Anyone know of any good free 3D ones?
I'm running an 8 series SLI rig so i have a bit of head-room here ;)

There is one that allows you to use UT99 Demo Recording as your screensaver. Which would be good for those wanting to review thier own gameplay.

Google is your friend, but since it only takes 2.5 seconds I did it for you (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=3d+screensavers&btnG=Google+Search) ;)

The best advice I can give is to just go to Google. There is a lot of stuff out there. I personally do not know of any good 3d screensavers. A quick browse through Google turned up a few.

most screen savers aren't free these days. I guess people think that showing a few images is worth $20.

If you're gonna be searching for free screen savers on Google, be careful. Free screen savers are one of the most popular types of software where adware is included. If you find one you like, it might be a good idea to research/read carefully to see what kinds of software might be bundled with it.

Google fails in situations like this and so do the people pointing to it. ;)
That's the whole reason to ask on a forum. :D
I don't use screensavers though. :(

Wow! When the info said the Hyperspace Screensaver was a number cruncher it wasn't joking!

All of those 'Really Slick' screensavers come with Ubuntu and I can assure you they're a bit of all right.
However, I didn't know they had windows ports too. That's awesome and I'm downloading now :)
Also, don't forget the Windows port of OS X's awesome Flurry screensaver:

Some of the really slick stuff also comes with the excellent style XP (http://www.tgtsoft.com/).

That Hyperspace is stunning. :D

then why is it that half the time people ask simple questions they're referred to a search engine, huh? huh?!
I'll ask somethin' really simple and then you'll say "hey this is a forum" :lol:

I've been using Anark's nVidia Orb (http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_orbscreensaver_home.html) for what seems like years now and I still like it. It compliments my bloo theme really well.

My god. It's like finding a primal tribe still alive and well.
I say we study these strange screensaver using beasts.

Looks similar to some of the stock visualizations in Winamp.

Monitors are getting bigger so why not make them like moving pictures when you're not using them. Lets face it, f@h is a great research tool but it ain't pretty. :D
LCD screens can still be damaged by burning. not so much though. Scr's can also fit in with themes, not just OS skins but the total look. Monitor, keyboard case and mouse, for example, can all match.

I use Digg as a screensaver - http://labs.digg.com/
I also am liking Google's screensaver from the google pack. You can add RSS feeds for new images

It is awesome, but that shape must screw up the air-flow.

Could someone point me to a screensaver that doesnt require me to upgrade my PC?
