An Amazing 3D question that will blow out your mind and test your insanity

Hello folks

I currently own an Asus g73sw laptop. It has a 460m video card.

I dont have the 3D screen with it though.

What i do is connect to my 3DTV via HDMI 1.4... and i am not really satisfied with the 3D quality. 1080p 24fps is unplayable and 720p sucks all togehter.

At least thats the quality of 3Dtvplay

If i purchase a 3D monitor, how would i be able to game?

Will i be able to game with the 3D vision via my mobile 460m?

or would i still be stuck in 3Dtvplay kind of quality?

Thank you

 

Remember that the 3D image is all output from the GPU not input, so when you say you connect your 3DTV through your HDMI port it is still the GPU doing all the work not your TV and the same would be if you had a 3D screen in your laptop.

Using a 3D monitor would be no different to using the 3DTV if you are using the same resolution and as the 460GTX mobile has its frames halfed to produce a 3D image its not surprising it struggles.

 

Mobile GPUs aren't capable of gaming 3D at any res above 1376x768. End of.

 

Thank you folks. I got what I needed.

Basically what you are saying is that if i want to game in 3D 1080p @ 60 fps, my graphics card should be a desktop and not a mobile.

One other question. How does desktop GPUs do 1090p 3d @ 60 fps? I mean dont people connect via HDMI 1.4? This limits 1080p @ 24 fps.

 

Not necesarily but you are using one of the early cards to produce 3D imaging and unfortunately that card does not have enough oompf its mid range for normal output let alone halfing it to produce 3D. The 485M could probably give a pretty good 3D output but its still early days for 3D gaming.

Desktop GPU's are different in every way mostly high clocks, more shaders, larger bus, more ROP's etc etc and so you cant normally give a good comparison to most mobile cards to a desktop card but if you had the 460 GTX you shouldn't really have a problem getting playable frames with 3D at 1080p.

 

It depends on the game, and the horsepower of the video card setup. In order to do 60fps in 3D, it needs to actually do 120 fps, which is why 3D screens are 120 Hz capable. It generates 2 screens for every frame to get the 3D effect.

Now, in order to smoothly generate 120 fps in current games is a bit of a task for a mobile GPU. People who 3D game usually use desktop cards in a SLI setup.

 

Well better save money and build a great rig for my home than, and leave asus for work, traveling and stuff.

3D is a gimmick actually and I can see that its still in development stages, but somehow it always drags me itself.

Still mediocre 720p 3d gaming is better than no 3d gaming at all in my case

 

I have never bought into the hype nor will I because I like to enjoy playing a game without having to concentrate on 3D imaging and the fact it just gives me a headache. I will swap 60fps of HD for 30fps of 3D any day of the week.

 

same here. unless they got nice fps and seeing it with naked eye 3d, that would be awesome
