Digital Storm's Black|OPS & NVIDIA's 3D Vision™ Surround Technology Deliver the World's Most Immersive Gaming Experience
3D HD multi-display gaming powered by NVIDIA's GTX 400 Series GPUs gives players an unparalleled gaming advantage
Fremont, Calif. - (August 2, 2010) – Digital Storm, the predominant name in computer system integration and engineering, proudly ushers in the future of total immersion gaming with 3D Vision™ Surround Technology and the ultimate gaming PC - Black|OPS.
For the first time ever, NVIDIA's 3D Vision™ Surround Technology expands gaming real estate across three monitors in full HD 3D for the most immersive gaming experience ever. With this breakthrough, gamers can expand their view of in-game action, allowing them to see enemies sooner, get a complete survey of strategy games, and race their cars even faster than before.
Those who have never played on a 3D gaming system across three 1080p displays should be prepared to have their breath taken away. NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 400 GPUs generate the graphics horsepower to drive 750M pixels/second for 3 screens in full HD 1080p 3D Vision gaming for an incredible 5760x1080 experience. In terms of compatibility, NVIDIA's intelligent software automatically converts over 425 games to stereoscopic 3D without the need for special patches.
Setting up a Black|OPS machine with 3D Vision™ Surround Technology is simplified thanks to NVIDIA's multi-display software. No adaptors are required as 3D Vision works with standard monitor cables and a setup wizard guides gamers through setup and allows bezel correction to enable a seamless display experience. Further, advanced GPU synchronization ensures seamless support and maximum frame rate.
"The total immersion one experiences when gaming on a multi-screen 3D system is the most remarkable gaming experience, words do it no justice," commented Rajeev Kuruppu, Digital Storm's Director of Product Development. "For first-person shooters and strategy games, multi-screen 3D gives gamers a Pentagon-grade gaming experience that is vastly superior to anything else on the market. 3D technology represents the future of gaming and Black|OPS systems are the perfect platform to experience it on."
Digital Storm's Black|OPS gaming PCs with 3D Vision™ Surround Technology are available for purchase at www.DigitalStormOnline.com/3dpc.asp with a base price of $2,833.

This is why I love PC gaming!
@TheCake
I'm eating coco pops.
@TheCake PC gaming is amazing in 3D nothing like picking up a chain saw in L4D2 and cutting up some zombies, in 3D blood splatters at you...epic nerdgasm
@TheCake
They had Medal of Honor in a 3-monitor setup at Comic-Con two weekends ago. It wasn't 3D Vision Surround enabled, but it looked insane.
@TheCake This is why I hate it!! :)
Why I am growing to hate PC gaming is that they keep focusing on technology like this instead of bringing good games to the platform. So many good games get cancelled on the PC now and go console-exclusive.
Half-Life shook the gaming world up over a decade ago with something new and compelling and now even Valve just rehash the same old stuff with years between releases.
I'm sure Half Life 3 will amazing but I find it insane that I have to wait 4-5 years for a game I will complete in under 10 hours.
Instead of making tech demos like Crysis, how about make some enjoyable games using the engine.
I wouldn't put anything lower than something int he 4xx series. We need dx11 for future proofing, right?
Just bought Acer 245,, the quality is awesome...no ghost image when playing 3d games..... but i really wished if the frame of display can be smaller for SLI...
Pair that with a Radius 320 display and I'm drooling

3D Drool
Lol, how about instead of making a bunch of 3D junk, the actually try to update the games themselves. Make them compatible with dual-core/quad core systems, such as the i3-i7 series. Half the games released only use the one core, the rest of the processing power is used to tab out.
Just waiting a little longer before I go for a new monitor. I want displayport 1.2 and/or hdmi1.4a at 120hz for some future proofing.
those three LCDs are Acer, not Asus. right?
still don't like the 3D-thing.
Edit: the configurator says Asus. booya.
@Fu They are Acer, not Asus.

@Fu yes it's acer, i'm using it right now
Uh, not to poop on anyone's parade, but how are they doing three monitors with only two cards in SLI? I was under the impression that if you used SLI, you only have one display port to play with. And I don't think you could push the framerates needed for 3D with something like a Matrox TripleHead, could you?
@ConcreteSchlyrd
Sorry, I meant to say that I thought you could only use TWO displays with SLI, meaning that the third would have to be done with a distinct third graphics card. I still don't understand how they're doing three monitors with only two cards, which are apparently in SLI.
@ConcreteSchlyrd Each Card has two DVI ports on the back.
@RandomSpoon
Right, but actually using SLI essentially disables the outputs on one of the cards. I mean, you can definitely have two cards and use all four ports (two on each card), but once you start using SLI, one of the cards is esentially disabled.
@ConcreteSchlyrd
GTS 250s have two dual link DVI ports. If you get two of these
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812339004&cm_re=dvi_splitter-_-12-339-004-_-Product
you'd get four single link DVI ports, allowing you to have four monitors at 1080p. Don't know if a single link DVI port has the bandwidth to push 1080p @ 120hz though.
Pairing 3 monitors like in the picture.....and play warcraft !!!! are u kiddin!!
@sakz
Looks like part of the Heaven benchmark test to me.
@OpenLaszlo
Scratch that...I didn't see the tiny little dude in the left monitor.
I like ASUS montiors but for a multiple monitor set up, I want something that has a smaller bezel.
that looks like the alliance base in howling fjord
@Shif thats because it is :D
All I will say is that I bought a PC from these guys and they are the best company I have dealt with. Their customer service is one of the best that I have seen in any industry.
The other company I used to love was VooDooPC, but they are not there anymore, I loved that community but it feel apart when HP bought them.
Other than that, I don't know about 3D gaming. maybe if I could get my hands on a good cheap 3D monitor 24", I might try it out.
Digital Storm builds a hell of PC. I was happy to support a local company last year.
Awesome piece for 3D gamers like me!
dual GeForce GTS 250???
that's ridiculous!
you are aware that this is a rebadged 9800GTX
which is actually just a smaller died 8800GT
right?
it's about as powerful as a single ATI radeon 5830
or a single Nvidia Geforce 460GTX
both can be had around 200$
and don't have NEARLY the performance to power 3 1080p displays.
LET ALONE 3D.
as HardOCP tested, even the 480GTX SLI have issues in some games with 3D on. the 250 is probably less than 30% of the power...
I know exactly where in WoW that screenshot was taken. Is that normal?
