A simple query need a little help starting 3D vision
Hey I'm using a Geforce GT430 and it tells me it is a 3D compatible card. Obviously this is a great thing but I have no idea how to set it up. It came with a 3D installer but when I open it I'm faced by a large list of options and have no idea which to pick. In fact I have no idea how to get it working, the only products I have found relating to 3D vision are 3D kits which show a pair of glasses, a a IR emitter and the packaging. Do I need to buy one of these or just a pair of glasses? When I open the installer it gives me these options: pro hub glasses, wired glasses, discover glasses and the IR emitter and glasses.

Forgive me if I am completely wrong but the discover glasses icon is the traditional red and blue lens glasses of which I have several pairs. The strange thing is however, I don't see how my computer needs any software installed for glasses that use anisotropic filtering; considering the game Minecraft has an option that will simply fill your screen with red and blue when you activate it. Although when I tried my glasses with the option it worked very poorly.

But anyway I'd just appreciate it if somebody could point me in the right direction, so I can get into 3D gaming as soon as possible.

I think the page you are wanting to look at is here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-home-users.html
Or you might check Wikipedia's entry here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_3D_Vision

To get into the full 3D thing you'll have to get some NVIDIA glasses (now just $99 it seems) and you'll need to get something to display the 3D - probably a 3D monitor which will be another $300 or more. It's also possible to use NVIDIA's "3DTV Play" software to get it working on a 3D TV if you've got one of those.

The 430 card probably won't be up to playing many games in full 3D, though I would hope it would work playing back 3D movies.

The red/blue style of 3D has one foot in the grave, I'm afraid. It might still be possible to get it working but I'm not sure how to do it.

All right but thanks for the help anyway, I'll have a look at the links you've posted.
