    So Ive been seeing a lot of stuff recently with the new surge towards 3D tech and I was wondering what would I need to play, lets say WoW in 3D on my m11x?


    *Edit: BTW; I have a pair of red and blue 3d glasses and would love a solution that goes with that. I know there are also 3d monitors. Again im a complete noob at this so please enlighten me*

    Yeah you need a 3D monitor, 3D video card, 3D glasses. I dont think you can do it on the m11x. Because the graphics card does not support 3D.

    The GPU can technically run 3D (after all it is the same architecture as the GTS360m) but it's the drivers and lack of other hardware causing the problem.

    with iZ3d all I needed was the red/cyan glasses. I guess I kinda answered my own question after an hour of research. I'm playing on the native screen as we speak. Its nicer on my 23'' though.
