welcome to my 3D Vision video with the GTX 560 so for this trick I will require
an ASUS 120 HZ 23.6 in LCD monitor
capable of 3D Vision okay so I'll need a
3D Vision ready monitor 1080p I will also need NVIDIA 3D Vision
glasses which are here with a security
device attached to them not that I stole them
they came with that okay I will also need a 3D Vision ready video card in
this case I actually have four different well these are sort of similar 3D Vision
ready video card so I have the GTX 580 which retails for about 500 bucks I have
the GTX 560 TI all new so I have a twin
frozer 2 version and I also have a
reference NVIDIA stock clocked version and then last but not least I have a GTX
460 so these guys retail around 250 to 280 and this guy retails at uh a little
bit lower so it's kind of the last generation 560 ti so the point of this
video is to show you guys how these cards compare to each other in a 1080p
High detail gaming 3D environment well
with 3D so stereoscopic 3D I only use a
small cross-section of games but I'm going to test the 460 by itself the 560
by itself 560s in SLI because at that
price point they're very similar in price to a single 580 which I will also
be comparing because it is the cream of the crop for single
cards so guys what I have on the test bench right now is my dual GTX 560s
although I have the driver configured right now so that I'm only using one of
them so I'm testing it's single 560 I'm
testing 580 I'm testing dual 4 dual 560
TI and I'm also testing a 460 in order
to find out what's going to give the most satisfactory 3D gaming experiences
in my test games here so this one I would consider dual or
single 560 not really playable uh at
1080p remember I am running four times anti-aliasing eight times AF um I'm
running everything on Max at 1080P and then it's rendering it from two
different angles at the same time which is a lot more demanding for the
GPU so it's actually quite challenging for me to do my run through like this
because the frame rate is so um well
unsatisfactory but I'm doing my I'm doing my best with it here so that I can
provide the results that you guys want but anyway yeah so my graphs are
upcoming and I'm going to show you guys how all these different configs are
going to perform with 3D Vision which I
mean I've said it before and I'll say it again is pretty much the most most
immersive experience short of 3D Vision surround that you can buy
today oh my goodness I'm not going to be able to kill these guys unless I like do
that oh do you turn it off
already so as you can see from the charts and graphs the data is pretty
interesting because the GTX 560 TI in
SLI do outperform the single GTX
580 in two of the tests whereas the GTX
580 outperforms the 560 TI in one of the
3D Vision tests so what that means to me
especially given the narrow margin of victory for either solution is that
these are similar in performance in 3D Vision so what's interesting about that
though is that I actually found the 560 TI solution to be slightly less playable
that is the dips were lower and the Peaks were higher resulting in a similar
average frame rate but a less satisfactory overall experience so what
I would probably choose for a purely 3D Vision gaming experience is the GTX 580
now this contrasts with the results that I was
able to achieve with the 560s and SLI in
my other video where I was not running stereoscopic 3 and the 560s despite
their similar price point actually destroy the GTX 580 that is in
traditional 3D gaming that is not stereoscopic and does not involve these
glasses so before we finish up here just want to show you guys the test platform
that I used so I'm using an Intel x25 M
80 gig SSD for my boot drive I'm using an MSI p67a gd65 Motherboard I'm using
an Intel Core i7 2600 K processor it is
overclocked to 4.7 GHz so that I can
avoid as much as possible any CPU bottlenecks and then I have 8 gigs of
mushkin Redline ridgeback
memory in order to well have memory for
the system so thank you for checking out my video on the 3D Vision gaming
experience with the GeForce GTX 560 TI
