Unsure of my options
Posted: Mon May 11, 2009 9:16 am
Hey,
I'm not new to S-3D, but I've been out of the loop for 6 months or so, so I've fallen behind any developments. I'm wondering if I have any options as far S-3D. Basically here's what I have now:
Geforce 8800
Windows XP
CRT monitor and leftover edimensional shutterglasses
I might be looking to get a new monitor soon as my current one is getting kind of blurry sometimes. This will probably mean an LCD monitor as you can't really get new CRT's anymore. I don't know if 3D is even an option for me anymore. Here's the problems I'm seeing with each option (that I'm aware of):
Nvidia drivers:
-I really don't want to switch to Vista, plus I was never fond of the effect from their old XP drivers compared against Elsa's old ones or iz3d's new ones. Is there any substantial difference effect-wise between the XP and the Vista ones? I recall in MANY games having to push the HUD completely off to the side before I could get decent depth out of the screen.
Iz3d:
-I've tried their monitor before and really did not care for it all.
-I have tried the anaglyph mode and thought the effect was excellent (but I don't want to play games in anaglyph)
-I've tried using their stereoscopic drivers with my edimensional glasses, but they didn't work at all for me.
I think my ideal solution would be to have the iz3d drivers on a non-iz3d monitor, but I don't know if this even an option. I'm open to suggestions, thanks in advance.
