Meant to be Seen

Hi everybody!!! I'm writing from Hungary. Well, i was in an Imax, and i saw an Imax 3D movie ( Space station) last week. Well i pissed in my pants. I was incredibly amazed from it. So i started searching the internet how i can get a little slice of that miracle, and how i can get the "same" feeling at home. I started with anaglyph glasses and it was fantastic too. But in games i didn't get a real depth. On the other hand i was laughing my ass off from the happiness when in COD2 and in SOF2 the weapon came out from my monitor. Well i decided at that point: I need shutter glasses. So on a site "Vatera" ( like eBay in USA) i ordered a pair of x3d glasses.It was cheap, but i read on this forum it doesn't matter and the company is out of business. So maybe the next week i will get my first pair of shutter glasses!!! I know it was a little long but this is my second comment.

hi and welcome to the forums! please note that shutterglasses require CRT monitors (100+hz refresh rate recomended), also game-wise they don't work with nvidia series 8, 9 cards with the nvidia stereo drivers (some people have reported success with nvidia 8800) unless you use the edimensional drivers (very out of date).

Thanks for your instructions! Well in the last few days after Imax i'm on this 3d thing so i know the facts. I have the same forceware as the stereo driver ( i have an old GF 5200fx and a celeron 2.4 GHz ) the 91.31 ones, and i followed the instructions of This site: http://www.3d.wep.dk/driverguide.html. So everythings works with anaglyph, but it can't provide depth, but the weaps are 3d and after some hours my eyes are tired

no prob, enjoy the 3d

..... and yeah i own an EIZO Crt monitor and it can provide up to 150hz. But my video card can't stand it so i use 100Hz. Only the glasses missing.

wooow 150Hz iz a lot!!!!! my samsung 19' syncmaster can do a max of 100hz (but cause of your video card we're basically in the same boat), in any case at 100hz you won't get any flickering so you're all safe! Regarding eyestrain- I actually discovered if the settings are correct for you, and if you practiced a lot and the room is well lit then eye strain is minimal and I was able to play for hours with little side effects.

Cool, congratulations man. I used to have the X3D glasses, they work pretty good on CRTs. You probably won't be playing too many modern games with that video card but it should be enough to start out. You might want to find a cheap 6800 GT or better video card (7950 GTX is the best card you can get for shutterglasses). This is because stereo3d gaming can be more intensive than 2D gaming. Hope you enjoy your purchase.

hi there! welcome to the stereo world..

did you try the iz3d anaglyph drivers? maybe you get more depth..

cu

igor

I realised yesterday that i didn't changed the thing "convergence" with Ctrl + F5 and Ctrl+ F6. Hehe . Now i have depth

Hi and welcome. There is quite a steep learning curve with the current state of S3d technologies being niche and not quite main stream. I also made the leap into S3d shutter glasses and CRT late last year and have never looked back at the 2d world. It really is worth all the hair pulling just to get your favorite games just right in stereo
