NVIDIA GEFORCE 3D VISION
3D gaming!! That’s going to be the
new mantra for gamers around the
world. With the new 3D Vision by
Nvidia, gaming is going to look a whole
lot different in the years to come. So what
exactly does it take to make your system
3D ready? Apart from the obvious, which
includes a 100 Hz monitor and the 3D
Vision glasses you will need at least an
Nvidia 8800GT card to be able to play
games in 3D. As of now there are only a
couple of monitors that support refresh
rates of over 100 Hz. These would include
the Sam-sung Sync-Master 2233RZ and the
View-sonic VX2265wm.
The monitor that was used to test
the Ge-force 3D Vision glasses was the
Sam-sung Sync-master 2233RZ along
with a 9600GT card. With the new 3D
glasses on, games looked way different
than conventional 2D ones. This is
true especially when you take into
consideration racing and FPS games.
The overall depth and feel that you get
with these on is nothing compared to
games played in 2D. Over and above all
this the 3D Vision has support for over
300 games with Resident Evil 5 and
Batman: Arkham Asylum being the most
compatible of the lot. In other words they
are 3D Vision ready. You can also view
the overall compatibility of a game by
accessing the Nvidia control panel where
the games are given a rating such as 3D
Vision ready, Excellent, Good and Fair.
