Three displays with GeForce 3D Vision and Dark Void PhysX game - on ONE Fermi card! GeForce 3D Vision and Eyefinity together - interesting!

Waiting for the nVidia apologists to say how awesome nVidia's triple monitor gimmick is the best thing ever, while ATi's is something that no one will want.

Edited for some non troll content, 3 monitors + 3d is going to require some serious power under the hood.

I'm going to CES, so I'll check it out.

@ RickRoller:
I've maintained from the start that only when seamless monitors can be joined together for an almost undetectable border, "whateverfinity" does not interest me. I do like however, that NV would be offering this with 3DVision support. Sort of a "one-up" for ATI's eyefinity. Those who aren't bothered by the black bar monitor bezels have something further to look forward to. Those who are bothered, like me, will have to wait for the seamless monitors solutions.

Anyway, should be an interesting show.

"nFinity" sounds better but it's still a copy cat. Definitely not "VisionFinity", lol, I hope not. I never liked the term "Eyefinity", either. NV has had this Eyefinity-like functionality in Quadro line for a long time. I believe it's called "G-Sync". G-Sync sounds OK to me but that's probably not a likely candidate since it may sound like an old/exisiting tech. Maybe "N-Sync"? :biggrin:

I had thought of a few other names. But no boy bands, sorry :)

StereoFinity
3DFinity
3Dplicity
3DVision^3
3DMultiVision

FermiVision?

LOL

VisionFinity :D

Seriously? I mean it, seriously?

However, the prospect of such a spanned view with 3D does seem very interesting! Especially after watching Avatar I am very interested in how it will work (and how well :)).

But VisionFinity? Seriously? :p

EDIT: However, there are at least two problems I can forsee with combining both technologies:
1. Your peripheral vision doesn't "see in 3D"
2. The 3D Vision glasses have lenses limiting your view to only forward, from what I can see - so special glasses would be required, that can span your whole view and not only show forward

I don't really see any solutions to that. Even if you could make 3D glasses that span your whole view (which in itself will be very tricky and expensive, I'm sure)

Horrible name indeed, anyone would come up with better so its obviously fake...

Personally, seeing as its nvidia, I would go for nVision... Simple and effective, covers both 3d and eyefinity aspects

Sir, I was not calling you out, I understand your position. I just figured everyone would have a good laugh if someone defends VisionFinity over EyeFinity, I mean, its even the same name.

Even though its a joke, just for fun: wouldn't it indicate that fermi was a MONSTER?

The name or the actual demo?

tbh doesn't seem very surprising - if nvidia make fermi support 3 displays which is likely given the amount of press eyeinfinity and how easy it would be for them to do, then they will obviously attempt a demo in 3d given that 3d is the buzzword this year and they have 3d Vision.

I agree that 3d is more complex - non 3d eye infinity gets away with a number of problems right now - two of which are no bezel gaps, and no compensation for angling the side monitors.

This (to my eyes) looks pretty naff, however it would be amplified by any out of screen 3d effects. To get that sort of stuff to work properly when your vision shifts from one monitor to another I would have thought requires you to nail that sort of stuff down accurately or the out of screen image will move when your eyes shift between monitors.

If Nvidia didn't have their entire marketing division working on rebranding G92, maybe they could've come up with something a bit more original.

Nvidia trying to catch a ride with AMDs Eyefinity? I think so.

It might. It really depends on what the reader wants it to indicate.

FailVision doesn't look too promising.

3 nonexistent bezelless LCDs with 120hz and in a decent size = a lot of money. Add in a hot, expensive, hard to find Fergi (2Q at earliest) and you have an "awesome" setup.
Personally, if I was going to invest in better visual setup than my 25.5" Asus I'd put together a home theater with a 1080P projector in my basement. Just my preference for my money (not that the hardware required for a good FailVision setup is available anyway). Works with all games, all devices and might not be tHrEe DeE.. but you also won't end up a cross-eyed goofball with those goggles on.

Well one question the spectacle wearer in me wants to ask: The 3D Vision stuff works with glasses right?
As my fellow colleagues surely know, glasses usually don't cover the whole peripheral vision, so wouldn't that harm the whole experience? Though I can only speculate from normal glasses, so maybe it would be harmless (at least it's no problem in RL ;) )


Other than that: More reasons for 120hz LCDs with good panels are always good! I'd love a 24+" IPS panel with 120hz without 3d Vision or anything else.


@Obsoleet: Wreckage is that you after a brain wash from the red guys?

Hahaha you could say that, but with a college degree. ;) I'm just not a fan of Eyefinity or this Visionfinity stuff. Glad it exists, but there's other innovations that I'm excited about.

NVIDIA has had multi-monitor support in their Quadro line for a long time now. It's nothing new or exciting. Matrox has been doing it for awhile as well.

If they added this support into Fermi it was probably just a simple cut and paste from that old Quadro line.

It's such a niche market and will pale in comparison to 3D. Everyone is jumping on the 3D bandwagon right now and NVIDIA was smart to be ahead of the game. Same with PhysX.

To be fair friend, bringing it to the consumer class is a bit exciting. I know I wouldn't want to buy a workstation card for multi-mon when all I want is more space for Visual Studio.

Matrox has had an adapter out for a long time that would allow you to do that with any video card.

Which was limited and pricey; you could also just plop in a second card. My point being I would much prefer a simple one piece solution. Now hopefully when I upgrade, I will have two teams with viable support.



I am defending nVidia from Wreckage....:awe:
