    Hey fellow alienmates :D

    I wanna ask would my m15x support the nvidia 3d vision?
    I'm current using :
    A 1080p 60hz display.

    I heard that, I dont need to have the 120hz monitor, the 3d glass will automatically convert images to 3d?

    Need some help guys!

    Thanks :D

    No the minimum you need is I think 96Hz. The 60Hz screen only leaves 30fps for each eye which is too low. But I could be wrong.

    Ohh thats a big problem for me. But I find a way. I buy special adapter: dual DVI to displayport active and ok. But price is 100+$ so you need monitor, kit + this adapter.

    I wouldn't waste the time or money Metalocalypse, you can build a desktop with 3D for about the same price as what you're looking to do and you'll have more power. The 460m isn't powerful enough to effectively run 3D at good settings and the 260m would be a joke. The 460m is a good card especially in non-3D but it chokes at high settings when you add in 3D.
