Darc can you elaborate more? Do you still have the IZ3d? They have beta3 drivers that have increased FPS. How much FPS difference did you see? Say you turn off the SLI, how does the ghosting compare on the samsung/nvidia glasses versus the iz3d? I like how light the glasses are for iz3d, but the ghosting is a turnoff. I also had the z800 and it was just not very ergonomic for me for long gaming sessions, got too hot and heavy on my head after a time.

YES, IT IS WORTH THE MONEY! You'll never want to go back to 2D gaming. You feel part of the game instead of just clicking buttons looking at a screen. You are IN the game, the way it's meant to be played. I finally understand the slogan.

I'm still concerned about ghosting of the bundle Samsung 120hz LCD.
I've read some reviews and some of them mention about significant ghosting in some games.

Now, if I would pay 600 dollars, then I'd want a product that works properly..

It's not ghosting as in delayed refresh that is the problem... it's' a problem with there being ghosted images withOUT moving. Just a minor glitch that is fixed with proper 3d calibration of the game.

I have played UT3 many times with 3D Vision, and yes, the Heatray, SandStorm, and Containment levels are excellent in 3d. /thumbup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbup:' />

I've read nothing but good about it. My friend ordered a bundle today (Samsung 22" 120 hz monitor plus glasses kit). When he gets it I'll tell you my experience, I'll probably be mooching off his PC, since it's better than mine anyway :ph34r:

Yes, this solution is great!

Thanks to 3D Vision (no offense, iz3d! I'm still waitin' for your 26" display!), I finally had an excuse to spend a ton of dough on a new gaming computer :D

I haven't played a game in 2D since I got my setup. It's been just under a month :)

It's definitely worth the money. In fact, I'm so spoiled with 3D Vision that I can't play in 2D anymore lol seriously, unless I'm playing an unfortunate game thats not in the supported games list. I know it's not 100% ghosting free, but the 3D effect that you experience is like no other. The ghosting is small, and it's not always there. You won't notice it when you are busy playing your game. I bet once you play a game in 3D you'll never switch back to 2D. Even some games rated just "good" are worth playing in 3D than 2D, such as Bioshock. I wonder why it's rated "good" and not "excellent", I don't see too serious ghosting in it to drop its rating to "good".
