3D glassed - what games look best with them?

Just curious which games seem to show off these 3D glasses efx the best. Suggestions? I've tried Max Payne, which works ok but there are some visual texture problems in certain areas that get annoying. The other I've tried is Comanche4 but that sucks cause I see double of the cockpit view info screens which really messes with my eyes when trying to play the game. Is there any game out there that works great for 3D glasses?

WWII Fighters IL2 Sturmovik (Opengl) Longbow2 Enemy Engaged: Commanche vs. Hokum Gunship! Mig Alley CFS2 All work well with 3d glasses. Some are better than others. I think the best are WWII Fighters, IL2 and LB2 "Destroy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Porsche Unleashed is fantastic (although it is an older game). The rollcage 1/2 games are also amazing with the 3d glasses. "Destroy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Colin mcrae rally 2 is excellent,........ I only wish there were some sheep running across the road....might have to try carmagedon TDR next

try any fps shooter with the glass.. TOMB RAider games are killer on 3d glasses "Bitey" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

One of my favs in 3d is Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, incredible sense of speed with the 3D glasses on. Andre

So these 3d glasses really do work ? I've always wondered how much 3d perspective they would give. How does it compare to the virtual reality feeling ...is it like a feeling its everywhere arround you or does it just give greater depth to a game and you dont feel things are like touchable when you reach out ? I think its the latter right since virtual reality is a much different approach the way i see it. Just curious if those 3d glasses are TRUELYYYYYYY worth the money. Ah well, i suspect that in 5 years we could be enjoying virtual reality for real hihihi, with the new terre processors running at 3000+ gigahetz :). Microsoft better start working on a very heavy OS with loadssssssss of new things coz otherwise the current OS's will be just way to small for such powerful processors, then again maybe they already are working on it for years which would be a wise thing to do (i've seen pictures of very cool 3d desktops they're working on like yer pc is in a virtual reality world).

I think its the latter right since >virtual reality is a much different approach the way i see it. The effect is really great, objects seem to pop-out of the screen and it feels you can look inside the monitor, especially for racing games and fps games it's really cool. But first of all the glasses are a pain to wear (at least the glasses that game with my Asus GF2 card), for a 3d picture your computer has to show 2 pictures at the same time, so you really have to turn down resolution/graphic options to maintain a decent framerate, and after more than half an hour your eyes start to hurt. >Just curious if those 3d glasses are TRUELYYYYYYY worth the money. So.. it's fun for a while, but definately not worth paying much money for. It's a gimmick and the novelty wears off soon.

I've seen these advertised at Mwave, but the always seem to be out of stock, for at least about 4 months now. Questions include: Any other sources, and are any particular glasses better than others? I am sensitive about cost. For the IR style, do the batteries last long enough to make it worth while, or is it a major expense just feeding the things? For the IR style, are a second pair of glasses without the transmitter available at a significant savings (or would I just be better off buying two sets and having a spare IR transmitter)?

My favourites were Nascar Heat and WWII Fighters. You will find lots of annoyances with those glasses and just about any game. The problem is that anything that is 2D on the screen will force you focus on a seperate plane from the 3D. The games need to have everything in 3D graphics to work really well, including text.

i have an eyeforce 3d vr21 wireless glasses for sale. used all of about 15 minutes. my eyes didnt like it . so no good for me . it was approx 250-00 aus dollars complete in original box with instructions cables etc. any offers ? Harry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I never managed to make GPL work. Too much non 3D stuff on the screen. The best racing game I found in 3D was Rally Championship 2000. Narrow rally stages in the woods look very good. There is a corner on one of the stages where spectators take pictures in the evening (blitz) and the result is amazingly "live". Ivar

Pretty much everything there is > in 3D except the radio call captions. But, the text in the avionics isn't. You will find it a pain to try and read with those glasses on. It's best to use them with WWI/II flight sims because you don't need to have your head down in the cockpit so much.

Nah. They may give you a headache and eye strain pretty easily though. Takes a bit getting use to focusing 'into' ones monitor. The glasses only seem to work well in very few games. Most games render the 3D objects fine but the 2D hud info stuff is often seen as double and really messes with they eyes. When the game works great with the glasses its an amazing thing, and when the game sucks with the glasses is like a visual razor blade infested enema.

Depends. If your monitor can support only 100Hz (50Hz per eye) then you'll be hurtin'. My glasses support the following refresh rates: 100, 112, 120, 140, and 150 Hz ... You get half of this per eye. At 100Hz (50 per eye) you wouldn't be able to stand 15 minutes without getting extremely dizzy. But at 150Hz (75 per eye) you could go a good 45 minutes without irritation. I have to turn down the res to 800x600 so my monitor can also display at 150Hz, and it's not too bad. Doesn't seem flickery at all, though it is more irritating than without the glasses.

I'm not very knowledged in the area of 3D glasses. Why is it half the refresh rate per eye? Why are they not both full? -- xM�T W�����M�x -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- np: Atari Teenage Riot - Speed Alternative PDX Music *meep* "I hate when lanes end."

Why are they not both full? The way it works is two pictures are drawn on the screen, with different perspectives. During one refresh of the monitor, the image meant for the left eye is shown, and during the next refresh, the image meant for the right eye is shown. The glasses themselves will flicker in sync with the monitor, so when the image meant for the right eye is being shown, the glass in front of the left eye is polarized (becomes completely black) ... and so on. In essence, each eye is switching on/off at half the rate of the monitor's refresh rate.

How to get the refresh rate up to 150? Do I need a special INF file for that? The max refresh rate is only 100 at 1280x1024 using my GF2 DDR, the monitor spec is higher than 100...

As far as I can tell only the Asus 21.81a drivers allow for refresh rates of higher than 120Hz. The nVidia eStereo drivers only go up to 120Hz, and crash for that matter, so they truly suck. The Asus drivers work great, and go up to 150Hz at 800x600 on my monitor, but at 1024x768 my monitor's max resolution is 100Hz, so I stick to 800x600 and enable fsaa to compensate for the lower res.
