AMD HD3D and the TriDef Ignition Driver:
Excellent 3D result in DirectX 9; DirectX 11 does not work
The TriDef driver does an excellent job in this title as long as the DirectX 9 code path is used
Lost Planet 2 works great in DirectX 9 mode, but we couldn’t get it to work when the game is launched using DirectX 11. Once again, DirectX 11 offers little more than DirectX 9 in this game, though, so we don't consider it too painful of a loss.
Nvidia 3D Vision:
Excellent 3D gameplay result, but slight anomalies in cut scenes
3D Vision also does a great job during gameplay, but the cut scenes have some unpleasant anomalies.
During actual gameplay, this title appears to work flawlessly with 3D Vision. But we did notice some visual anomalies during cut scenes. With such great stereoscopic gameplay, we’re surprised that this title is only rated "Fair" by Nvidia's 3D Vision OSD. We think it deserves a slightly better judgement, but perhaps we missed an artifact that only shows up at a certain point in the campaign.

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.
