Interested in Purchasing, Some Questions

[Spinelli]

I’m interested in purchasing VorpX as I’m thinking about finally moving away from my triple 27″ Nvidia 3D Vision monitor setup. I just purchased a Pimax 5K Super in order to take advantage of their awesome trade-in deal for their upcoming 12K model.

I noticed on the VorpX page, it advertises 2 different 3D modes. I’m guessing these are true 3D stereoscopic vision and “fake” 3D (I believe this is often to referred to as z-buffer depth 3D or something like that). If so, how do we know which games are compatible with which 3D modes?

Being a long-time user of 3D / stereoscopic vision gaming, there’s a big difference to me between true and “fake” 3D. I therefore need to know which games are compatible with the true 3D using VorpX.

Furthermode, I’m also wondering about some games. I see VorpX supports rFactor 1 but does it support some other games that are built on a similar engine to rFactor 1 like GT Legends and Race 07 / Race Injection? If not officially supported, can we just use the VorpX rFactor 1 settings/files for those games?

Finally, does VorpX rFactor 1 support true or “fake” 3D? These games all work pretty-much absolutely perfectly with Nvidia’s 3D Vision “out of the box” with no special files nor fixes or any thing like that needed so I know for sure they’re capable of handling true stereoscopic vision.

Not up to date but should give you some information. I haven´t played rFactor 1 myself but it has G3D support and same engine games like Race07.

Sometimes stuff breaks after updates so its never 100% sure that a game works now that has before but older games its rarely the case.

Also if a profile is missing its pretty simple to do it yourself if there is a game that uses the same engine.

G3D is all ways better than Z3D if you look purely at the depth information, but often you have to run in Z3D modes because of performance or there are graphical glitches in G3D mode. And in my opinion Z3D mode in many games isn´t far off from G3D and I think it (Z3D) looks better in VR than in monitor/TV.

Thanks. The games I’m interested in (rFactor 1, GT Legends, Race 07) are on that list under the gmotor engine. Fantastic news. The official VorpX list only lists rFactor 1.

I also read someone mention using OpenTrack with VorpX. It has something to do with head-tracking, yes? I’m using a Pimax with no basestations (AKA lighthouses). Do I need OpenTrack?

Also, is G3D proper, true stereoscopic vision?

Yes G3D is true stereoscopy, real 3D

For fun I downloaded GT Legends and seems to work fine with vorpx with G3D, 7 years since I last booted up that game. :)

That means a lot. Thank you!!!
