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
 
If you've never used 3d, you don't have to buy the whole 3d kit at first. Just pick up some blue & red 3d glasses for like $3. There is an option to turn on 3d mode--that I'm having a hard time finding any links for at the moment. I literally can turn on a 3d mode in the Nvidia control panel on my 9800GTX + and play games with the blue/red colors on the screen and a pair of $3 glasses. It's probably not as fancy looking as their expensive 3d kit--maybe this is why this mode is kind of buried.

Man I can't find anything on the Internet about this. I'm not at the PC right now. I remember seeing a photo of my video card next to blue and red 3d glasses, not the shaded ones that come with the 3d Vision kit.

Ahh. . . Here we are.


No need for anything but a cheap pair of 3d glasses, any old monitor, and your current video card.
 
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.

id go for it. 3D seems to be getting more popular by the day. Nvidia is a very reliable brand and the monitor looks pretty good. Im a PC gamer, not hardcore but if I had the money id be getting 3D stuff for my gaming experience :P lol. hope that input helped.

Yea I've played it in red/blue before. It's cool but it strains my eyes a lot after time.

Anaglyph mode has been around for quite awhile, it is nowhere near as good as the true shutter glasses though, because you don't get the true colors, you don't get the full resolution, etc of the actual monitor when using anaglyph.
 
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.

Q6600 is still a fine processor, the Q9400 will not give you much of a noticeable boost over your Q6600, especially if you overclock it. I wouldn't spend the money to upgrade to a Q9400 from a Q6600.
