is it just the glasses you need or do you need the monitor too. It would be great if they could do it on regular 60hz monitors

Ugh it's both. It sucks otherwise I'd totally pick it up.

So I came back from PAX and I got to actually play with Fermi.  I have to say the 3d stuff going on at that place was incredible.  In order to have 3d on multiple monitors, you need a 470/480 as your primary card, and a 285 or better card as your second card.  Kinda sux for people who don't have those cards, but for people that do, they only need a single Fermi card to enjoy absolutely BREATHtaking 3d.  (need those glasses though)  The amount of heat being thrown out of those Fermi's was crazy.  I feel like I could easily burn my hands.  No worries, thats what water cooling is for.  I also did notice that just about every computer there had a Classified mobo.  I looked inside every computer and checked out those 480's.  They are AS LONG as the x58 board.  Still such a sight to see. 

Also I actually got to TOUCH the SR2 (not with my calipers) but i took dozens of high res pics of that board.  I can't tell you how much larger it is in person. Once you see this SLAB of pure bliss, you begin to wonder where the hell your going to get that thing to fit.  Then I said to myself I would probably re-arrange a room for that thing (and donate my left one)

Damn dude, sounds like someone had some fun! Gonna share the pics right?

I don't think the 3d pictures would come out as desired.  You just have to see it.  I was just annoyed I did some silly "scavenger hunt"  and didn't get my T-shirt.  I went to all the booths, got stuff stamped, and they weren't giving out any T-shirts until Saturday.  So if you had a friday pass, they said go screw.  Thanks Nvidia. 

I don't know where I could upload 12 megapixel pictures too.  Lord knows photobucket doesn't keep them at that resolution. 

Imageshack.com keeps my 12MP pictures the same size.

Thanks Nate....So you went to PAX after all.  You must have felt like a kid in a candy store.   John asked a good question about showing benchmarks.  How bout games, could you try them out?  My gut tells me they only showed demos in a very tightly controlled environment.

Just put them on your computer and re-size with picasa or something like that. Using export.
You don't need anywhere near 12 megapixel resolution to display on web site etc.

This is 12 mega pixel pic redone with picasa.
Yes I know rig is messy, always seems to be a work in progress.

Anyone order a 480?  Anyone see any real benches?

Looks like it needs better Memory clocking, after 1100/2200, it is extreme bandwidth limited in Vantage. 

 



That's a good one. Running the GPU @ like 1100Mhz on LN2. Just divide the shader by 2.
