To be honest the 3D is pretty wack, I tried it at FS on a rig they were selling as a higher end gaming rig
basically gives games made to utilize the 3D a little "depth" that's all and you've gotta keep the glasses tight to your face and stay at a fairly square position or else the effect is lessened Posted via RS Mobile | |

yea..I felt the same when I played with the demo. It's cool at first, but I can imagine the novelty wears out quickly.
PS: I was under the impression that an ATI graphics card won't work with the Nvidia glasses. (Nvidia graphics card ONLY)

You need to stop wasting your time.
seriously 3d gaming is a total gimick right now, one of the few game actually designed for 3d is the avatar game which looks meh.

I've tried a couple games with those 3D glasses, lame as hell. I'll wait for the technology to grow and become more mainstream before diving into that. You need a Nvidia video card to work with those Nvidia glasses. http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Overview.html. Says you need a Geforce 8 or better.
