I don't think the framerate matters for pong :D

Still, was a good read. You always learn something new when lurking through the forums here :D

3D is a much more significant strain on the GPU than on the CPU ... In very simple terms, most of what is done on the CPU is to determine the positioning of objects within 3 dimensional "game" space, and then these objects are transformed into a 2D image by the GPU. To produce a 3D image the objects are still only positioned in 3 dimensional games space once, and then rendered into two separate 2D images.

If you're wearing 3D glasses, it absorbs energy directly from your eyes (rather than the CPU)  to fuel it, speeding up the process at which your eyesight starts to fail but giving you the best ultimate 3D experience, which is more important than your health in the long run.

Even normal games that say they run in 1080p don't run in 1080p.  No games except maybe some fighting games, arcade games, or other games with not a lot going on run in 1080p and have good framerate.

Whatever it is you are smoking... can I have some?

i forgot where i read this. probably on these forums somewhere but wasn't gran turismo 5 confirmed 1080p 3d?

While the TVs can't accept the signal and won't show 1080p even if GT5 does 1080p3D, there are other reasons why it most likely won't be 1080p 3D.

For one, GT5 won't be 1080p in 2D. They are using a scaling technique to strech the horizontal pixels from 1280 to 1920. Its running in 1280x1080p natievely. :)

are you sure thats not gt5p you are talking about? can i have a source for 1280x1080?

Yeah its gt5p...GT5 specs are not out yet.

I really doubt they can magically bump the resolution, add damage and keep everything at 60 frames per second. But I could be proven wrong.

I remember they said Motorstorm in 3D was going to run at 480P in an article some time ago, wich makes sense since it would be the easiest way to adopt a game that usually is optimized to run at 720P.
