3D PC gaming - General Questions - Passive 3D - AMD ATI

[dougyfresh]

Greetings.

My electronics department began featuring a Vizio TV with "Theater 3D" glasses. This is a 'passive 3D' method.

My question is: Will such a TV just render the image in 3D and then I just put glasses on? I was trying to see if that's all there is to it.


The active 3D glasses and special software seems to have a lot of limitations.

If the TV itself just creates the 3D image from my graphics output, then I put on the 3d glasses, does it work?

My primary interest is PC gaming - Battlefield 3, and dozens of other titles such as Diablo, Supreme Commander, etc, etc. I use high-end AMD Radeon cards.



If this wouldn't work, can you explain why?


Thanks,

Doug Rochford

Some TV's support the 2D to 3D conversion but that's not what you want

To use a passive 3D tv on a AMD card your still going to need to use a 3rd party software like Tridef or IZ3D to actually drive the 3d output
And have the TV connected idealy by HDMI
