    Hello. Yesterday I just discovered that my Geforce GTX560 TI has a 3D vision ability so I checked in my driver and find the 3D section. When I finish the 3D test that confirmed that I can see stuff in 3D I just launch my Battlefield 3 and played in 3D. It seems like I need a two blue glasses because there was to much red in the 3D vision so I jumped over to nvidia website and saw their glasses. Apparently, for the 3D vision, I need a 3D monitor and their 3D glasses. I don't have a problem to buy the glasses but buying a new monitor is to expensive specially after I upgraded to the Dell U2312 last month. The question is- do I really have to get one of their 3D fancy monitors?

    The real question is do you really need 3D? I have seen movies in the 3D though never played and games. My GPU supports 3D but on the whole it will put a strain on performance!

    The above is true, 3d does put quite a hit on FPS

    Do you need a 3D Vision monitor for Nvidia 3D - short answer is yes. They are qualified to work together as Nvidia does a branding program.

    This. However, if you're doing it the old red and blue way, as far as I'm aware any monitor will do as it displays both images at the same time with the glasses doing the filtering.

    You need the 120Hz so that it can display both images at once, each of those frames being at 60Hz. one "red" frame at 60Hz while displaying a "blue" frame also at 60Hz both at the same time, which = 120Hz.
