3D Gaming

[willirob]

Anyone else out there gaming in 3D stereovision?

Or is it just me

 

[willirob]

currently playing HL2 in 3D - Our benefactors stuff if incredible.

Works with most games these days - need an nvidia card though

 

[willirob]

just need glasses from E3D - presuming you have a NVIDIA GPU.

Download drivers and off you go.

Benefits:

WOW factor
more immersive
WOW factor

they have them at either glomail or homemark type place


but i wasnt intested because of the whole verimark glomail thing


they sell rubbish

as far as i know everything has to be coded into 3d with a program so not sure how it would work with a game

 

[willirob]

All directx and opengl games are already coded for 3D and work fine.

Just need the Stereo3d drivers from here:

I'v never understood why this never took off

gonna try CS:Source in 3D tonight - will report back

Nothing like getting your butt whipped in 3D

 

[willirob]

Update:

CS: Source rocks in 3D (few issues with HUD)

So realistic its scary

try it

 

[Snekko]

Yeah

Never even knew about this it sounds really good, have 2 wait for some cash though, pity the glasses couldn't be a bit more stylish

 

[willirob]

yip - theyre a bit on the Geeky side.

btw have you found a local source - I might need another pair

 

[Snekko]

I've seen nothing locally, kinda sad really

 

[willirob]
