Also enhanced physics thanks to PhysX.

THQ and Nvidia have announced that Metro 2022, the upcoming post apocalyptic FPS from Ukrainian studio 4A Games, will ship on PC with support for DirectX 11, Nvidia 3D Vision and PhysX.

Gamers with DX11 cards will experience advanced Depth of Field effects as well as Full Tessellation on character models. The impressive results can bee seen in the game's screen shot gallery.

"Our engineers have been working closely with 4A Games to ensure that Metro 2033 takes full advantage of some of the spectacular effects made possible with the next generation of DX11 hardware," said Tony Tamasi, Senior Vice President of Content and Technology at Nvidia. "The 4A Engine is one of the most advanced game engines we've ever worked with, and with DX11 enabled, Metro 2033 is undoubtedly one of the best looking PC games of 2010. Combine this with Nvidia 3D Vision and PhysX and you will experience mind-blowing visuals."

Metro 2033 is scheduled for release on March 19 for PC and Xbox 360.

We woffs im ike you i bought my system about 2 years ago and ony upgraded the gpu about 5 months ago which is capabe of HD and 3D. So i ony have to fork out for a 3D tv/Monitor and the gear.

But If i get a HD3D TV i can use it for the PC + PS3 + SKY3D when available. So in a way it pays to upgrade. Obviously when the prices drop after the initial hype, it will be worth it.

I havent bought a new monitor or tv for at leest 3 years, so i wouldnt really be wasting money. Ive heard good things about it all so im keeping positive for now.

So, Gear + GPU + Monitor? For [b]heavy[/b/] PC gamers, sure, but I built a performance PC under 2 years ago and I'd need to buy all of those. Totals like £450!?

And honestly I'd be more excited about Windows using it for multiple desktops...

Well if your a heavy PC gamer like me, all you need is either a monitor or HDTV that runs 120hz and Nvidia's 3D gear!

The gear alone is 112 quid, as for the Monitor/TV, il sell my current monitor and get a 22".

Not really costly and seeing as theres 350 games already out that can support 3D I dont think its tooo bad, did i mention that movies played on the Nvidia's 3D rigged pc can also be played in 3D.
