Technically you already can play Crysis in S3D. Biggest problem is that you have to tone down some of the effects because they don't work in 3D. I have played it on my 8000GTS w/ nVidia 3D Vision and it's pretty cool. You want awesome 3D in a game though? Try Avatar in S3D. BEAUTIFUL.]]>Dec 9th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/Dec 9th 2009 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/Dec 9th 2009 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/Dec 9th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/

I doubt you'll get true 120Hz out of an IPS panel... the whole point of TN was to speed up the response time (at the expense of viewing angle and color depth).]]>Dec 9th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/Dec 9th 2009 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.pcper.com/comments.php?nid=8101

in an attempt to even out the framerates? And if they do that, would they have to reduce the brightness of the images that are displayed three times to even things out?]]>Dec 9th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/Dec 9th 2009 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/

Of course, the Blu-ray HDCP thing is probably one reason. Hmmm, I wonder if you could use HDFury to get a 3D 120Hz signal to a CRT?]]>Dec 9th 2009 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/Dec 10th 2009 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/
@120 hz you are reducing flicker. In the case of 3D shutter glasses, you need faster refresh rates because it's literally blocking out each eye for a very very minute period of time. The faster it is, the less flicker and the more natural the 3D is.

"120 fps" you are measuring the smoothness/choppiness of a video source. Very common in video games.]]>Dec 11th 2009 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/Feb 1st 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/Feb 1st 2010 2:39PM
