According to sources in Taiwan's graphics card industry, Nvidia has outsourced the manufacturing of its GeForce 3D stereo glasses to EMS provider Flextronics, and the product has passed design validation tests (DVT) in October and is ready to be shipped before the end of 2008. Once the product is launched, Nvidia will not ship the product to all of its partners but will instead choose a sole distributor in each market zone to prevent price competition, and the product will be mainly targeted to system integrators (SI), especially in the China and South Korea markets, the sources explained.
However, if Nvidia does begin shipping the product this year, the company will not see much of a boost in its sales of related graphics cards, as there is currently only one display on the market that officially supports the product, and that product is a TV, not an LCD monitor.
