Nvidia 3D Vision Vs. AMD HD3D: 18 Games, Evaluated
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.
Metro 2033
AMD HD3D and the TriDef Ignition Driver:
Excellent 3D result
In standard 3D mode, the TriDef driver appears to work without any problems whatsoever.
Incidentally, the Virtual 3D option seems to be disabled in this title.
Nvidia 3D Vision:
Excellent 3D result
Metro 2033 is a 3D Vision-certified title, and it delivers great visuals. The depth-of-field effect must be disabled, but it’s not really missed.

Kamab Except for the ones where it's not recommended. Good thing I have one on this rig! Now I just got to shell out some cash for some 3D Tech.Reply -
the_krasno 3D is over hyped in my opinion, it will be some more time before games can correctly exploit it.Reply -
falchard Everytime nVidia pushes out a proprietary format they shoot themselves in the foot. They just can't make it marketable with such a low market share. You need something like Microsofts 90% market share to think about making a closed standard.Reply
Anyone notice the bevel on the Samsung model. That beautiful for multi-monitor. -
SteelCity1981 During preliminary testing, we noticed that a decent Phenom II X4 had some trouble providing smooth frame rates, and mid-level graphics cards were cut down to their knees
Time for Bulldozer!!! -
RazberyBandit Would it kill Tom's to use high-resolution pop-up pics? It's nearly impossible to discern any differences in detail or artifacts when comparing such low-resolution images. C'mon...1024 x 317? Seriously?Reply
