i have alienware 18 with dual GTX 880M , is it possible to have 3d vision , i know the card is ok but i'm not sure about the monitor , i have found the alienware 17 on the list of supported monitors but not the 18 which seems hard to believe.

Sadly, unless you purchased it with a 120Hz 3DVision monitor option (some of the Alienware's used to have 3DVision options, it likely would of came with a built in emitter and a pair of glasses) you'll be stuck with whatever connectivity options (DP or HDMI) to cable out to an external 3D monitor. If stuck with only HDMI you'll have to use "3DPlay". Even more sad many laptops use a Nvidia "Optimus Technology" which can limit the usefulness of any included Displayport connectors.

Follow this guide if you are interested if you can hook an external monitor using DP:

[quote="vulcan78"] youre not going to get a playable frame-rate with 880M SLI.
[/quote]
This of course depends entirely on what (a) you consider playable (b) game settings (c) resolution. Dual 880M is very good for 1080p, but it would struggle with 2560x1440. Since the OP makes no mention of 2560x1440 and only whether his/her laptop is good for 3D, there's no need to jump to such an extreme to make recommendations. My laptop has a single 780M in it, and I was able to fix and play Watch Dogs at 1080p, in 3D of course, running it on High. There were some slowdowns for sure, but nothing made the game unplayable, and Medium was even better. If you always want max settings and 60 FPS in stereo, don't buy a laptop (though I accept that the 980M is now 80% of a 980, which is amazing). But let's not start by suggesting to the OP "you're machine is not powerful enough for 3D" because that's not correct. What he needs is an external monitor or projector, then he is good to go.

@vulcan78.
Now that we all get technical and Offtopic... You know you can OC the 880M to get the GTX780Ti performance right?
As a matter of fact I even OCed my 555m to be able to play on a 3D screen using the laptop and I had no problem running games like Metro LL (Medium/High settings) at 30-40 fps. And that on a 555M card (Oc was around 20%).
Aiming for 60fps constant in all games in 3D is insane tbh... You will never get it unless you run SLI and put everything on low/med/high based on the game. Geforce experience does a good job of optimizing your games for 2D @ 60fps. You also need to take into account that some engines are less optimized than others and thus the hoops.
I can safely say that using a single 880M on my Laptop I easily get 55-60fps (in 3D) in all games on High settings (additional cooling required as GPU is constantly 99% loaded).
If you buy a laptop I wouldn't target 60fps constant in 3D as desktops have problems with that...Then again for me everything above 45fps is fluent.

Im a bit like vulcan, an elitist bastard when it comes to fps and 3D
i leave my desktop for 3D and my lappy for 2D.
my CPU and GPUs are o/ced as they have excellent cooling in the big ass case. no way could i push things in the laptop. and given most 3D games make my PC scream, i would steer clear of the massive heat in laptop. and boy do you notice the difference with CPUs over 4GHz when using SLI and 3D.
I suspect however that any normal person would find the 880m's fine for 3D
personally i'm skipping the SLI 780 Ti's and 980 GTXs
going to need one hell of a system to run 2560x1440p at 90fps (rumored oculus specs)
2015 come on down!

@helifax; you must be lucky, my 880m's are right on the heat line, i wouldn't oc them for quids

Helifax, youre someone of repute around here so I almost didn't want to rebut your statement but facts are facts and 880M is nowhere near on par with 780 Ti.
Here's the current world record 880M SLI Firestrike score, accomplished with the same CPU, a 4930:
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/2766843
Found at the top of this list:
[url]http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=basic&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/gpuname/fs/P/NVIDIA%20GeForce%20GTX%20880M&gpuName=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M[/url]
The 880M's are overclocked to their absolute limit and sitting around 15.5k GPU, which is indeed impressive nonetheless. I'm at 24k GPU right now and I am on the default EVGA SC vbios, with default voltage. Here is an older run of mine with 1.21V on the Skynet vbios, single card, nearly 14k GPU:
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/2277810
Now, if I were to revert to the Skynet vbios and go from +100 core/+200 memory to +125-150 core/+450 memory I would probably see 27k GPU given 2x SLI scaling.
Current performance with the more modest clocks and default vbios is reflected by the run in my signature, this is my everyday OC, not an OC used simply to ascend a benchmark chart.

Big thx for the links;)) I remember seeing an article somewhere where you could get from a 880M the power of a 780Ti. (personally I haven't tried it for obvious heating problems that might occur;)) )
My intention wasn't to bash your comments, just to add a different view to the conversation basically;))
I apologize if it sounded in other way:(
