It’s about time that someone performed a meaningful comparison of 3D-enabled games using Nvidia’s 3D Vision and AMD’s HD3D. We put 18 different titles under the microscope to determine which technology gives you the most playability, most often.

Just Cause 2

AMD HD3D and the TriDef Ignition Driver:

Note how the TriDef driver distorts the player's avatar when the image is cross-viewed. This is a really bizarre result that we don't see with any other game using TriDef's Virtual 3D mode.

The TriDef drivers don’t seem to work with this game in normal mode. And, in Virtual 3D, we see a lot of really strange anomalies that we don't see in any other game. The player's avatar is most affected. Therefore, we have to consider this one unplayable using the TriDef Ignition driver.

Nvidia 3D Vision:

Excellent 3D result

This 3D Vision-certified game looks fantastic in 3D.

This game appears to work flawlessly with 3D Vision. It delivers an excellent stereoscopic experience.
