More About the Nvidia 3D Surround Vision

It was as early as January 2009 when Nvidia first brought out the latest in 3D active-shutter technology, called the Nvidia 3D Vision kit, to the ever growing PC gaming world. Of course, since then the demand for 3D based media has exploded with not just games but motion pictures and other video media, all having support for 3D technology. In fact, you have perhaps already seen your favorite movie in both 2D as well as 3D. In addition to motion pictures, new models of high definition TVs and Blu-Ray players offer 3D capable features that offer nothing short of a wonderful stereoscopic experience right in your living room. Not to mention hundreds of PC games that are now available with support 3D right out of the box. Obviously, we are soon to be faced with a day where every form of entertainment will be in 3D.

Along with the rise of 3D, there has also been a new attraction on the scene. That of multi-monitor gaming. Along with 3D, multi-monitor gaming perhaps offers gamers a perfect way of truly immersing themselves in a game. One of the first technologies to offer this was the ATI Eyefinity technology that let gamers view the game over a single large surface but spanning multiple monitors and producing phenomenal resolutions. It was only to be expected that Nvidia would come up with a technology that would match that of ATI. Almost all the hardware necessary for Nvidia to implement such a technology had been in existence but the drivers required to run it had not been developed till recently.

And Nvidia did not fail to deliver. Its 3D Vision Surround technology allows users to connect three 3D capable monitors to a pair of video cards and thus experience an overwhelming gaming experience that never been experienced before. With 3D and Surround capability, a gamer can have as realistic an experience with the new games.

One should mention here that the entire experience does not come cheap. If you look at the system requirements for 3D Vision Surround, you will find that you will have to shell out quite a bit to get the complete set-up. To begin with, the Surround mode will require that you have three monitors, all with the same resolution. Therefore, in addition to your existing setup, you will have to add one or two more displays. If you are looking for 3D Vision Surround, you will need three LCD monitors, all capable of supporting 3D and of the exact same model. This in itself should cost a package. Now add the cost of two latest GeForce video cards and you will see why not many will rush out to buy this technology. 

However, enthusiastic gamers have always been more than willing to invest in a product or technology that can enhance their gaming experience. And about that, there is no doubt. Almost all experts and gamers agree that Nvidia 3D Surround Vision till today provides the smoothest and most realistic gaming experience.
