3d Monitor & Nvidia 3d Kit

[mwvirk]

Dear friends,

I’m planning to buy Samsung 2233RZ with Nvidia 3D kit but since I never got any chance to watch any 3D movie or game – I would like all of you to help me to understand about this technology.

Is it a right choice to go for 3D monitor or shall I buy a normal LCD 22” monitor.

Mostly I’m playing games and watching movies.

Sys Spec are CPU is Q6600 mobo Asus P5Q with Nvidia 8800GT 4GB RAM

Thanks.

ok
then i'm going to upgrade my RAM from 4GB DDR2 to 8GB DDR3
regarding GPU - i was checking few graph here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/2977/n...th-the-wait-/9
and little bit confused where to go now.

rest of my PSU is already 750WATT and i think i don't have to upgrade it for 3D
coming to the 3D monitors - again i'm not sure about samsung vs acer - what i can understand, samsung is good in lcd screens but still i'll listen to u guys before taking any final decision.

so far its confirm that:
- i need to upgrade RAM
- GPU to be upgraded but what should i buy? GTX 470 or 480 or 270 or 275 or 280 etc
- 3D monitor is big question, then

thanks for your help and i'm sure i'll get my reply shortly.
(since crysis 2 might be using 3D tech, i'd like to upgrade my spec for it before it hit the shelfs)

thanx

I cant really comment on 3D. It's up to you if you're interested in that. I can't even see 3D myself. You might consider getting 2 GTX470s or GTX460s so you can do 3D Vision (3 monitors 3D). It's really up to what your budget is here.

Your cpu and RAM are fine, you need a new graphics card and the 3d monitor/glasses to do that.

I like the 3d a LOT, and think it is the biggest upgrade to graphics that you can accomplish in many ways. I have a 30" 25X16 monitor, but I used the Samsung 2233RZ almost exclusively last year.

If your motherboard does SLi, a GTX260 SLi rig would be my choice for a bargain champion at 3d Vision. The GTX470 would be my next "value" choice.

With 3D Vision you're looking for high framerates because the image has to be rendered twice, which cuts framerates in half, but also adds a sort of pseudo AA effect.

EDIT
I see you have a non SLi motherboard- so I'd get a GTX 470. (or a SLi motherboard!)

ohhh BTW 1 more help -can i use 470 on Asus P5Q mobo

I'm not regular gamer - but interested in very few of old/lastest games, like:
MOH COD GTA & Crysis
I think i really need a advance GPU and for that I'm planning to go for nVidia 470 bcoz 480 is little bit out of range.
i'll be getting it (470) soon and will buy 3D kit & LCD 3D monitor when Crysis 2 is about to release.

thanks for ur help.

thnx for ur support.
now finally its clear that Q6600 will not be suitable for 3D
so can i replace my Q6600 CPU with:
INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9400 2.66GHZ (6MB CACHE - 1333MHZ FSB)
and is it working on Asus P5Q mobo
and same time can i change my RAM DDR2 to DDR3 with new CPU but on same mobo (Asus P5Q)
and can I replace my 8800GT to:
GTX470 GeForce PCX 1280MB (320-BITS) DDR5 EVGA

so final configuration will be:
Mobo: Asus P5Q
PSU: Thermaltake 750Watt
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9400 2.66GHZ (6MB CACHE - 1333MHZ FSB)
GPU: GTX470 GeForce PCX 1280MB (320-BITS) DDR5 EVGA
RAM: DDR3 (4GB) (((help me what brand and bus speed is auitable for this config now - if not P5Q then what mobo to replace)))

and after that, is it ready for 3D ???

thanks again.

I can't tell you about specs for a 3D PC because I am not confident on my knowledge of the technology. However, seeing that you're interested in Crysis 2, I'd warn that your system will most likely be pushed to the max. Using its predecessor as a judge, I'd be hesitant to run a 3D setup on that game with just a single card.

As stated though, I don't know a whole lot about 3D. I think it's just a fad and wi;ll be irrelevant in two years.

I wish you luck with your endeavor though.
