AMD HD3D and the TriDef Ignition Driver:
Not Recommended
The TriDef Virtual 3D mode works well, but note that the HUD is distorted by the depth buffer
This game displays significant lighting anomalies that make it unplayable in the TriDef driver’s normal mode. In Virtual 3D, however, it looks quite good.
There are two problems with this mode, however: the depth buffer affects the HUD, and looking down a scope or open sights results in significant blurring on the target area. This is a real detriment when you’re trying to aim to effectively take down targets from distance. This problem can’t be ignored, despite an otherwise-good 3D result.
Nvidia 3D Vision:
Excellent 3D result
Crysis 2 delivers an absolutely unimpeachable 3D experience with 3D Vision
Crysis 2 with 3D Vision is the poster child for stereoscopic gaming. The title looks stunning and, as far as we can tell, it works perfectly. The 3D effect adds a lot to a game that already boasts some of the best PC-based graphics available. Some enthusiasts have complained that this game's method of stereoscopic rendering isn't 'true' 3D as it's created using the depth buffer, a method similar to the TriDef Virtual 3D mode. Regardless, it looks fantastic to our eyes.

So for you it'd be responsible journalism if we noticed a problem with hardware and buried it so our readers wouldn't find out?
Or are you saying we shouldn't report negative findings we notice from any product? Or do you mean just AMD?
From where I'm sitting, what you're suggesting isn't even handed and fair journalism...
No. The borders are there to help you focus. If the images were touching, your eyes would pick out the discrepancy on the edge and make crossviewing more difficult.
And what's with "jerks"...? Was name calling really necessary?
Anyone notice the bevel on the Samsung model. That beautiful for multi-monitor.
Time for Bulldozer!!!
in my opinion both are great......

Hype: maybe.
But as far as games that correctly exploit it, they are already out there. There are some game titles that have superb stereoscopic support already.
