    Anaglyph 3D can be enabled on both nVidia and ATi cards. It can be displayed on a normal 60Hz LCD. Has anyone tried it? What were Your impressions?

    Okay, for those of You who don't know: here is a link to iZ3D driver:

    iZ3D Driver Download Page

    This driver works on both nVidia and ATi cards. Anaglyph output is free to use. It works in any DirectX game on PC. I just tested it with Bioshock 2. Unfortunately, I don't have the anaglyph glasses (cyan-blue). If anyone of You has these glasses, could You test the driver in any game and share Your experience here?

    I would imagine it probably looks like crap.

    I tried it with Mafia and it is pretty cool. The problem is that I did not manage to setup it in a way that the player and the environment is displayed correctly.

    I sticked with the environment being displayed correctly (red and cyan edges overlap) and it is awesome, it gives a whole different feel to the city. It is no good for regular gaming since the colors and brightness are terrible, but it is worth for playing around once in a while.

    NVIDIA 3D Vision Discover (same thing as anaglyph really) makes Burnout Paradise (and many other games) only about 10x more awesome. I think it's time to finally get that 3D Vision Kit (wish it wasn't $200 + expensive monitor). The anaglyph glasses really mess with the colours in the game; everything's pretty much red or blue or a mixture of the two..
