    You got it wrong, it's a high end piece it'll sell regardless of the time of year. Worst case scenario, retailers don't get to ship all their orders before new years.

    Regarding eye strain:

    Permanent eye damage can occur from your eye constantly refocusing / under strain.

    In fact, that's how near and far sightedness starts often: eye muscle strain / weakness ends up affect eyesight. Those of us who have had eye surgery also know from the doctors not to do things that strain our eyes for the first year, since it can hamper recovery.

    That's why I tend to stay away from 3D stuff anyways... most of it my eyes can pick up the fact it's not, so I noticeably feel eye strain after watching something for a few hours.

    Regarding Christmas availability:

    Honestly, a $350++ video card is such a niche product that buyers aren't waiting for Christmas. Both sides have launched cards at random times (the 8800GT and Cypress were all launched during non-holidays and sold like hotcakes) and haven't been hampered. Christmas is when your lower end cards are most likely to be moved - enthusiast grade cards are called enthusiast because that's who the buyers are. They ain't waiting for Santa

    The main point is that your left and right eyes are focusing on slightly offset images for each eye.

    The 3d is bad for you really didn't appear on this board until AMD version was shown to be buggy and full of errors. Nvidia version is too don't get me wrong, but AMD's is completely broken.

    3d is bad has always been around, it's just not a big issue since it was pretty niche

    And it is bad for you, lawsuits etc. don't matter - it's your fault for using it, after all. And doctors do warn people about eyestrain, but as we all know, most people don't care until it's too late

    Yeah, I stabbed out one of my eyes so I wouldn't have to endure the strain of seeing the world from two separate angles all the time. Binocular vision is overrated, yarrr.

    lol... how would you get cross-eyed by using polarization or shutter glasses? you're not even crossing your eyes with these.

    eee show me a model of both because i dont really know ...

    The issue with either shutter or polarised glasses is not so much that you are seeing two slightly different images (this is how our eyes work after all), but rather that it tricks our eyes into trying to focus on something where it is not. Hence, by looking at '3D' images all day, we are possibly training our brains/eyes to focus on a plane located in a different position to where we perceive the object we are looking at. This is why so many people get headaches or just more worn out while watching 3D movies (rather than regular 2D).

    For example, you load up your favourite game (now in three-dee!!!) and see a zombie rushing at you. It was at first 5 meters from you, then 3 and then OMG! it is right there licking the sweat from behind your ears. It seemed so real that you thought you had caught the infection. Your head even began to hurt. Ow. The reason was the zombie was never 5 meters away, it was half a meter at all times. Your brain 'saw' it at 5 meters, told your eyes to focus at five meters and discovered things got blurrier. So your eyes refocused at half a meter. But then you realise that the zombie is at 3 meters and so you try to focus at 3 meters...etc, etc, etc.

    If people don't get some form of eye damage from sitting in front of a 3D settup for long periods of time I will be surprised. Not interested in it until health concerns and comfort are addressed.

    i keep looking in here for more rumors, youd think that every day going past we would have more "news worthy" speculation. instead its a battle of 3D vs eye cancer.

    First samples sounds like a paper launch in three weeks.
    Looks like we have another Charlie here. Strange he is always so much critical of the other Charlie.

    It's more like: AMD GPU's support 3D, now 3D is bad. Something between those.

    Don't turn this into a trolling fest with personal attacks. Charlie would be spouting hate about AMD/Nvidia and getting happiness out of this delay. I am just making a pretty normal comment about first samples being sent now. Compare this to charlie who says nvidia has no cards, they are lying to shareholders, all they can do is spin spin spin, etc. I hold Charlie a lot more accountable and we should too because he is a journalist and getting paid via advertisements to run his website. If your going to say something negative about a company the way he does it, you better be darn right.

    I am not getting joy out of this delay and I would rather the card came sooner than later.

    I think the reason 3d was mentioned in the first place was to bring down a strength of Nvidia cards, over AMD cards. I simply asked for real evidence which is fair when i provided evidence in my original post.

    Seriously leave the personal attacks out.
