3D dilemma
Hello there folks.

I currently have an ASUS g73sw gaming laptop with a 460m graphics card. The card has 3d but i didnt purchase the model with the 3D display.

Hooking it up to my Samsung 8 series 3D tv via HDMI 1.4 cable gives me 1080p at 24hz. and 720p at 60hz.

I hate playing games in 720p and want to play at 1080p.

How can I ever play games in 1080p and 60hz?

Would I have to replace my built in monitor in laptop with a different screen?

or if i buy a 3D monitor (not a TV) than would i be able to game in 1080p @ 60 hz?


I wonder if playing @ 1080p with 60 hz is only limited to laptop computers?

I really appreciate the help.

You can't play at 1080p and 60Hz because the HDMI 1.4a standard can't handle it. As far as the TV industry is concerned, you only want to watch movies and you only want to watch them at 24Hz. Or maybe you have a clunky old PS3 which can only barely do 1080p in 2D, never mind 3D.

If you want real 1080p at 60Hz then you need to use another kind of cable - like the special DVI cables that come with 3D monitors.

THank you for the answer.

Are those DVI cables for 3D monitors compatable with mobile GPUs? or are they only for desktop GPUs?
