Hey everyone,
I am in preparation for upgrading my PC for 3D (stereoscopic) gaming.
My concern is if my current workstation (used mainly for 3D animation) will be up to scratch for this sort of thing.
As many of you will know, 3D gaming effectively halves your frame rate, especially in modern high end games.
I have found this to be true experimenting with the anaglyph method (using both TriDef and NVidia 3D) playing The Witcher 2 - I reverted back to 2D because the refresh rate was just too laggy.
My attitude is if I can't get a perfectly smooth 3D effect then it's not worth doing it at all.
The display I am planning to get is a 1080p LED 3D TV, probably an LG of around 50" in size (I need a good display anyway for my stereoscopic animation projects)
I was wondering what part of my current setup is holding back the performance of my 3D gaming - I'm assuming it's either the CPU or Graphics card.
Here are my current components which I believe to be most relevant to this issue:
Intel Core i7 860
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 1GB
16 GB Princeton DDR3 RAM
Crucial M4 256GB SSD (dedicated to software/games)
If anyone has an idea of what parts need upgrading for this to work out well please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
