Abstract
The Need:
Close to 400 games are available for gameplay on PC-based platforms and 3D
capable monitors. These are all 2D games that are rendered a second time to
create a 3D perspective. But what does this do to the gameplay? Are the 3D
monitors all the same? Does the driver support for the conversion make a
difference? These are the key questions we set out to answer in this special
test report.
We have taken the perspective of the gamers to evaluate the gameplay for a
number of games on three 3D monitors. We did this to see if this type of
gaming is as compelling to gamers as the various companies involved in the 3D
market claim it is.
Report Objective:
The objective of this report is to provide details of gameplay on 24 different
video games in stereoscopic 3D and determine if such gameplay is truly
immersive and compelling. In addition, we wanted to clearly document the level
of performance, the visual impact on each display and the effect of driver and
hardware implementation.
Highlights:
- Step-by-step experience of setting up an S-3D gaming system
- Evaluation of S-3D display monitors (iZ3D, Hyundai, NVIDIA/Samsung)
- Results of extensive play of 24 titles in S-3D
- Reactions of gamers to S-3D
- S-3D value proposition summary
