3D Vision

[hilson8]

Hello, I'm going to buy a Nvidia GTX 460 1GB and going to get 3D vision later on. I was just wondering If I'm going to need a CPU upgrade as well.
I'm currently running on a Athlon 6000 Duel Core 3.1Ghz.

Thanks.

Hmm, you will be processing twice as many frames as normal.

to make you aware, you will have to run games at lower settings with 3D vision, as your system has to do twice the work...I presume you have a 3D monitor etc.

If I was to do 3D I wouldnt do it with anything less than a 470...thats my opinion. your Dual Core shouldnt bottleneck the GFX that much...but its worth an upgrade.

Ok Thanks. Will try upgrade It to make a Phemon Quad 3.3Ghz or something If thats a good Idea.

Does your mobo support Phenom quads?

Just did some research and i found it It does.
I have a GA-MA770-DS3 motherboard.

I think It does and hope so not 100% sure on it.

Would you recommend any processers which would go with my Motherboard?

I'm going to buy that card and was wondering what the Golden Sample means on the title? (GS)
