As I am pretty new to SH3 I don't know how to show framerate. If someone tells me how I could post framerate differences in SH3 with and without stereo, in my P4 3.6 Gh prescott and Nvidia 5900XT, 1 Gb DDR, I have it running smooth; I do not feel any difference, but better to check fps counter, becasue there are always a fps hit.

Ususally I got a 35-40% fps loss, but the effect is SO wonderful that it does not matter to me. And additionally, when in stereo there is no need for AA or AF because the brain makes some kind of antialiasing.


I'll try to put some screenies of SH3 in 3d, although some of them will show the problems mentioned in my first post.

Thanks to the stereo driver from Nvidia you can capture 3d screenies.

Can't wait to see the screenies. You forgot to mention what I can do to got the 3D to work with red & blue glasses. I can't afford the shutter glasses right now, so even if red & blue is kind of cheezeball, I'd still like to try it.

What do I need to download ?
