Just want to say Skyrim looks amazing in NVIDIA 3D Vision.

I work for IBM and I love 3D and yes, this game looks amazing in 3D. Haven't tried it with the new 3D driver though. I'll have to do that this weekend.

Well I have the Nvidia 3D glasses and a 120Hz monitor and it's great with Skyrim for me But I had a friend visiting so I showed him skyrim in 3D and every thing that seemed great to me was all blurred to him..

So not all people can see perfact in 3D it seems.


You can't expect him to all of a sudden adjust to the same depth & convergence you're used to. You should start him out super low then slowly build him up to where it's comfortable for him. Teach him how to look in the distance and how to look up close.

I hate 3D IMO its just a Fad created to ripoff people that will quickly die again.

Time to school and educate the ignorant!

There are three forms of 3D.

1. Movie Theatre 2D to 3D conversions (these svck)
2. 3DTV's, these svck too.
3. PC - DirectX stereoscopic 3D (what I use). <-- This makes games like Witcher 2 & Skyrim look amazing.

So I agree with you on points 1 & 2, but for the third option you might want to re-educate yourself.

Forget what you see in the movie theaters.
Forget what you see on 3D TV's.

I'm talking about stereoscopic 3D for directX based games. Skyrim looks absolutely amazing in 3D. Guys please be open minded and try it out. If you're eyes are sensitive it takes about three weeks for you to adjust so please take it slow. Start the 3D settings very low when you start and only for an hour at a time. Then slowly build up. I have 20/20 vision and I'm over 30.

* You look down from a cliff and actually sense the distance from where you are to the ground. Scary!
* You look up from under a waterfall and see the water coming down! Sweet! It's almost as if you can feel it.
* Incoming projectiles are truly terrifying in a great way! Easier to dodge.
* You can really feel the dragon flying over your head.
* First person interactions with NPC's are far more engaging.

Thanks for letting me share this epic experience.

DirectX Stereoscopic 3D is not a gimmick.....


Wish I could see it, but I have Amblyopia (IE; Lazy eye.) so I'm not really enthusiastic about this amazing piece of tech. However, I don't discount other folk's enjoyment of it! :wink:

The card has to render two frames, one for each eye, so there will be a performance hit.

This is so insanely obviously advertising it's not even funny, pathetic attempt man.


LOL i have 2 systems running Nvidia 3D Dude it works

If you have an Nvidia GF8800 or newer & an old school pair of 3D glasses ya kna the red / blue things you can experiance whot NVIDIA Calls 3D Discovery it should work never tryed it myself

give it a go

My only complaint with 3D vision is that no matter how much you increase the game brightness it still looks dark but now Nvidia seem to have addressed this with the 3D vision 2

Yeah 3D vision is amazing and is at its best in games like Skyrim, it was playing Oblivion in 3d that convinced me to get my own kit and I love it.

That said I don't understand why Beth failed to make the game properly 3d vision ready! Like most directx games it mostly works but there are a few very noticeable and annoying things that beth just failed to fix up. Quest pointers appearing at screen depth instead of at actor depth, the map is just unusable, water around the coast line is messed up, something to do with the refraction they employ and most unforgivable is the skybox is not at the correct depth making it appear WAY too close. Non of these issues stop me from playing and enjoying the game in 3D as even with this annoyance its still miles better than plain old 2D. But I was really surprised that such simple issues to fix where ignored by Beth when they where making this "brand new" engine.

So come on Beth, get your act together and patch these issues. I'm sure NVIDIA would be happy to send over a couple of complimentary glasses and monitors if Beth where to ask them and I am utterly convinced that anyone who gives the kit a good trial will be a convert. I just don't understand how you could fail to be blown away by a properly setup kit.

The new x-box and playstation will be 3D by default. That will help push 3D onto us.

The problem with 3D now, is they keep re-birthing old technology, because that is all they have, and everything is invested in that. However, some of the new "soft 3D" is winning the market. (No more shutter glasses and flickering, yet not quite as sharp and deep. This helps people get use to the fixed-plane problem, which is purely psychological and easy to overcome, which is what the first post was trying to say.)

The new game monitor for PS3 uses the soft-3D. That gives you 3D or you can use a special set of glasses (Which is just two left-eyes and two right-eyes) to give both players a full screen, on the same screen. Each player has a full-view, which the other player can not see, but those are not in 3D.

Until they fix the depth-blur, 3D will always seem artificial. (That is because they keep making digital camera's and recordings have wide-focus, where everything is in focus more than it would be in reality, at the same depths.)

But if you got the money to burn... it IS a fun toy.

Note, if you have an astigmatism, 3D-perception is altered, and you will NEVER enjoy 3D without correction glasses and 3D glasses. (Astigmatism reduce 3D depth in the world, but brains adapt and guess better, though incorrectly. That can't be undone by just throwing on 3D glasses, without first getting use to the world in true 3D with corrective glasses. Even if you don't "need" glasses to focus, as some astigmatisms don't, because glasses are for unfocuesd eyes, not un3D eyes.)

The main stumbling block is the cost

For a system and 3d setup to run skyrim at it's best your looking at 5k+
If you're playing on less you are going to hit 3d problems such as brightness, ghosting, lag etc
And a lot of people are looking at it on these kind of systems and yes it looks poor

On a true cutting edge system it is the biz

I've seen it running on a sim2 projector costing £ 30,000 and words can't describe it
Hopefully they'll keep improving the tech until it's affordable and then well see a much bigger uptake and acceptance

If you still think 3d is a gimmick you should talk to James Cameron about the most successful movie of all time made in 3d

Most people are just jealous because they don't have the option to run the game in 3D.

This I agree with, I purchased them because I was fortunate to have the cash spare at the time, but I'd probably not have purchased them if I'd been able to try them first, I'm not saying they are bad, I use them, just not worth the current cost.

Different thing entirely, by their very nature movies are going to give you a much smoother viewing experience.

Really now? Take your idiotic advertising and walk far away from this place. 3D will never be immersive or natural to our brains. I am waiting a Matrix-like device.


Yes BURN HIM!!! He's a witch!!!!

All I have to say about 3D is they had better test it RIGOROUSLY. The 3DS gave me a thumping headache. :pinch:
