is it just my Graphics card the improves performance as ive been playing BF4 and Skyrim at nearly maxed out settings without a single bit of slowdown roughly sticking around the 60fps

The thing about 3d is that ideally you want 120fps, because you're rendering 60fps per eye. It doesn't have to be that high, but you don't want to drop below around 80. Two graphics cards are the best way to go, because then each card can handle one eye each. What kind of budget are you looking at?

My specs are in my sig. I spend ages tweaking a game to get the best framerate/visual quality ratio. With 3D on (is there any other way to play a game?) I try to maintain > 40 FPS at all times. No lower. In my heady bachelor days, before I went 3D, as soon as I couldn't game on max settings I would upgrade. In those days, in my eyes, lowering settings seemed to make a big difference. Now I am quite happy to turn down the odd setting because it doesn't seem to make that much difference! I think this is because S3D enhances the visual quality so much, any visual penalty resulting from lowering a setting or two seems far less impacting than it would if playing 2D. Anyone think this, or is it just me?

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

well my main budget was around the 200 mark,but i could save up,just not very good at waiting for somthing i really want,i end up acting like a kid on xmas eve,if i dont get it soon,i`ll start getting moody lol,but in the long run i think i whould rather save up and have a decent all round set up than go for cheap and easy option then have to upgrade later on

with that setup and the budget you mentioned above i would go for an asus 24-inch 3d vision 2 monitor - it's the best 3d experience, and even if you can't play everything on ultra detail right now, at least all you have to do is upgrade your video card in the future and your 3d kit will still be top notch
