CoD:BO 3D, will you play it that way?

Re: CoD:BO 3D, will you play it that way?

I have a friend who bought the 3D Vision kit, but it didnt work when I was going to try it. I think he had messed up the drivers and havent really bother to fix it since. I guess that says something about it having a great wow-factor but not so much staying power.

The glasses themselves are not that heavy, but I dont really enjoy the idea of having them on each time I game.

I did some math, and reached the conclusion that for the price of an upgrade to 3DVision plus a 120 Hz monitor, I could get a 3x1 Eyefinity setup with standard 60Hz monitors. And I think that will be more usefull and get used more than a 3D setup.

So if I upgrade I will be more likely to go for triple monitors instead of 3D.

By "feels smoother and more natural" I mean in none 3D, full 120hz input.

Ok, then there are no advantages at all of 3D.

Basically, what I'm saying is that there really aren't any advantages to using 3D to make me want to spend the money on it. It's the same thing that I find with sound. I don't see the point of buying sound cards and expensive speakers when my onboard sound and two medium-priced desk speakers are more than enough.

There is no advantage, if anything enabling vsync would create a tiny delay in image rendering (hence triple buffer to try and off set it). It is just an incredible feeling. I prefer 3D for single player or MMO (both for immersion), but it is fun to play around with in an FPS. The 120hz monitor itself is were its at, to be able to render more then 60fps is noticeable, makes the game feel smoother and more natural.

I can understand using it in single-player to add to the experience, but I wouldn't use it in MP. I see it as being a disadvantage to everyone else. The only "advantage" that I can see in MP is that the game "feels smoother and more natural". Honestly, playing on my 59hz monitor seems smooth enough for me. Since I don't play MMO's, I would be paying for all the 3D stuff (I do already have the graphics cards with that capability), just for the 6 hours or so I play single-player.

i have to see a list of advantages of playing in 3d first. and win a lottery before i get it

hmm 3D glasses ontop of Glasses.. No thanks.

Yep, Toshiba has announced a flat panel display that offers 3D without needing to wear the special glasses.

No because last time I watched something in 3D it gave me a migraine.

Also an FYI, 11-12% of the population cannot see 3D effects correctly.

I can't do 3D, my left eye drifts to the left corner. If i force my eye to center i get a bad headache.

Re: CoD:BO 3D, will you play it that way?

You need to do your homework, everything except some effects are rendered by your PC in 3D on your graphics card. With 3D Vision from NV it uses that to render 2 3D images from 2 slightly different angles, by its nature 2 3D images to allow you to see 1 3D image, just like things work in real life. That is why 3D works so well for PC games, because every thing is already being rendered in a virtual 3D environment. The only problem is that some developers take short cuts for certain effects to render then as a filter on top of everything, prime example in the COD series is Depth of Field which is a effect on top of the image (you'll notice the effect can sometimes clip over other objects) to mimic human eyes only being able to focus on things near or far which we cannot render in the 3D environment, because by its very nature we are looking at a 2D screen focusing on one distance. Other notorious effects are also "blooms" and old school pre-DX10 "lens flares". Games like WoW, LOTRO, MW2 (except floating text) and BFBC2 look incredible rendered with 3D Vision. Its really impressive to see, recommend anyone to go to a local dealers with a demo (as long as its not the crappy 3DTV 2D to 3D conversion they've been running with Avatar since release).

Haha nope, I am broke... and anything I buy in the near future will probably be guitar related.

Re: CoD:BO 3D, will you play it that way?

Meh, I see 3D for gaming just as I see 3D TV: a gimmick and a fad that will die out eventually. While it may be cooler to play in "3D" (I don't think the 3D in games is real 3D, just 2D rendered as 3D), there is no real advantage that you get, and you probably actually have a disadvantage over everyone else.

No. Not worth it.
