3D glasses rock !!!

[Maggi]

I did it ...
http://www.eye3d.de/index.htm http://www.iart3d.com/iart/iarte/pro.../eye3dmain.htm


and I see in 3D now ....

All I can say is that it really kicks ass !!!

I admit that there are still titles that do not run with the current drivers (version 3.5 is most recent) and mainly the lack of Q2 & Q3 support on my G400 bugs me
Also I had to switch back to PD5.50 to get the WickedGL wrapper working with my G400.

I'm very very impressed by the three dimensional effect when running UT in D3D.
NFS Porsche is even more addictive and
F1 WGP (that EMBM heatshimmer / dualhead F1 racer) is more than creamy, but unfortunately does the EMBMed effect goof up the Wicked wrapper, so that I had to turn it off.

I'm looking forward for updated drivers so that I could benefit from our latest ICD, and I didn't try the TurboGL yet.

Compared to other shutterglasses, this one is supposed to support D3D and OpenGL, which was the point to make my decision. Also a good high frequncy monitor comes in handy, because I had to set mine back to 60Hz modes to get the minimum recommended stereo refresh rate of 120Hz in 800x600.

Anyway, if you have a few bucks in spare, go out and grab that one (mine is the 4in1 wireless version) ... it really kicks !!!



Cheers,
Maggi

PS: Now back into my monitor ...

Have fun !

Does that thing work with G400? If it does, I'll get one NOW ..

@120Hz (my Sony G200 monitor is limited to 120, too bad) it would be OK. What is that sync doubling? Does it make that 120Hz, which is 60Hz for eyes, be 120Hz for eyes or what?

[Snake-Eyes]

My question is- Does it work in Unreal Tournament? If so, I'm gonna have to check it out!

Didn't you see in 3D already then, Maggi? I mean, you got no depth vision of your own?

I think that means yes on both questions

Thanx for clearing that one up, Jim ...

Add the highly addictive racer Driver to that list !!!

Incredible depth look when chasing along those roads and in 3D it's way easier to determine the distance and drifting into those garages is a real show off ...

Back off the net ... must drive ... LOL

Winamp plugin Dancing Water is awesome ...

Hey, it spamming if I tell you I have a Hercules Thriller 3D Video card AGP listed for sale in the Matrox Happy Shopper Forum? Acutally it is the link I have it listed on Ebay. it has the connector for the glasses. I only used it for a few months at most a couple years ago and it has been boxed in the closet ever since I put Matrox Video Cards in my computers. The Hercules card is a great gaming card with the rendition chip set.
If you consider my post spam, sorry - please don't take my mini-murcer status away - ...speaking of which, I was a higher grade before that change in status a couple years back, I should have graduated up in rank by now - )

[Maggi]

no prob, stevenscott ... you have enough Matrox cards in use, so that you'll remain a MURCer ...

Anyway, I just wanted to thorw a little update in:

The last week released 4.01 beta driver for my glasses now work with PD 6.x !!!



Still no Q3 though ...

Nobody else out there with those glasses ?

I'm tempted :-)

Here's a link with a good (and long) review, but unfortunately in german language:

[Rakido]

Maggi,

it would be easier to decide, if you could post a screenshot, how it looks like.

Bye
Rakido

ps: okok, just kidding i just ordered one at www.i-art3d.de

[Rakido]

Hmmm,

i got a confirmation mail from their order support team. They wrote in their mail, that i need a monitor with a vertical frequency of 100-120khz ???????

Huh? I thought the vertical frequency is measured in Hz and the horizontal frequency in kHz?


confused,
Rakido

[Maggi]

There are even more frequencies ...

What they are refering to is the horinzontal maximum capability and modern standard monitors (like mine) are capable of 95kHz.

They warn you because, their driver can double your actual refesh rates and hence might damage your monitor, but I found a way to use it without probs on my 95kHz monitor ...

Simply set your monitor via Powerdesk to "VESA 1024 @ 60Hz" for gaming and all is in spec, because their driver now get up to 120Hz from 640x480 up to 1024x768 (no higher resolutions available) and to avoid stressing my monitor too much, I manually tweaked the 1024 setting to run @ 50Hz instead of default 60Hz.

If you have a high class monitor for really high resolutions, you don't need additional tweaking.

Examples:

1024x768x32bpp @ 120Hz = 96kHz horizontal and 133MHz RAMDAC
1024x768x32bpp @ 60Hz = 48kHz horizontal and 65MHz RAMDAC

1024x768x32bpp @ 85Hz = 69kHz horizontal and 94MHz RAMDAC

1280x1024x32bpp @ 100Hz = 107kHz horizontal and 185MHz RAMDAC
1280x1024x32bpp @ 85Hz = 91kHz horizontal and 157MHz RAMDAC

...

As you can see above, using the glasses at 1024x768x32bpp @ 120Hz (60Hz per eye) scratches the border of what my monitor can handle and thus I usually play at 800x600x32bpp @ 150Hz (75Hz each eye) resulting in 95kHz horizontal rate and 99MHz RAMDAC.

Hope that clears it up a little ...

Cheers,
Maggi

me bad ... your right, they mixed it up ...
