3D, Longer and for Less Dough "... NVIDIA just announced an updated version of its 3D Vision wireless glasses kit that provide 50 percent longer battery life from a single charge. That translates into 60 hours of 3D mania, giving you 20 extra hours over your early adopting neighbor who bought into the first generation eye gear." NVIDIA 3D Vision technology is a combination of Graphics Processor Units (GPU), advanced active-shutter 3D glasses, software, and certified displays and projectors that deliver an immersive 3D experience on your desktop or notebook PC. NVIDIA 3D Vision technology supports the richest array of 3D content available, including more than 500 3D games, Blu-ray 3D movies, and 3D photos and streaming Web video. It also enables users to users to upload, share and view full-resolution 3D photos, as well as enjoy 3D videos at NVIDIA's 3DVisionLive.com, the world's first 3D Vision online community.
Max Settings, Less Money "When taking these into consideration, the GTX 550 Ti is a very impressive graphics card, as it gives gamers a performance increase over previous generation's mainstream graphic cards, yet it also has increased memory bandwidth, which could potentially allow this card to be used for years before becoming obsolete. As shown in our testing, the 550 Ti also scales very well in SLI, so even if a system using this card started to stutter in games, a second card could easily be added for additional performance." And this video can show you how to build a machine for Crysis 2 for under $600. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBIPNGOR-YI&feature=player_embedded "As you saw in this review, even on a dual-core i3 system, an EVGA GTX 550 Ti can handle Crysis 2 quite well and offers a remarkable value for a budget system build." Crysis 2 at 1680×1050 with the ‘Advanced' settings...around $150.....not bad! Better add the 3D glasses! "So to recap... you can now get a GPU capable of running games like Bulletstorm and Crysis 2 at max settings plus the ability to do it all in 3D - all for around $300. That's the same price you'd pay for just a PS3. Seriously, what's your excuse!? There has never been a better time to get into PC gaming!! Get Some!!" GeForce GTX 550 Ti-based graphics cards have already won Hardware Canucks Dam Good Value Award, Hardware Canucks Dam Good Award, Overclockers Club Gold Award, Guru3D Tweakers Essential Award, Tech Power Up Recommended Award, Hi Tech Legion Editor's Choice Award and many others. Game on!
Bulletstorm, Better in 3D "For users who enjoy hordes of enemies, utter destruction, and wreaking absolute havoc, Bulletstorm is an excellent choice. While the story is lacking and rather short (only about 6-7 hours of gameplay), we found the overall experience favorable. We evaluated the experience in 2D and 3D, and found that the overall gaming experience was a lot more fun in 3D." Even the 3D doubters love Bulletstorm in 3D. "I had the opportunity to play a level of the game Bulletstorm in 3D this past weekend, and needless to say I was blown away. My entire view of 3D gaming changed right then and there." 3D Vision is a game changer.
