NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround Gaming on Fermi GF100

During our meeting with NVIDIA, they were also showing off 3D Vision Surround, which was announced at the start of CES at their press conference. They fired up Need For Speed: Shift and game us a quick demo of their 'Eyefinity' display setup that can run in 3D as well. The kicker to this solution is that you HAVE to have two video cards in order to run 3 panels. ATI's Eyefinity solution lets you do the same with one card, although you can't run games in 3D...

No, it's superior. The fact that it costs more doesn't change the fact that's it's superior. To run three displays in S3D requires SLI or Crossfire. There's no one card powerful enough to do that while maxing out a game at high framerates.

just because the price is more does not mean that it's inferior to Eyefinity, that's not rational, is a Bugatti Veyron inferior to a 1989 Honda Accord?

so it costs more for Nvidia's solution, which is fine, it's ignorant to think a company that offers more should charge the same price of a company that offers less.

Overall I believe EyeFinity is more definative on the picture , will Nvidia Surround allow watching a movie across all 3 screens ?

@Spectralancer YES THERE IS. ANY NVIDIA GF CHIP WHICH HAS A MODEL NUMBER OVER NINETHOUSAND.

@1981z28camaro eyefinity is better, i have yet to see another graphics reg handle 4 graphics cards and 24 monitors on 6 gb of ram and a minimal power supply

@Spectralancer Today they do have a card that supports Nvidia 3d now.

@devrerffs Yeah, but as far as I'm concerned only Zalman is compatable with ATI. (Not Nvidia)

[devrerffs]

Amd/atis card do support 3d..

This is what I want to do long term, but I don't think it's that easy. Current 120hz PJ are like 120hz TV's, they don't support 120hz input you have to interlace. Not to mention a $500 120hz pj is going to have pretty low rez vertically.

now thats nice to have, But in the real world how can it work? I mean the price for each monitor i am sure would be expensive... and some people havent got the room to do so.....

Nice tho if i had the cash

[1981z28camaro]

@LOLitsJono ok then, well in that case I think both companies multi monitor support is probably equal then.

@1981z28camaro

Yes, for ATI it's called Bezel Compensation.
