Just start the game and see. Or if you have NVIDIA 3d vision then just click start, type nvidia control panel and then see compatibilty of games and look at the game. They are rated fair, poor, good excellent.

According to your games COD Black Ops should be 3d vision ready, the others are rated poor to not recommended. So unless you get different games, or can find mods that fix the pixel shaders and such to make 3d good, you will not get much use of it with what you have.

99% of DirectX games support stereoscopic 3D, although not all of them will look any good.

This is true. I figured he/she was wondering if they would be playable in 3d and several are not. Things rendering incorrectly, sites off, shadows or reflections just horrible.

ok guys thanx a lot ...i believe that i will have a good time playing COD black ops and ghost 3d mode :))

I have a 3D monitor myself, it is not so great. The 3D effect is only fun for a few minutes before you don't even notice it anymore. The extra darkness caused by the glasses and the decreased frame rate also lessen the appeal. It's also true that it can cause headaches after a while, in my case it's about 2-3 hours which is plenty for some but depends on the person.

of course for 1 or 2 hours in 3d mode... i don't want to put glasses... :)

Do you have a link to the PC you're looking at, or more details on what it says about "3D mode"? Most, of not all PC's require 3D glasses.

man i am going to buy a toshiba laptop...specifically toshiba Qosmio X770-107... the whole box contains 3d glasses

That is quite an old laptop. I hope you're buying it cheap and know it's at least 2 generations behind now and is discontinued.

VoTheGreat Jul 29, 2013 @ 9:43pm

yes but you see i don't have a lot of money and i just want a gaming laptop that can play the latest games without problem. so i found this in a great offer...

3d does not work in movies unlike your 3D LCD TV. in the case of Nvidia 3d engine, it uses their specific engine and glasses which need to be compatible to the movie player or the game. some games are not compatible with the 3D mode. thus even though you enabled the 3D mode, it won't gives you anything coz they are incompatible. examples of online games that is compatible with the 3D that i've played are Tera, Dota, Guild Wars 2.
