Just got my 3d up! need some exp advice
Hey, so L4D in 3D is the BOMB.

But when I play TF2, I get 20fps most of the time making the game unplayable. Im playing in the 1920 X 1080 rez.

Anybody have suggestions on how to optimize TF2?

Secondly, so lets say I want to play TF2 but the 3D makes it to laggy, is there any way to turn the 3D off and just run the game normally to boost my FPS? I tried to do the ctrl + T to toggle the 3D effect off but my FPS does not see any boost from this...

I am running:
s939 x2 +4800
4gig DDR
Vista 32 bit
gtx 280

I am playing on a Samsung DLP HL61A750.

R there any better rez to play at for performance?

Lastly.. playing in 3D and looking at players names over their heads, or if they pop up in the middle of the screen is terrible... any fix on this? or anybody know how to make the names NOT appear when you look at somebody??

Thanks in advance,

Turning off 3d is as simple as hitting the button on the transmitter. This might be one of the coolest features of 3d. As for the rez, you need to do full screen in order for 3d to work i think. Im pretty sure that when i tried to run a game in window mode at a lower rez than the native i was not able to turn 3d via the transmitter button.

As for tf2 i would turn all your graphics down as much as possible especially your anti aliasing, but keeping your 1920 x 1080 rez and then seeing how many frames you get.

He's likely playing from 10ft away or so. I think CTRL-T is more appropriate advice in this case. Which as far as I know does the same thing.
