FFXIV in 3D is AMAZING

I really do not like 3D. I tend to get whoozy after an hour long session watching movies in 3D. Avatar 3D at the cinema was a nightmare. I dont mind its an option for people to use. But be aware that 3D could result in epileptic shock. That was a warning I got when used the 3D function on my Optimus 3D phone.

I would rather prefer crisp and clear oldschool 2D gfx instead.

I'm happy to hear I'll be able to view 3D in windowed mode now. Shame about the FPS.

Likewise. I've never had an issue with watching 3d movies and such. I have tri-screen 28" lcd's, it would be great to have them in 3d.

The first 2 mins of this video kinda explains exactly how I feel about 3D.

I can't do 3D for longer sessions though, as it does cause eye strain after a while.

That must look amazing. wish i could 3D with 60hz monitors.

Yup... can't play without it now. It's just an amazing experience. Especially when playing FPS or Racing games.

So basically eyefinity is a 3 monitor setup run by a special video card? A bit confused about the technology.

Any ATI card post 4000 series can support 3 screens simultaneously.

It requires one of the three however to be used with an "active display port adapter" (about $25 on newegg)

What it does is merges the 3 screens to create one "large" screen with a extremely long resolution. 1080x5040 in my case. This gives games their "peripheral" and what appears on my center screen is what everyone else sees. The 2 screens on the side are "extra vision" or "peripheral"

The image is not "stretched" though, many people think this. its a lot like going from a square monitor/tv to a widescreen. You get to see more than someone with a square view.

Eyefinity looks very fish-eye camera to me. The clouds and surrounding landscape tilt and swirl towards the middle. Is it that noticeable while you're playing, or is it only something you really pick up in the screen shots?
