the best GPUs for performance
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2009 8:42 pm
Hello, this question is mainly for BlackQ or any IZ3D member that may be able to help.
I have an eMagin Z800 HMD and I have decided to upgrade soon with the best solution available to me:
IZ3D pageflipped drivers and an extremely or dare I say ridiculously overpowered computer so that I may hope to maintain 60 fps or greater in modern games. (the Z800 runs at 60 HZ so with the IZ3D drivers, if the fps drops below 60, I loose 3D then have to hit a hotkey to fix it when the fps is high again)
So,
Can you please recommend the best GPU (single or SLi/crossfire) specifically for high performance in 3D with the IZ3D driver?
Also, any other components, such as CPU that just work better for your driver than others?
I have a very good understanding and familiarity with PCs and I already know what I would buy if S-3D wasn’t a concern of mine but I would be grateful for tips regarding building a machine around and specifically for the IZ3D driver.
Thank you.
P.S. I would be extremely grateful for greater Z800 specific support in the driver like there is for the VR920. I wish that the TD visor did come out but because it didn’t, there really is no consumer level HMD of higher quality than the Z800 right now.
