Nvdia Stereoscopic 3D

Postby jjim » Sat Sep 05, 2009 11:17 am

Has anyone tried this. It's only recently arrived in Australia and I just got a kit. It looks great on some games and not so good on others. Far Cry and Halo 2 look fantastic. If anyone has used it yet any tips suggetions on how best to use it set it up much appreciated. :)

Thx hfric - Yes the Resident evil 5 looks absolutely amazing in 3D - (Virtual reality).
The only problem I have with using it is that It won't run on XP so I have to use my dual boot Vista . Until now I rarely use Vista - I just hate the look and feel of Vista and the way it won't let you always do what you want. I haven't tried W7 yet but it sounds as though its just like a Vista SP2.

turn off Aero and UAC ( http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows- ... ows-vista/ ) and Vista will look and feel like winxp ....eeee kinda Winxp takes like 289mb total from my 2 gig with all programs , but Vista oh boy... takes like 680mb ONLY TO RUN :? add drivers and it takes 890mb of total 2gig just to run the system :shock: WTF??!!! and thats with aero and other shitty things turned off

when i tell about this on Vista forums they flame me for being a noob not knowing about Superfetch a memory management program that makes this system the best ever .... my answer to they arogant comments its allways like "IF vista is so super duper then Why Win7 , then why dx9c games run 20 fps slower then on winxp , then why each game has "you need 1gig more ram on Vista to run games then on winxp" in they system requirements" "after this they all just STFu :lol:

Thanks for the tip - yes Vista is more than annoying . It wouldn'y let me install Call Of Juarez. UAC turned off - logged on as Administrator and I took ownership of every C drive folder (hidden and visible). It installed up to the point of creating a shortcut in the start menu - where it then said I didn't have permission and Install aborted rolling back all chnges. :x
A proper fully functioning Diretx 10 for Xp would be great.

Thanks for sharing jjim :)

Looks kinda' cool, but my monitor and TV don't meet the said requirement, and I can't afford to upgrade :(


As for Vista, I use it all the time and have had no issues. I have a dual-boot with Win XP Pro 64 and Vista Ultimate 32-bit (no service packs) and I am incredibly happy with this setup, and have had no problems playing any games. I have a fairly low-end system - AMD x2 3800 2.01 Ghz, 4 GB RAM and a Geforce 9600 GT, but I can play Stalker SHoC under Vista in 1280*1024 with full dynamic lighting and max. details, all cool weather effects etc., and it never drops a frame.
:D

Yeah Vista is so bad that my buddy couldnt even apply the crack for Riddick Athena files because of locked UAC, so I had to send him the cracked files. Most of the people in my group who have Vista are very unhappy and shocked. Vista is ... :lol:

Well I finally managed to Install COJ . When the prompt saying that I didn't have permission to add a shortcut to the start menu appeared, I browsed to the game start menu directory and took ownership then pressed retry - still same message - 2 more repeats of this process and It finally installed. This is with UAC turned off and logged in and running as administrator. :x
