Apple Mac Pro+ Bootcamp (Windows 7) + Geforce 3D Vision + Alienware OptX AW2310 23" Getting ste
I'm interested in getting stereoscopic 3d running on my Mac Pro (early 2008 3,1 config) if possible and wondered if anyone has had a go with the following configuration:
1] Under Bootcamp running Windows 7
2] Using a EVGA GeForce GTX 285 card (this is available from the [url="http://store.apple.com/au/product/TW387ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU2MDA#overview"]Apple Store[/url] and also compatible with the [url="http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Requirements.html"]NVIDIA 3D Vision Kit[/url] under Windows)
3] Using the [url="http://www1.ap.dell.com/au/en/home/alienware-accessories/monitor-alienware-aw2310/pd.aspx?refid=monitor-alienware-aw2310&s=dhs&cs=audhs1"]Alienware OptX AW2310 23" monitor[/url].
The links are to the Australia stores as that's where I'm located.
I am optimistic that this config may work on a Mac (albeit running Windows) - and save the cost of purchasing a dedicated Windows machine with a suitable GPU or the horrifically expensive Quadro FX4800 (which will do quad-buffered stereo for specialist applications, but from what I can determine is not compatible with the NVIDIA 3D vision kit.)
Any thoughts on this welcome - I am interested in running the Unity game engine in stereo (realtime graphics) as well as full HD stereoscopic video (1080p) (prerendered material)
