What do you think? I'm about to click "Check out"...

 

Some one??

 

Well, do you want Optimus or 3D? Thats really what it comes down to...

 

What do you mean? they are the same GPU no? what's the differances between the 3D and Optimus?

 

They are kind of the same in that they are the same GPU, but they way they are configured is different - one with a 120 hz display the other without.

Please read the following links:

Optimus Technology (Power saving features)

NVIDIA 3D Vision (3D games and movies, but will hurt performance in games)

 

So what should I take? I will connect it to the FHD tv (120Hz NO 3D)

 

Just get what you want man ....how should we know what you want? 3d has a better 120 hz screen vs a non 3d 60 hz..but you get optimus...i got the 3d cuz i'm always plugged in so battery performance means nothing to me

 

i voted for non 3d............i mean..3d became all popular like a little over a year ago......its still not perfected yet.......plus its not good for your brain to watch 3d all the time.......so basically i think its a fad LOL..........
