  1. Re:ARGH!!!! 3D + TV-Out: Impossible under Linux? by dalinian · · Score: 1 · on Little Linux Systems For Whatever Ails Ya

    If you want one, it's the Elsa Gladiac 511 TV-OUT with 64 megs of memory, with the Geforce 2 MX 400 and with S-Video output (check out the Elsa site for the European version that I've got if you're European; I don't know if the US etc. versions of the card are any different, though).

  2. Cheese. by grub · · Score: 2 · on 3D w/o Goggles

    They just use layers of LCDs? I currently use a set of wireless Elsa Revelator glasses . They are cheap, (~100-150 dollars), work with any DirectX or OpenGL game, and most nvidia cards.

    With the light off and the SBLive on high, it's the only way to game :)

  3. Only new information.... by Mr+Thinly+Sliced · · Score: 1 · on Windows Games On Linux

    As far as I can tell, the only new tidbits of information contained in the article, are the use of SourceForge as their repository mechanism.

    I tried the preview with Alice game demo, and was pleasantly suprised, but the frame rate was still sucko compared to under win98.

    Its a shame that linux is still light years behind in game dev - I've got Revelator 3d glasses and i don't think the support for these will be coming anytime soon.....

  4. nVidia's high end vs. low end by Animats · · Score: 2 · on Nvidia's NV20
    nVidia makes a "high-end/low-end" distinction that's something of a joke in the industry. There are "high end" boards for professional 3D work (the Quadro line), and "low end" boards for gamers (the GeForce line). The "high end" product offer antialiased lines, work better with the window system, come with real warranties, and cost much more.

    They're the same boards, with the same chips. The only difference is the position of two chip resistors which identify the product type. In some models, the "high end" board was a part selection; the faster chips went to the high end. But with the latest round, the GeForce 2 Ultra, the low end is faster. So the reason for the distinction has vanished.

    nVidia finally bought ELSA, the last maker of high-end boards that used nVidia chips. At this point, ELSA basically is a sales and tech support operation. It's not clear yet whether nVidia is going to bother with the high end/low end distinction much longer. I hope they get rid of it; its time has passed.

    stay away fromthe goggle but you're dead wrong if you think that's the be all and end all of home 3d.

    try the 3D Revelator mentioned in the article. Same effect from $40 wireless glasses - a bit bigger than a pair of shades and comfortable over glasses (mine anyway).

    you need a 120hz vertical refresh monitor too

  6. I user LCD glasses - the rool by DrSkwid · · Score: 1 · on More on the 3D DTI Monitor

    I use the 3d Revelator from ELSA

    They work with DirectX and now OpenGL on Windows with Nvidia cards. For about $50 you can get the wireless ones. They fit nicely over glasses (as I can confirm!). they also do a browser plug in so you can view .jps files in 3d too.

    well worth $50 i can tell ya. Need For Speed rocks even more in 3d
    .oO0Oo.

  8. Linux not mentioned on GLoria II spec page by willow · · Score: 1 · on NVidia + OpenGL + Linux

    FYI... Although the press release mentions Linux as a supported OS, I don't see it listed in the preliminary specs on Elsa's page.

    Hopefully this is an oversight or I just missed it.

  9. Re:nVidia's practices by R.+Anthony · · Score: 1 · on Ask John Carmack About Quake - or Anything Else
    I'm not sure I agree with you. The only information I've read regarding companies making any modifications are Leadtek and Elsa. Leadtek, in addition to adding a DVI connector to the card, is *supposedly* planning on installing a heat monitoring device, while Elsa was *supposedly* looking to make some small adjustments in order to fix the overheating problems. The Creative & Elsa cards have an ETA of 10/15, while Leadtek has advertised 10/22 and Guillemot's ETA is listed as "mid-October" which doesn't leave a whole lot of time to totally redesign the reference card.

    The card has 23 million transistors on a 0.22 micron "GPU" die running at 120 MHz. I'd read that nVidia was planning on putting an air funnel through the die to remove hot air out, but *supposedly* card manufacturers had vetoed this :)

    I'm somewhat skeptical about so much of the FPU intensive T&L work being shifted onto the GPU (graphical processing unit), essentially negating the usual FPS (frames per second) increase from having a faster CPU... So I plan on waiting to see what experiences the *beta* users have before diving in.

  10. Re:Some of us HAVE to use 3dfx Voodoo cards by zuvembi · · Score: 1 · on 3dfx sues Creative Labs over Glide

    The Asustek v3800 and the Elsa Erazor III both support these(TV in & out). If you don't think that will work for you, grab any TNT2 or TNT2 Ultra board and a Hauppage WinTV 98 . The single card or the combo should do everything your old cards did, only faster.

    So there you have it, the NVidia based boards that do everything you want, or a two board solution (like you have now), that does everything you want. But why would you want to watch TV? Don't you know it rots your brain? :)
