    Can anyone confirm whether or not AMD HD3D works on ATI mobility graphics cards? On AMD's website, it is clearly stated that the supported graphics cards do not include the 5870m:

    Supported Hardware

    However, since this card is based off of the 5770, I do not see why they would remove this support. My HD 5870m should be coming any day so I will be able to test it, but I want to know now!

    Hmmmm.....something worth trying when I get home but I only have passive glasses.

    Install the 10.10 driver and then what?? Doesn't give a whole lot of info.

    3d works on ati cards since quite a bit of time how ever it may need a 3rd party software such as iz3d to enable it

    ah, the link makes it sound like it's supported natively.
