Min Spec Compatable nVidia Graphics Card Most powerful energy efficient card available?
Hi all,
Great forum! I am a middle aged very light gamer / movie buff wanting to experience 3D Vision on my slimline PC. My question is what is the best card to get that is compatable with 3D Vision, is low on power (am I really going to need an extra power supply lead or what?) and can fit into a Dell Inspiron 530s, ie, low profile. I believe I just need the Kit and the GPU Card to get going but power consumption is important to me. /ermm.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ermm:' />

Current Specs:

Dell Inspiron 530s
LG W2363D-PF 3D Vision Ready Monitor
Asus HD 5570 1GB GDDR3 DVI VGA HDMI Out Low Profile PCI-E Graphics Card
Windows 7 64 Bit / 4 GB Ram

I use gef 210, it's passive and great for movies, and games (not in high quality settings of course)
You can also try gef 220 and 240, if power consumption is an issue.

Thanks for the info. I have looked on the "Requirements Page" and cannot find the 210 nor the 220 anywhere:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-requirements.html

Does this mean that ALL nVidia cards are compatable with 3D Vision? I need to know what limitations I have in hunting for the right card.

Yes, it's not listed by gaming section, but
below you find "All GeForce 200 series" for pictures, etc :)
Maybe because it's not a good choice for modern games, at highest quality,
but anyway i play with Phoenix rc simulator or Flatout without any problem with 210!
Oh, and watch 3d blurays..
