of money to me!!

Thanks for clearing that up, Neonfox. Makes sense. The 3D effect with only the monitor is not bad at all depth wise, but some of the effects we normally associate with games (like anti-aliasing) can cause glitches in some games. Ghosting is also more noticable in games than in 3D movies. And then there is the frame rate issues. 3D puts a lot of strain on your rig. I have found with tridef (the software side of the LG monitor 3D setup) that if you can't get frame rates above 50fps playing in 2D, the game would be close to unplayable in 3D.
If nVidia Vision can increase your frame rates, that may be worth the price tag.

The nVidia one is focused more on gaming. It provides solid 60Hz through each lense with a lot more clarity and depth. It has much lower patching lag between the frames making for much smoother gameplay. The colour is usually better and response times are also snappier. A lot of improvements...
