So tell me SunnyD, why should anyone give much thought to the opinions of people who have never seen this when all the people who have say it adds a whole new level of immersion and fun to the games it works well on?
Because guys like you "think" it must not be true?
LOL
I never said anything regarding the "quality" of the experience. I simply noted that this thread has gone 100% as expected. You are marketing and defending this product and technology in an evangelical fashion, and are doing your best to misdirect people from "the man behind the curtain" (price, performance). That's all.
By the way, you left off a crucial part of the hothardware quote:
At $199, in addition to the cost of a suitable monitor if necessary, NVIDIA's GeForce 3D Vision glasses are not for everyone. Selective editing, the true mark of a PR op.
Nuts. The jig is up.
SunnyD, no one tells me what to post, and I don't work for NVIDIA. I get excited about what I like, I post about the rest.
Compare what I've posted about PhysX to what I've posted about this.
I like PhysX, and I think it's a direction the industry needs to go in, and I'm glad NVIDIA is bringing it to us. I think PhysX adds to the level of immersion.
I
love this. I think this
really adds to the level of immersion. I'm excited about this, that would be my opinion of it if I worked for ATi.
TBH, I haven't been gaming as much lately, haven't finished a game since Bioshock. This lit a fire under me, and I've been gaming more. When I start playing a game with this to test it, I don't want to turn it off. It's just really cool to look at, and I didn't even try to look for the faults because
I was having so much fun gaming.
That's what this really comes down to for me, it takes the fun to another level.
Yes, my 3007WFPHC is a "better" monitor, and gaming at 25X16 at 100fps with one of my high end video solutions is pretty great.
Things aren't mutually exclusive though- it's also fun to play the PhysX levels of UT3 and see a more interactive environment.
It's a lot of fun to fire up and old game like GTA Vice City in 3d and see the women actually look stacked, and the characters look like battling action figures.
There's no denying that I would have sounded pretty much just like you guys a year ago- higher res, higher AA, bigger screen, faster fps- what else is there?
Now there are other things that add immersion in a different way, and IMO, it's about freaking time.
Is there anyone here who can
really get excited about the "breakthrough" of 8X MSAA being available pretty widely now? Not me- I was doing 16X four or five years ago on my 6800GT SLi.
Or the slightly better AA and lighting of DX10.1, with some more frames?
This is the kind of thing that makes a BIG difference- and I swear on my kid's life that it excited me more than anything I've seen on the screen in years.
