To go 3D you need to have a significantly powerful computer with a video card strong enough to produce 2 images simultaneously for 3D. First you will need to cross reference your CPU against our list of 3D Ready CPUs. This is not an exclusive list just our results from 5+ years of testing. Second you need to determine if your video card is powerful enough to run 3D. These are often significantly higher than video cards installed in main line PC's so it is common to need to upgrade your video card when going 3D. Again this list is impartial. If you believe you have gotten 3D to work with a card not found on this list please contact us at webmaster@tru3d.com so that we can look into testing it ourselves.
These are our best guides to help you upgrade but it is not easy and shouldn't be attempted by anyone who is not an expert windows system builder. Many people spend lots of money and never get there. If you really want to go 3D and don't like to mess around with PC's then we encourage you to invest in one of our 3D system. We have invested more than 5 years figuring them out.
