Need Opinions on New Video Card for 3D
  2 / 2    
Would there be any chance of my tv working without and EDID override? Or will it absolutely not work unless I use the loophole?

The 55" version of my TV, the 55LW5300, is listed as supported. EXACT same thing except 55" not 47". The 47LW5600 is listed as well, and only difference is that it has apps...

If I had to use the modified file/override, are you saying there's a chance it could damage my GPU or TV?

And when do you think Nvidia staff and Andrew will return?

Don't worry about it. Instal the EDID override and enjoy. I have 47LW5500 and 3dtvplay works like a charm with the EDID from the above link

Yeah, after researching some more, it appears as long as they support the series of your TV, the size won't matter. Since they obviously support the 5300 series(55LW5300 listed), my 47LW5300 should work. I found a post on another forums somewhere where a guy had a 47LW5300 and he said it worked great and required no additional tweaking to work properly.

So, what I am most concerned about now is what video card to buy. When gaming in 3D, my resolution will obviously be 1280x720 but require additional power for 3D. The other half of the time, my main LCD monitor is 1680x1050. I will RARELY be gaming on my TV w/o 3D, so 1080p only rarely. I was thinking a GTX 570 would handle all of this pretty good, and be a good upgrade from my 4870. I was specifically looking at the EVGA superclocked ones. However, I have a feq questions.

When is Kepler coming out? This is my biggest concern. I've been waiting since August to purchase a card for the power upgrade and for 3D. I don't want to buy something now if the Kepler equivalent of a 570 comes out in a month or two. From what I've heard, Nvidia will be starting with low end cards, so the high end cards wont arrive till Q4 2012. What do you guys think/know about this?

Do you think a 570 will fit my needs? I wish to play World of Warcraft, Battlefield 3, Starcraft 2, Crysis 2, and some other random games like the stalker series. The ones I will be playing in 3D will mainly be Battlefield 3, World of Warcraft, and occasionally Crysis 2 and and Starcraft 2. How would a 570 handle those games in 3D at 1280x720? I want to come near to maxing games out, except i realize a 570 might not do this for Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2. And how would a 570 handle these games at 1680x1050? And the rare 1080p?

How much VRAM do I need? Is it worth it to spend the extra $70ish for a 2.5GB 570 from EVGA, or will the 1280mb one do? Remember, mainly playing at 1680x1050 and 1280x720(this one in 3D) about equally and most of the time. Rarely 1080p. Does the extra VRAM help in my situation?

How does the EVGA step-up program work? I feel this could help if Kepler release is approaching...

GTX 570 should be great for that resolution in 3D, and 1680x1050 in 2D too. There are some games that push over 1GB VRAM at 1080p pretty easily, both Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 in your list of examples will use 1.5GB, but for 720p you should still be OK with 1280MB VRAM, so I wouldn't bother with the double RAm version for $70 more.

EVGA Step-Up is a decent insurance policy to buy now if you're worried about Kepler, basically you have 90 days from the time you purchase the card to Step-Up if a newer card is released. You get the price you paid (less any rebates) toward the trade-in of the new card and you just pay shipping both ways. Just make sure you register the card within 30 days of purchase to get this option along with whatever extended warranty they offer (usually limited lifetime for high-end cards). A few things to keep in mind, generally Step-Up only allows you to step-up to certain reference models, usually nothing exotic like watercooling or double RAM cards are offered to step-up to. This is also another reason not to buy the 2.5GB version, since you may only have 1GB to 1.5GB options and that may feel like somewhat of a "downgrade". Also, the Step-Up queue will undoubtedly be long for anyone who falls into the Kepler step-up window, so it could take weeks maybe even months before you're eligible for step-up. The nice thing is, as long as you enter the queue within your 90 days, you're eligible, but it is first come first served for the queue itself.

As for when Kepler will arrive, hard to say, there's a lot of rumors from CES saying maybe Mar/Apr timeframe to coincide with Ivy Bridge, what's less clear is if this is the high-end or mainstream performance part and what relative performance is going to be compared to GTX 580 and 7970. Link below is probably a bit on the optimistic side, but Fuad was at CES in-person and is generally friendly with Nvidia people from what we've seen from past articles.

Also, you may consider some of these options for a slightly cheaper card that performs very similarly to the 570 for a good bit less money: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=gtx+560+ti+448&x=0&y=0

Main difference is 32SP fewer, its a GF110 based card, same as the 570 and 580. I believe the EVGA version also comes with a Batman Code. I almost picked up the Asus version for my gf yesterday but I will probably wait for Kepler instead.
