There's not two fucking screens on the top part of the system, it's a fucking optical illusion, you rube.Quote:

Fantastic. Then if that one screen isn't 120Hz, you're not getting 60fps in 3D.
It's not shutter glasses, Yoshi, it doesn't have to alternate back and forth like your overpriced Nvidia set up. There is no logic to what you're saying.Quote:

You should definitely give a full technical explanation of exactly how it works, since you're the fucking expert.
It's a single screen with double the horizontal resolution and a barrier in front of it (basically thin vertical black bars floating a little in front of the screen) that obscures the odd columns from the left eye and the even columns from the right eye. It's just displaying the two images interleaved together on one screen, it just doesn't look like that because of the parallax barrier.Quote:

It's like the difference between rendering a single view and doing split-screen multiplayer on one screen, if that makes sense. Except in this case the views are interleaved together rather than side by side.
Aha. Now I remember reading that a while back, before the misinformation Frog mentioned popped up.
How is it misinformation?
Shutter glasses - seperate frame is sent to each eye. By definition, you need a refresh twice what the framerate of your game is.
Parallax barrier - each eye only sees part of one screen. You don't need a 2x refresh since you're not sending two images to the screen for every frame. Internally the system has to render those frames but the screen "combines" the two.
I'm not talking about what he said; I'm talking about the web information he mentioned.Quote:
