Vuzix Stereoscopy Performance

Post by AngelJ »

Hi all,

In comparing the Vuzix Stereoscopic driver to IZ3D and DDD with the Wrap 920, for several reasons I liked the third party drivers more. I could forget about buying one of them and be happy with the Vuzix software, though, if it wasn't for one thing: the Vuzix driver seems to halve my framerate when the others don't.

I was wondering if others were having this problem, and whether any tweaking can be done to improve the framerate, or even the image quality and 3d effect with the Vuzix driver.

Thanks

The Vuzix driver works alright for certain games (like Crysis) but many games are unsupported. Even some of the supported games have issues. My main problem, though, is that Vuzix does not give you are easy way to adjust the 3D settings while you are playing that game. This alone makes it worth buying another driver.
