Checkboard/SBS Performance and Benchmarks
Hey, been reading this forum for a while but never posted before. About to make the plunge and buy up a new 3d tv, computer, and get nvidia tv play. I've read the thread on checkerboard and I was just wondering what performance is like?

It's my understanding that if you are using 3D Vision and have full resolution for each eye, you're going to take approximately a 50% hit in framerate since the image has to be rendered twice from 2 slightly shifted perspectives. I assume the same would go for 3D TV Play and frame-packing. But in checkerboard or side-by-side, you are only rendering half the image for each eye in each frame, so is there much of a performance hit versus non-3D?

Thanks.

Oh, and thanks to everyone, especially Roller, for all the information you guys have put in these forums! :)

I's still twice as much geometry.
Probably on high end cards it's still 50%, an lower end cards that were fill bound, possibly less.
