Its a blast to play Far Cry 2 and many other games on triplehead using the Nvidia 3D Vision Discover, the weapons and trees seem to be actually "leaving" the screen, the immersion is simply amazing, is anyone else enjoying this "mix" ? 8)

I had the eDimensional shutter glasses a while back. Too bad the drivers suck and you need VGA. it was really cool when it worked.

I have some eDimensional glasses as well. The effect is neat but more often then not lots of graphics just don't work well with it, especially any game that uses 2d elements for huds and etc mixed in with the 3d.

I've read these eDimensional glasses work with some dlp projectors but I'm not trying it with mine till I know for sure I don't risk damaging the projector.

I can't get it working with triple-wide resolutions, the OSD just tells me it doesn't have enough video RAM to apply the effect and switches it off.

you don't NEED it, but it gets better. The framerate is split between the viewpoints, so you effectively have 28,5Hz refresh.

Yes, you can, since you have a nvidia GPU, youll need some glasses like these (blue/red):



Also 186.18 driver or higher (im running 190.56 here).
