[quote="msm903"]I myself so badly would like to play the game, but most time before I can start a mission I either get a crash or broken 3D not to mention extremely low framerates.

One thing I've found is that the game does not like to alt-tab out. I'll get a crash on occasion as it tries to re-init the graphics system. Maybe try to make sure that it fires up properly full screen. It seems like it prefers to have a single monitor active, and that monitor already at the game resolution+frequency. If you still get crashes, it would be worth trying a full clean install of the driver using DDU in Safe Mode. Also delete the c:\nvidia directory, as that has been known to be problematic for driver installs. Please keep experimenting and reporting back on what works and does not work, and maybe we can get a sense for what causes it.

If I disable Surround and play on a single Monitor with the max payne 3 profile, and Vsync off in game forced to adaptive in NCP my issues with 3d being disabled are resolved. Max graphics settings but grass set to normal.

[quote="knowledgeDK"]I been testing since release date and i thought i had to share the following info: The newest driver 350.12 - - LOW FPS in 3D / something seems completely off like others also wrote before me. Without 3D i can run everything in MAX with 60+ FPS. With 3D i drop everything to normal and still only have 30-45 fps. - Shaders seems to work most of the time (unless they random break / happends mostly when i drive) - Awfull ghosting on all lightning (mostly during nighttime) The driver before that (or the one i had / i rolled back) - 347.90 - FPS seems completely stable in 3D, i can max most things out and still run 60+ fps without any drops. - Shaders COMPLETELY broken. Some windows have a strong light in one eye and normal in the other. And shadows + everything else just looks weird when outside. Inside is fine. - No ghosting at all Hope the NVIDIA team can do something. Thank you bo3b/helifax for your awesome work. [/quote] Excellent post, this sums up pretty much all the problems Iam having with the 3D in this game, but it is compiled a lot nicer and tidier than my older posts...We need a new driver with updated 3D profile and probably with some tweaks and fixes for the game, because at this moment right now Iam too getting half the fps when I have 3D enabled and getting random crashes aswell.. [quote="RAGEdemon"]For the people suffering from huge performance issues in 3D, I am willing to bet that you guys don't have great CPUs, and ones that do, probably not overclocked to ~4GHz+; and are getting low GPU utilisation.

Hi ! I still got troubles to play the game in 3D. I followed bob3b and helifax advices for the parameters. I succeeded to play the 20 first minutes of the game in 3d but in the first mission with the car, it crashed and I never could play in 3d again. I could play the game in full screen mode but only in 2D....As soon as I want to put Full screen mode (directx 11 1080p 144mhz) AND 3D, it doesn't work ! Everything is up to date (nvidia 350.12, GFE, GTA patch). I can play a lot of games in 3D without problems (Max Payne 3,...). Other problem, impossible for me to optimyze GTAV parameters with GFE (the other games yes ?). My PC : win8.1, Core I7 4770k, 1 GTX 770, Asus VG278HR. I opened a rockstar support ticket but no answer at this moment...So much thanks for the help, it would be a pity to play this wonderful game without 3D if you got the means to....

On my rig, with the MP3 profile, things are sweet and performance is good. Similar setup to Bo3b's. Testing with other profiles: On the newest driver's GTA5 profile, the game has the issues as above knackered. Just removing GTA5.exe results in the game working but with 'occasionally unstable' shadows and less FPS.

I'm having the same problems, 3DVision won't "stick", fails after between 5 and 15 minutes usually. Happens while driving or running. I've tried the latest 350.12 driver and also reverted to 347.88, both failed. Either the shadows suddenly start messing up, or stereoscopic fails and it starts rendering in 2D. Sometimes changing screen size or alt tab will fix the shadows, but not for long. Often it won't work at all. Tried the Max Payne 3 profile and suggested settings, that didn't help, still failed after a short while. Have tried lots and lots of other settings, none work. Really hate this, only reason I got this game was for the stereoscopic support. Without it, this is an expensive waste of money.
