[splinter09]

i have 4870 512gb ddr5 and i want to buy a 3d tv to connect my pc with the 3d tv so my questin is can i watch 3d movies with the card on the tv? or i must have those new nvidia 3d cards to be able to watch 3d

i use dvd cyber link and it has the 3d enable feature

so anyone tried this before?

This should shed light on your question.

i dont want 3d gaming and this didnt answer my question clearly im just asking if anyone tried this before and if it works or not

Since I never had any AMD GPU's since the 9700pro days, I can't say much about it. But, if you are wanting to watch 3D Blu-ray movies, the HD 4870 is HDCP compliant and should work fine with the 3D TV.

ok great....what about this notebook (amd c60 with hd 6290 apu) do you think i can also connect it with the 3dtv just for 3d movies? using cyber link or any 3d player

 

[El Tigre]

Yes, the 6XXX series works fine and is also HDCP compliant with 3D Blu-Ray movies. Cyber Link will work fine with your Blu-Ray movies.

i had an HD 4870 1gb and have a 3D TV and powerdvd 12. Blu-rays will work fine but 3D won't work right at all unless you have a radeon video card with HD3D ?

Okay, I wasn't going to reply but now I feel I have to in order to make sure OP and others get it.

In the .pdf El Tigre Linked, it clearly states that only the 5000 and 6000 series of AMD cards support 3D. On top of that, only the 6 series supports Blu-Ray 3D playback. So, going by this information, I would say that the 4870 would NOT work. I have an Nvidia setup with a 3D Vision Monitor, and a PS3 hooked up to my 3DTV, so I don't use my PC to watch blu-ray movies, and because of this I haven't actually had first hand experience with what you want to do OP.

thats what i posted

thats what i posted

You ended your last sentence in that post with a question mark. Therefor, I wasn't sure if you were stating something or were seeking an answer just like the OP.

 

[gamerkila57]

lol my bad i put question marks at the end of all my sentences ?

i have read that you only need a good modern graphic card and the rest is up to the 3d tv you play the movie in your laptop with any player and in the remote you choose the sbs (side by side) option and the 3d works fine (im not after gaming in 3d)

 

[gamerkila57]

true an not true you still need a video card that will support 3D which the HD 4870 doesn't. i tried several ways with my old HD 4870 to get 3D to work but non of them worked ? you will need at least a HD 5xxx series or higer video card to work like an HD 5770 or HD 6570 ?

 

[splinter09]

ok what about my laptop? (amd c60 with hd 6290 radeon) will it play 3d on tv?

 

[El Tigre]

Yes, since it's a 6XXX series, it natively supports 3D Blu-Ray. Since I haven't had an AMD GPU since the 9700pro days, I wasn't sure about the 4XXX being 3D, I thought since it was HDCP compliant, it would work. :/

 

[splinter09]

thats weird cause when i installed tridef on my laptop (amd 6290 radeon) and tried to 3d gaming it said that your graphic hardware does not support 3d (even when i tried playing a movies with their 3d player) if the 6290 supports 3d as say they why it wont work? is there any difference between the desktop graphic cards 6000 series and the laptops 6000 series?

 

[gamerkila57]

your laptop can't do 3D sorry . if you read this it tells you the HD 6290 can't do blu-ray 3D because it has low processing power. do you game on the pc that has the HD 4870 ?
