I used a GTX 580 until recently, and it handled most games 'ok', some ran a little choppy, single ones were barely playable because of low FPS. So I guess a GTX 560 won't do too well, I'm afraid.
You have to keep in mind that 3D Vision requires the graphics card to render double the number of frames [i]each[/i] eye get's to see. So if in 2D you get 40-60 FPS you will only get 20-30 (visible, per eye) FPS in 3D (with frame-sequential-mode).

understood...well, i still made a good decision to get that monitor did I not? I can still cancel it before monday...
I do have a gts 250 that I can pop into the tower to be a dedicated physx handler...will that help at all?
[/quote]
dedicated physx of course will help in the games that use that technology. not all of them do.
display is good. as you see my specs im running it with 580.
for me personally 580 is 100% enough for 3D gaming. thats because I dont feel that every single graphics setting should be maxed out in 3D and I dont need min fps rate to be at 60fps.
difficult to say how it will work out in your case and if you wont have to sacrifice too much graphics to feel good about it.
I would suggest to put gfx card upgrade to 580 on the top of your wish list.
p.s. just a while ago had overclocked gtx 460 + 22" display and it was ok for me.

I have the HN274h myself, it's quite good in terms of the 3D, but has some "issues" otherwise, like needing veeery loong to wake up from standby.
But at present the only alternative is the Samsung S27A950D, which doesn't cooperate well with Nvidia graphics cards. Out of the box, anyway. /wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
In the next weeks (or next month) a new 27" Asus 3d-Vision-compatible monitor is supposed to become available. That one [i]may be[/i] better than the Acer and it will come with a new generation of Nvidia shutter glasses. But it probably will be significantly more expensive than the Acer (or Samsung) for some time.
Regarding graphics cards: Your single GTX 560 will handle [i]some[/i] games ok or even good in 3D. Of course it all is to some degree dependent of your personal sensitivity to low/dropping framerates. But there are definitely games out there which require as much graphics "power" as possible to run in 3D at >= 40 FPS (per eye, without clearly noticeable FPS-drops).

It seems that cyberpower.com didnt send me a 2way sli bridge with my evga 780i mobo, will this be a problem?
I am looking to get perhaps another gtx 560 ti, not necessarily evga...so does not having a 2 way sli bridge eat up speed?
Intel core2duo e8500 at 4.06ghz
8gig ram 850mhz
evga 780i mobo
sigma shark 650W power supply
evga gtx 560ti SC
So....say i do want to stick another gtx 560ti into my 3rd slot on the mobo...is the upgrade worth it? or am i just going to be disapointed by a CPU bottleneck?
What about the 650W psu, will that be enough for 2 560ti ?

I'm using 2x 480 GTXs and a it runs most games well. Some of the newer games like Crysis 2, Duke Nukem Forever, Assassin's creed 2, BFBC2, slow down when there is a lot in view / or a lot of smoke/explosions going on. So I end up turning off shadows and other small detail things to get good 1920 x 1080 and high setting FPS. Also, take note that even today, each 480 GTX is $300. So if $600 of GPU power has trouble with some games in 3D, you gotta guess that a $200 560ti isn't going to hang very well.
Simply put, the 560ti bearly runs games at 1080p, and 3d is almost like running 2 instances of the same game at the same time on your one computer. 560ti by itself is not going to cut it for many games.
The monitor is great, it's the one i'm using. Best LCD monitor I've ever owned. 120 hrz / 120 FPS with Vsync on is awesome for games that don't do 3D well, and the screen in 3D games is beautiful.
I suggest you bite the bullet, go to the bank and take out a small loan or something and get a 590 GTX and a PSU to support it. It'll do great in Nvidia 3D at max settings, and is much cheaper then 2x 580s.
But ya. You're basically in the same boat as people who always ran 1280 x 800 resolution on a crappy monitor then upgraded to a 2560 x 1600 30" monitor and didn't have the GPU horse power to push all those pixels.
Bottom line, with eye candy comes GPU horse power requirements. 560ti is a great sub 1080p, standard monitor gaming card, but not for the kind of eye candy you're trying to do.

Only got ONE EVGA GTX 560 Ti...is this okay?
I can run almost all the games out right now, even battlefield beta at 40-60 constant FPS at all settings completely maxed.
I have almost all the best most graphics intensive titles over the past few years, and all of them are 60+ fps on my old dell ultrasharp at 1600x1200.
Intel core 2 duo 8500 overclocked at 4.06ghz
win 7 64 ultimate
8 gigs ram
evga 780i mobo
evga gtx 560ti overclocked edition at 900mhz stock
How well will my system run these games when i switch to 3d mode?

3D Vision with Acer H274H
The gtx 560ti SC that i got replaced that geforce gts 250, only this past may 2011...so i dont think ill be upgrading this one again for a while.
Worst case scenario, ill get another gtx 560ti SC, and run the 2 of them in SLI.
My power supply only has 2 pci-e connectors, and i already used both so ill need a new PSU to handle a new gpu.
If i was already getting a new gpu and psu....i might as well upgrade the cpu and mobo as well.
Speaking of which...can anyone here recommend me the best/cheapest place to get ONLY: tower, mobo, cpu, and ram?
