3D on 4k TV / monitor
The HDMI 2.0 standard has been completed and 4K TV's /projectors featuring HDMI 2 and 4K monitors featuring displayport are out. Does 3D Vision and 3DTV support these new formats? If so, how well? If not l, are nvidia working on them? Has anyone tried it out? Can't seem to find any info on the internet about it. Any info would be greatly appreciated as I'm really wanting to buy a 4k panel of some sort and don't want to find out I can't game in 3D on it. (Yes I know it takes a lot of Gfx horse power but I'm trying to future proof myself) Thanks .

I have the same question/ concern as I will be receiving my Sony 65x900a Tv 4K on Dec.12. There is no announced plan/schedule for nvidia to provide HDMI2.0 on vid cards. However, displayport outputs are on both AMD and Nvidia high end cards, and panasonics 4K TV ( tx-l65wt600) has DP input. So with Tri Def Ignition 3D software one can theoretically do native resolution 4K 3D gaming by setting Tri Def to top/bottom 3D mode. I say 'theoretically" because I have not personally tried this.

Thanks for starting the thread guys/girls as I am looking to jump on the 4k wagon but I want to continue to utilize the 3d features nvidia has to offer. Still don't see a 4k monitor that supports 3d vision 2 so please let me know if you hear/see anything. Otherwise, please keep us all posted on what you are/aren't able to do once you receive that Sony 65x900a which is actually the TV I am looking to purchase as well.

In theory 3D in 4k means renderering the game at 2x4k (4k rt eye, 4k lf eye). I don't know which configuration in today's world can give us 60 fps at that res with ultra settings. I have 4 gtx 680 classified in sli, with 3 Asus VG278H 27-Inch 3D monitors to play in 3D surround, which means I am short of one monitor to be at a 4k res, this config holds up very well when I play in 2d once I switch to 3D mode I experince a drastic drop in my fps, most of the time I am lucky if I get a constant 30 fps (AA samples are always turned off). Do we know for a fact that HDMI 2.0 will give us 60 fps in 3D at 4k? I think it is too early to invest in a 4K tv and hope you will be able to play your games in 3D at that res with fairly hight settings if you want to enjoy all the visual goodies nvidia has to offer. My preference would be to play in 3D at 2K, rather than 2D at 4K. I think the visaul experience you get with the added dimension is far better, than a sharper more detailed image, but that's just me. Those are my two cents on the subject.
