Found this on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0-Exu1dWok Skip to about 5:40 to see BattleField BC2 in 3D Triple Screen. Looks cool! WoW is right after it. |

What are the requirements really for 3D? 1. Nvidia gtx4*0 GPUs? 2. 3D Monitor? So no ATI 5000 series? |

What are the requirements really for 3D? For Nvidia  you just need an NVidia card, 3D monitor (120hz) and there glasses, as far as I'm aware NVidia already do 3D with them monitors, its just that will be put into a driver update at some point.

Fair point, you will need 2 cards in SLI and 3 3D monitors for for , but for single screen 3D you only need the one. And it can be a GTX 2** card. That's my fault for trying to get people to ask to have my smiley put into the list when the original question was just about normal 3D :doh

On nvidia's web site, it says "1NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround requires upcoming NVIDIA release 256 driver, two or more graphics cards in NVIDIA SLI configuration, 3D Vision glasses, and 3D Vision-Ready displays. See http://www.nvidia.com/surround for more information." Any idea of a rough release date for that driver? :) -Erik |

"Weeks" was what nVidia have said to... Anandtech I think. But "weeks" in nVidia time could mean anything from tomorrow (ie: Sunday, start of a new week) to just before Christmas. |

Yeah.... I've been running a pair of 280GTX's in SLI for awhile now. I'm hopeful that I can finally take my TH2Go-D box out of the loop and use my three monitor's native res (1600x1200) to get a nice sharp 4800x1200 instead of my default 3840x1024. The 'ol Matrox box has served me well, but I look forward to this driver upgrade (and pray it works). At least one of the slides from PAX East I saw shows that bezel management is included with the drivers.... so that's good news. |

Currently I'm running two 8800GTS cards side-by-side for my three monitors, and using SoftTH for the few games which support Triplehead and allow me to get decent framerates. It would be nice if they allowed older Nvidia cards to work with their new "surround" support, but I'm not holding my breath. |
