Anyone know something free that will nicely show off the 3D capabilities of the MacBook Pro? I'm not a gamer, so I don't have a bunch of those to use, and I really want to see the 3D capabilities of this shine.

How much is your VRAM? The quality of MBP's video capabilites can be seen if you view them High Defination videos - 2 or 3 simultaneously. How smooth and effortlessly they play could be a good test.

But if your looking in the true 3D sense, I'd suggest have a look at http://www.cgtalk.com
