    NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

    Nvidia has just released the newest Stereo 3D Driver. v181.20 http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d_stereo.html#drivers Vista 32 or 64 bit only (though it should also work with the Windows 7 beta). k

    Thank you, nRollo. That could make a big difference for me. k

    NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

    If it DOESN'T work in Windows 7 there will be some loud screams I'm sure,coming primarily from the folks at Nvidia! I would think they have literally "bet the house" on the potential outcome of their technology, and if W7 won't support it, Nvidia is toast. The real disappointment for many...

    NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

    Well, I'm not sure about ANY game, but I was pleased to see earlier today that my own favorite simulation "rFactor" (rfactor.net), a racing simulation, managed an "excellent" rating at Nvidias site, as regards its 3D compatibility rating. Shouldn't be a surprise, as " rFactor" is merely a...

    NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

    Unfortunately for me, my Mitsubishi 2060 (20"@ 120Hz) CRT monitor has been DOA since I turned it off the last time I used 3D glasses with it two years ago (hopefully just a blown fuse, but I can't be sure without paying for a diagnosis). Moreover, and as I said a few posts back, 3D viewing...

    NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

    I read something many years ago in a book, a small book about "going racing." What it took, how much it cost, what it was really like, etc.... [Paraphrasing here, from a book I haven't read for years, but I think this is the gist of it:] The author was asked, at some point, how much it...

    NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

    Drawbacks: IMO, stereo 3D has a problem when seen less than lifesize--most likely because our own eyes are typically used to seeing stereo images in LIFESIZE (and nothing else). I can recall the first time I saw stereo driving on my 21" CRT. Underwhelming to say the least. Yes, the...

    NVIDIA Stereovision on morning news(!)

    This is very welcome news for me 'cause stereo is my "thing." I've used shutterglasses with both a 21" CRT (1600x1200 @120Hz) and with LIFESIZE stereo projection, and I can certainly say it "rocks" unlike anything you've ever seen when you get it set up "right." Stereo is just unbelievably...

    Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

    I'm running one of these boards myself (currently sporting 2 IDE HD's; 1 IDE DVD burner, and 1 SATA 2 HD). I faced the same choice myself just a month ago, and I went with an IDE burner. If you'll entertain an alternative recommendation, I'd suggest you also choose an IDE based DVD burner...

    Unaware of a reason it wouldn't. I'm running a E4500 here without problems (haven't tried overclocking it yet though). k

    My own board arrived just a couple of hours ago, so I found a magnifying glass to see what my chip said. The chip reads: L6714D 991MD V1 MYS 99 728 k

    ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA

    Thought I would pass this along, since there are those wondering about using dual-video cards on this board. This is a (partial) quote I've taken from a German fellow who's using this mobo and taking advantage of it's dual-video card output capability in a couple of sim-racing applications...

    ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA

    Good deal, and thanks, Mr. Vain for the reply. I can't be unhappy with a E4400 when I can get both CPU and 2Gig's memory for about the same price as the E6600 alone. Yep...it's time to open the wallet. But thankfully not very wide. :) k

    ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA

    About to pull the trigger on a new build using this motherboard, but I'd like to get some opinions first about CPU choice. I'm aware the board generally has a FSB limit of about 300 (assuming no volt mod), and it seems most peeps can get pretty close to this... ...so if can too, and if the...

    Highest refresh for dual LCD's?

    Points to be aware of, thx, M (and rbV5 too). I've stumbled across a possible alternative solution in another forum which might allow for more conventional connections and refresh rates. It's a "planar type" projection idea, in which both LCD's are instead run side by side in realtime--the...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    Very useful actually, Raikku. Thanks for the reply. I'm still undecided here on my final build (stiill investigating the options), but I'm leaning more and more toward the cheaper E4400. I don't expect this to be anything but an interim solution for me at this point, but it WILL let me...

    Hello Raikku?: Sorry to digress from the thread (but if the peeps will allow me a little leeway)...? ------ I recognized you here a while back as a fellow sim-racer (from your input to the thread "Post your 3DMark05 score" over at the RSC "Off Topic Discussion" forum). Your results...

    Highest refresh for dual LCD's?

    Not immediately useful for my problem, no...but still helpful nonetheless. :) For example, it's clear I was wrong when I surmised the current state of the art where "connectivity" is concerned might be a limiting factor. Sounds like the DVI-connector family in and of itself is up to the...

    Highest refresh for dual LCD's?

    I'm investigating the possibility of building a DIY stereo projector using a pair of strobed LCD's* in concert with shutterglasses (or polarizers). [*Another method is to use shutterglasses with a single DLP projector (which I am currently doing)--it's pretty good for an "off the shelf" setup...

    Core 2 Duo & Win 2000 Pro?

    Ok, sounds like the consensus is this combo should work pretty well, so I'll forge on ahead. Thanks for all the input peeps. k

    What's the most you've ever spent on video card(s)

    By the time I finished up with shipping and upgrade pricing, it was about $400 on a factory direct EVGA 7800 GS AGP (factory overclock), and if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't. Bought it because it was the fastest card I could find which still had a native VGA connector (want to run it...

    Core 2 Duo & Win 2000 Pro?

    Greetings, all. Need some advice: Considering building a new Core 2 Duo Box (w/ E6600), but one which still uses my older (recently purchased) 7800 GS (AGP) card. Want to stick with this older v. card because I think I have a better chance of making it work with shutterglasses--I...
