Release date of G73 3D ?

hi ,
i was planning to buy G73JH until i have red in the Asus ROG portal that a 3D version of the G73 will be released ,with same spec's (GTX 460).
now i am confused between waiting to buy the 3D version or ignore it and buy the normal one ?
and does anyone know the release date ? or the designated price ?

If you want 3D I'd go with the G53JW. The G53JW res is 1366*768 I believe, or something like that.

The mobile GTX 460M is way underpowered to game at 1920*1080 for 3D gaming. Only get the G73jw if you just want the 120hz monitor, I wouldn't 3D game at that resolution.

Even the GTX 480 desktop struggles with 3D gaming at those resolutions.

 

thank you .
does the GTX 460m supports 3d gaming ? meaning that if i bought the G73JH and i installed the Nvidia 3D vision ,will it work ?

 

Let me know when someone actually figures out when the G73JW-3DE will be released. It seems noone knows. I posted on the ROG Facebook wall, and they replied and told me to call the US Customer support phone number. They were useless. Another person has also posted on the FB wall with the same question.

Who knows maybe they will put a 470m in the 3D version for the US?

Even with the 460m, and the 120Hz, I think the G73JW-3DE is worth waiting for. Then they throw in the momentus xt hybrid HDD/SSD as the primary drive, which again is awesome.

So, when someone gets wind of a date, please post it here.

Doesn't anyone know somebody who works at Asus? Give them a call...

 

If you want 3D the monitor has to support 120mhz...

So if you bought a 73G and adding in a new Video card that allone will not give you 3D.. DO keep that in Mind...

 

It is my understanding that you can NOT swap out video cards on the G73 laptop.

I was not suggesting swapping out video cards.

The new G73JW-3DE uses the GTX 460m, and has a 120hz monitor.
The current G73JW-A1 uses the GTX 460xm, but does not have a 120hz monitor. The A1 does have the capability to broadcast the 3D content through HDMI, but it is not a capability that is local to the notebook.

The G73JW-3DE changes that so that the 3D content will be available and ready to use with Nvidia's 3D vision and it will be local on the notebook. This is similar to the G51J-3DE. The problem is that the G51J-3DE has an inferior graphics card. I tried to purchase the G51J, but I received two separate laptops that had LCD/GPU issues. Now I'm waiting for the G73JW-3DE because it has a much better GPU and much better cooling then the G51J.

Hopefully, Asus will work out the bugs in the G51J 3D, and incorporate the fixes to the G73 3D.
