Nvidia is bringing all your games out of your PC (literally). The GeForce 3D Vision glasses launch announced by Nvidia in 2009 Consumer Electronics Show is one of the few products that gives a sneak into the future of gaming / computing. The device will let the PC gamers play games in stereoscopic 3D. The stereoscopic 3D technique is capable of creating a 3D effect out of a 2D monitor.
The Good
The glasses look great and have no hard edges. You don’t need to buy new games for this device. They work with your existing games like Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty : World at War , Fallout 3 and all others. All you need is a compatible Nvidia GPU and a LCD monitor with superior refresh rate (100+ Hz). The infrared editor can synchronize with multiple glasses so that more than one user can enjoy the 3D view. The depth of illusion can be changed with the help of a scroll. The glasses are large enough to fit over your prescription eyewear. And it comes with different nose pieces for better customization.
The Bad
It works best with a 100+ Hz monitor. So you’ll probably need a new monitor for this device. That makes it $199 for the glasses and another $399 for a new monitor. Few games have smaller graphical issues that can be ignored. It is best for gaming enthusiasts who would enjoy the complete new experience.
System Requirements
In addition to the special display requirements, you’ll also need Windows Vista; an Intel Core 2, AMD Athlon X2, or more powerful CPU; and a fairly recent GeForce GPU to get your system to work with GeForce 3D Vision. Supported GPUs include the GeForce GTX 295, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce GTX 280, GeForce GTX 260, GeForce 9800 GX2, GeForce 9800 GTX+, GeForce 9800 GTX, GeForce 9800 GT, GeForce 9600 GT, GeForce 8800 Ultra, GeForce 8800 GTX, GeForce 8800 GTS, and the GeForce 8800 GT.
