New 3D Vision Champ? Asus PG278Q Announced
  3 / 3    
What? What happened to all that "superior 3D quality with gsync" stuff that nvidia explicitly (albeity vaguely) wrote? gsync still may be one of the best things to happen to 3Dvision though. Gsync monitors will likely become the defacto monitors of choice for high-end PC gamers, which means that the amount of 3Dvision-capable monitors in people's gaming rigs will probably grow exponentially over the next couple of years. Surely at least some of those people will spend the 80 bucks on a pair of 3d glasses. Especially as Rift mania continues to ramp up (yet continues to fail to actually deliver a meaningful number of playable games that actually look good and play well). What a shit that people will have to choose between gsync and 3D though. Up until now, 3D has only had advantages, while the disadvantages have mostly been fictional (headaches, eye strain).

It has been announced as a 120+Hz monitor, Linus Tech did actually check the settings on CES wich were on 144Hz at that moment.

Afro, don't you think that Nvidia needs to update their 3D software/drivers to be able to support higher resolutions? Even if this monitor is said to be 3D compatible, if there is no optimized software, won't that be a problem? I keep hearing stuff about software and fake 3D... And really? Asus Swift monitor is [b]144Hz[/b]? WOW!

[quote="WhiteSkyMage"]Afro, don't you think that Nvidia needs to update their 3D software/drivers to be able to support higher resolutions?[/quote]Of course I would love to see Nvidia making 3D at higher resolutions possible. And on that case, I haven't found any evidence that they aren't working on it, although i also haven't found any that they are either.

It will fully support Nvidia 3d Vision:

Well, if that's the case, only one thing left for me to do: Wait for Maxwell, SLI 2 cards, put some nice LC on them, and go full OC :D And let me guess - another 3 game bundle! Yay! Let's not forget the Nvidia 3D kit ;/ cuz without it, no 3D :O

I'm definitely waiting for Maxwell before I consider 3D at 1440p! Looking forward to trying it one day though.

Can anyone verify this is working at full res in 3D?

Thanks. Is there a big difference in clarity between this and standard full HD? ie is it worth shelling out the extra money?
