What do you sacrifice? Details or resolution?

Just tested Battlefield BC 2 with my SLI GTX 480s and had to turn down NOTHING as I played in 3D /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':laugh:' /> .
On a sidenote, even when the GTX 580 is released anyday now, its BOUND to be slower than my SLI GTX 480s /haha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':haha:' />
What price SLI GTX 460s or 470s pennypinchers now, ehh ??

No price, as I can play BC2 everything maxed at 1920x1080 at 60fps in 3D with my dual 460s. How's that extra $500, ehh?? /biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' />

I turn down the details before the resolution because of playing on an LCD and the nature of using non-native resolutions on LCDs.

120 fps and motion resolution is the key for me, I wont settle for anything else. 120 fps, or GTFO . /haha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':haha:' />

you realize that's a lot faster than the human eye can see, right? that's like double the refresh rate of your monitor. so you're basically throwing away half of those frames -- and with it half of your gpu's computational power -- before they're even converted into light.

Just tested Battlefield BC 2 with my GTX 480 and had to turn down graphics details as i played in 3D.
I'm pretty used to play all games in 1920x0180 and max graphics before i got my 3D equipment.
So what do you do? Turn down the details or the resolution? How big difference is there when playing in 3D?
Are there any details that could just be turned off/down as they might have no impact when in 3D?

if you're using the shutter glasses you'll need 120hz refresh rate, and a monitor that's 3d-vision ready. that'll amount to 60hz per eye. (60hz is a practical minimum refresh rate unless you want to get a headache.)

and in any case you'll need twice the frame rate for the same quality of play, cause now you've got to do a frame for each eye.

Strange, I thought you'd be getting better performance then. You can try turning shadows to medium, not much of an impact on image quality and should get you some FPS. Also disable HBAO, that should be worth a lot too.

In Battlefield Bad Company 2, I find that the only setting that changes your framerate is AA. Turn it to 1x and you will be fine, even at 1080p and all other settings maxed.

P.S. Set HBAO off otherwise you will notice a kind of lag when 3D is enabled.
