The Good

Without a doubt, the first and probably most important thing that could be said about the GeForce 3D Vision is the fact that it offers users a whole new, enhanced way of enjoying visual content, whether we're talking about PC games or movies. In fact, as far as the movies are concerned, the overall effect is absolutely spectacular, much more “striking” than in the case of games.

Two other important pros this kit has to offer is the very easy setup, as well as the fact that it works quite well even if you're wearing vision glasses, which is a major pro, given just how many people actually need such vision-enhancement accessories.

The Bad

Probably the worst thing we might say about the GeForce 3D Vision system is the fact that it has an absolutely huge overall package price. Yes, the kit itself is just around 200 US dollars, but in order to actually put it to good work, you'll have to also purchase an NVIDIA GPU supporting this technology, plus a 3D-ready PC monitor, which doesn't come cheap. Moreover, getting one's eyes accustomed to this experience might take a while.

Another thing worth mentioning is the fact that early adopters are still reporting some glitches with SLI configurations. Plus, let's face it, today's games have simply not reached a high-enough level of optimization, one that will allow gamers to enjoy a truly immersive 3D gaming experience.

Overall Impressions

We might say that NVIDIA's GeForce 3D Vision represents a good starting point for the future visual PC experience, but it's still in its early stages and there's a lot more work to be done before becoming mainstream. However, we're quite confident that NVIDIA is on the right track and will get there pretty soon.
