Does gaming on a 3D display use more VRAM than on a 2D display.
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I think that the title says it all. Does playing a game on a 3D monitor with the 3D enabled use more VRAM than playing without 3D enabled?
Say I have a two Radeon 6950 1GB cards in CF. I know that for 1080p, 1GB is almost always enough during 2D play. However, I just don't know if 3D would necessitate more VRAM.

I'd like a real answer to this myself. I tried to test it within Skyrim, but it was hard to get a clear picture. As I moved around, the memory usage was going up and down.
From what I can tell, 3D Vision (should be the same as HD3D in this case), used a tiny bit more VRAM, but not a lot. It probably used more VRAM for two sets of frame buffers, but was able to share texture info for each eye.
