    Hi everyone. Here is a simple steps how to play 3D games on your AW with ATI vga cards. All what you need:
    a) Anaglyph glasses RED/CYAN ( you can found on amazon, rob it from cinema, or you can found them in DVD box with Spy KIds, Sharkboy & Lavagirl and egg.)


    1 Step. Download free drivers from 3D Drivers - Stereoscopic 3D Monitors for 3D Gamers - iZ3D ( for some reasons new beta driver not work on my HD4850 Cross, so if you try and it works let me know)

    2 Step. Run installer. Choose ''Anaglyph DirectX driver''

    Driver will tell you that iZ3D monitor is missing (who cares?). Press OK and then installer let you know that every time colour gamma will restart

    3 Step. Now you can found driver Control panel in system tray. Make sure that every options is enabled

    That's it!!! Now you can put RED/CYAN glasses, run your favourite game. In game menu press CTRL NUM*(control and little star symbol) ENJOY!!!
    In iZ3D Control panel you can choose various options with key combinations in ''Profiles menu''
    I test this driver in Fallout3, Bioshock2 and it work perfectly!!!

    i've bee using it for some time now it works flawlesly for almost every game out there only some EA games have graphical glitches and it does not seem to drain that much power my dual 4850 stock could drive 40 fps in most games in 30 at 1900x1200
