So at the end of the day, my O.C. GTS 250 is inadequate for NVidia 3D Vision?....funny I ran an applet from NVidia that checks if your PC is up to scratch for 3D Vision and it said that all I needed was a change of monitor and my computer would be ready.....:(

Well, what about my Blu-Ray player...do I have to change that as well? My main interest is Blu-ray 3D playback (i.e. watching 3D movies)....I can think about 3D games later as I'm very happy with playing 2D games on this card at the moment! I can understand why you'd need a powerful card (or cards) for 3D gaming, but I can't see how GPU is going to affect 3D movies as these are pre-rendered pictures and the video card only has to pass on the 3D images to the monitor really quickly right?

Thanks again.

Just found a website of a retailer (which NVidia says sells 3D PCs). Seems that they are using the same graphics card for one of their 3D PCs as well and that means 250 GTS should be capable of some performance. The link is shown below and the PC is very similar to mine (except for a slower processor and less HDD space):

Yes, I know it can be upgraded to more powerful stuff, but the point is this: SLi is not be a must if you are not intending to do high-end gaming in 3D after all. Thanks for all your help.

Bahahaha. Good thing I went to help the thread hijacker and not you,probably he knows about VSYNC & stuff, that'd be hard to explain. /stud.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':stud:' />,

Dang, I forgot about the fact that the GTS 250 might not offer the ideal triple or quad-buffering needed for smooth VSYNC/Stereoscopic performance. Thanks again for reminding me.

I might look at updating the graphics cards if this becomes an issue. I still think GTS 250 might make it....or might not....can't say until i've tried it. I have yet to come across the screen tearing phenomenon so I haven't used VSYNC yet.

UPDATE: I can enable Triple Buffering on the GTS 250 using the NVidia Control Panel which should help with VSYNC if the need arises.
