LG Passive 3D Advice
Hi all, I intend to get an LG 32LA620V or similar. I want to play games (Max Payne 3, Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, Dead Island, etc etc...) using the LG's passive set up & NOT any type of flickery blinkitty active stuff. My rig is (I believe) more than capable (correct me if I'm wrong). Specs are: AM3+ Gigabyte Motherboard, AMD Phenom II x6 Core 1055T 2.80Ghz, OCZ Reaper 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800(4x 2GB), 2x SLi MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti 2GB DDR5 (4GB Total), 9.5TB HDD total storage (a lot, but not the issue here), (Water cooled CPU but nothing OC'd) Windows 7 Ultimate. ALL updates up to date (Software & Drivers). Intended TV: LG 32LA620V (or similar) Is this set up sufficient? What else do I require? All to run PC games using the PASSIVE TV. BTW, can play all above mentioned games and more on Hi settings flawlessly with STD 22inch widescreen Monitor 1680x1050. Any advice welcome & appreciated. 8-)

I got a 3D TV almost like that one, and beleave me i have no ideea how to setup. I cant see in Nvidia control panel the 3D stereoscopic option. I made a new thread maybe somebody would help me.

For stereoscopic gaming on a TV you also need to buy the 3DTV Play software (cos Nvidia are arseholes).

Nvidia 3D Play or TriDef3D ? (Just noticed Nvidia's forum spellchecker does not recognise NVIDIA... LOL. Just thought I'd throw that out there).

3d Play and Tridef give different results for different games. You'll probably get better performance with 3dtv play (tridef doesn't support SLI), but better compatibility with new games with Tridef (for now at least).

I see two places of concern with your setup. First, are you certain you want passive? The 3D Vision glasses are infinitely superior to other active glasses, and I would not throw out the baby because you had a bad experience with other shoddy equipment. People talk about passive setups occasionally here, and the general conclusion is that passive is just not that good. You get a lot of ghosting. In any case, be sure to demo it and look for a high-contrast example game like Mirror's Edge. Second, I'm not sure that you will be happy with your current hardware as specified. Your CPU and GPU even with SLI is on the low-end for 3D gaming. It will work, no question, but you will have to turn down the settings in games to get it playable on 1080p. 3D done the high-quality way with 3D Vision (geometry mode) is a 2x hit on performance. Tridef has an option for depth buffer style, which is less performance hit, but doesn't look all that good. I understand getting top end stuff is expensive, just recommending that you don't buy something that is going to be marginal.
