It's not the same for everyone, not to the same degree, and people seem to be able to develop something akin to 'VR legs' (though there is the question whether they'll want to stick with it until they do). I've completed both classic Max Payne games in stereo, and it was amazing!

Oh, for ones who has some experiene playing games in stereo-3d, there is a way to run older games which work on direct3d 1-8 (which is not supported by 3dvision) or even glide: use the dgVoodoo2 wrapper. I've been playing SS2 in stereo for quite a lot, and some places looked so beautiful and so realistic! Too bad nVidia ended the support of this technology, so I will have to build a separate PC setup for older games, some Core2Quad with GF465, older driver from 2018 or even earlier, and a 3d-monitor which now has no use. Other games might have some artifacts due to various tricks being used to render the picture: you might get the stero image, but the sky would be on the wrong depth, or the lighs will be only in one eye, or the shadow would be somewhere else, or the hud will go off screen.īut SS2 and Thief worked almost perfectly with 3dvision. All the games designed with stereo-3d in mind work flawlessly. I don't know about the most recent 3d-ready monitors, but what came in early 2010's required either displayport connection (because hdmi couldn't handle the data bandwidth) or dual-link dvi (with aaaall the connectors present in the cable).Ībout the compatibility. Nowadays almost every monitor can handle that, but back in the days that was something unbelievable. The framerate of the monitor should be doubled, so the 3d-ready monitor is capable of refreshing at 120 Hz. And you get a stereoscopic picture right from your flat screen.

The next step is to make each of your eye getting its own image, and nVidia uses the shutter glass technology: your monitor shows picture for each of your eyes one after another, and the glasses block the light coming to each of the eyes in opposite order, perfectly in sync with the monitor. The video driver creates a second camera in the 3D world with a little horizontal offset, so you have a steropair. The technology is old as mammoth but this had been stardartized so anyone willing to make a stereo-3d stuff would follow the rules and not take something unique out of the air. I do really recommend using the genuine nVidia stuff, it's not that expensive, but made with a good overall quality.

Some have built-in emmitter and ir-driven glasses, some don't, and you have to use wireless radio-emmitter and compatible glasses. You have to use an active 3dvision-ready monitor.
