The X3D Glasses were even less impressive than I was expecting. Now, stereoscopic 3D has never been a very impressive thing, but I was expecting it to at least be better than red-green line drawings I did when I was a child. To give it credit, the 3D-ness was probably superior. The problem is that a drawing only needs to be an inch or two 3D to be reasonably entertaining, whereas a computer game would need at least a few feet, because it's viewed from a greater distance. When it tries to do that, it doesn't look like the object is a few feet outside the screen - it just looks like my eyes are malfunctioning and I'm getting annoying double-vision, as if alcohol-induced. Hooray for the satisfaction guarantee.
The NVidia GeForce 4 TI4200, on the other hand, is lovely, having no trouble at all with Grand Theft Auto 3 on full detail.
