How Nvidia Wants To Bring 3D Glasses Back
notthatwillsmith writes "For the last ten years, we've heard the promise of 3D shutter glasses, which when combined with the proper video card drivers and a good display, can trick your brain into thinking that your 2D monitor is creating 3D images. Unfortunately the glasses never really took off, partly because there were rendering problems with many popular 3D games but mostly because monitors didn't support high enough refresh rates to display games without giving people crushing headaches. Nvidia thinks they've solved both problems--the software works much better, and there are a surprising number of supported 120Hz-capable TVs and monitors that ameliorate the headache factor. Maximum PC has a hands-on with Nvidia's new tech, plus details about Nvidia's planned hardware solution."
The games will all still suck, because we spend a billion dollars putting lipstick on a turd.
You can get 15 minutes of fame, but you can go down in history for infamy.

Now, I'm all for the use of good words, but you couldn't have used words like, ya know, improve or help or advance?
I know, I know. I'll probably be modded as a troll, but I'm just saying - why use words like this when more accessible words more than say what you're trying to say. Why use "big" words for the sake of using those words?
