Press release
VIP Computer Centre Ltd (VIP), the UK's leading independent distributor of computer components and peripherals, today announced that it is the exclusive distributor for Northern Europe of the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision kit, bringing on-screen characters and environments to life for hundreds of PC games.
In addition to the kit, the set-up requires a standard gaming PC with GeForce® 9800GT or above graphics and a 120Hz monitor. Over 300 of the latest games currently work with GeForce 3D Vision, so gamers won't need to fork out for a special version of their favourite game or download a special gaming patch.
The kit will be available from the 1st May 2009, only to VIP customers. Initial stock will only be sold to customers who have secured allocation of 120Hz Samsung monitors.
