3D Vision Call of Duty: Black Ops Performance Review Linus Tech Tips

Linus Tech Tips opens the video by setting up a 3D Vision performance review for Call of Duty: Black Ops, running the game on a 1920×1080 monitor with a 60 Hz refresh rate. He tests a single GTX 580, a GTX 480, and two GTX 460s in SLI, comparing both single‑card and dual‑card configurations. The video explains the graphics settings, the use of 3D Vision glasses, and the methodology for measuring frame rates. Linus notes that the maximum frame rate is capped at 60 fps, so the average FPS is the key metric for evaluating performance. He concludes that all tested configurations are acceptable for playing the game in 3D, with the single‑card setups showing a lower dip in minimum FPS than the SLI setup, indicating smoother performance.

The comments reveal a strong enthusiasm for the 3D Vision test, with viewers praising the choice of GPUs and the clarity of the glasses. Many commenters mention the 60 Hz refresh rate and the importance of enabling vsync for smooth 3D playback. A few users note the camera man’s presence and the potential for a new Linus Tech Tips TV show. Overall, the audience appreciates the detailed methodology and the practical insights into GPU performance.
