I noticed I'm not the only sim-racer having problems getting the most
out of my GFII card.
Well, here's an excellent setup and tweaking guide, which even I can
understand: http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Good luck,
Andre

>Great link !!!

Yep, the guide helped me a lot. I finally got NFS: Porsche U. working

and select 640x480 in the game, otherwise the 3d effect won't be as
good as it should be) and the effect is simply breathtaking!!

Oh, also don't forget to select the Porsche preset from the 3d
properties menu and also select 120Hz there.

Do you have any idea wether the 3d glasses will combine with normal glasses?

Technically I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work (each glass
simply opens and closes very rapidly for the 3d effect) but you can't
wear normal glasses and wear the Asus 3d glasses over them.
That's the biggest disadvantage of the Asus 3d glasses: They're big
and heavy and not really comfortable to wear.
Still thinking about a way to make them more comfortable.
I tried to attach them to a baseball cap so all the weight wouldn't be
on my nose, but that didn't really work. And my girlfriend thought I
looked stupid when I showed her my construction, wearing my 3D
glasses, a baseball cap and headphones.. :)

Time for contact lenses Bart :)

At the Dutch GPL Lan event, Chris West mentioned a new 3D monitor he had
seen at a show somewhere. It shows real 3D images by means of  very thin
verical lenses on the screen, spreading two images in different directions.
Guess I'll wait until that technology becomes affordable then. Contact
lenses have a bad record in my family, two of my brothers have returned to
glasses after trying lenses..... And I am very sensitive to anything getting
close to my eyes.

If that monitor would actually work I'd buy it immediately. I didn't
expect that the 3D in computer games would work that good.
Especially for racing games and 3D shooters it's a blast.
By the way, the Asus site mentions somewhere that any type of glasses
can be worn underneath the 3D glasses.
Well, I gave it a try with my shades, but no way that would work.

(PS My girlfriend thought I looked even more stupid while wearing my
baseball cap, 3d glasses, headphones AND shades..)

Show us some pictures then. Specially with the face expression you
probably had at Bergwerk :D (sorry, couldn't resist)
