Are you playing on a single monitor or on 3D Vision Surround? I'm assuming its Surround and 3D together that is causing the problem here, as I tried out 3D on one of my monitors in single monitor mode and it was working, although Resident Evil Revelations 2 was still giving me problems that I wasn't experiencing before with the GTX 980.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw your later comment. Are you using 3DTV Play for running 3D on your HDTV? I'm not exactly sure how 3D Vision and HDTVs work.

I'm using duplicate displays not surround the 3DTV is a UN55HU9000 I have problems with 3D vision Resident Evil Revelations 2 with my 980 GTX when using Trident it's OK.

[quote="vulcan78"]When a card comes along that is 100% faster than GTX 980 / 780 Ti, games will be even more demanding, and will require even more power[/quote]
Fixed that for you.
How can the most powerful consumer GPU in the world be a "fail"? That's like saying that a cheetah is "fail" because it can't run 300 km/h. You're essentially saying that all of gaming is "fail".
I've learned that there's no silver bullet with PC gaming. You always have to make compromises. I have two titans (regular), and even when they were the best cards on the planet, I still had to make compromises.
You can't have the latest games, and the highest settings, and the highest resolution, and the best AA, and 3d,and 60fps. You can have some of those things, but never all of them. Not on SLI, and certainly not on single GPU. I wish it were otherwise, but it isn't.
Also, Crysis 3 might be from 2012,but it's still the best looking game around, for my money. Like Crysis 1,it was way ahead of its time.

I own an NVidia Titan X and for the money this is a great single video card solution for playing at 1080P 3D with all the bells & whistles. This card benchmarks are not far from titan Z which was $3000 at launch and only had a 6GB frame buffer. I think as far UHD 3D is couple of years away for a single card solution.

@vulcan78
If I could add an observation. The notion of "value for money", is subjective in my view, in so far as it depends entirely upon the amount of finance a consumer has at their disposal. Console only gamers would scoff at how much [i]all[/i] pc gamers spend, comparatively speaking. A fact, which I'm quite sure you already know. A GTX 780ti beats a GTX Titan all day long, but for me my cards have done what I could have reasonably expected of them. I don't have high expectations of anything at all, enabling the occasionally pleasant surprise when those low expectations are exceeded. Time itself, is of more value to some than money, and they are not prepared to waste it waiting for the perfect card.
In the rather expensive quest for absolute 'no compromise' gaming, my rig's running on fumes and momentum only now. The more important thing here is looking for reasons to still try to enjoy gaming in true 3D going into the future. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but NVidia are not obliged to include stereoscopic 3D capability in any of their future cards, and a 980ti coming on to the market would be a completely academic event without any 3D Vision capability included. Such an event could be a more likely one if consumers of earlier cards do not insist on complete 3D functionality on earlier cards such as the Titan X.
Using an analogy from the movie Apollo 13, the flight controller is finally forced to ask "What have we got on the spacecraft that works?" Viewing this thing as a disaster as you do, the important thing would be to find out, what works. Titan X works with 3D on certain TV's/monitors. Next is making sure NVidia deliver in SLI, SLI scaling, and 3D in Surround. To me feedback right here, on the Titan's 3D performance, or lack of, counts for a lot, as they've made the big decision to part with their hard earned cash.

[quote="vulcan78"]For me, the whole allure of a new uber-card is the ability to either push 2.5K in 3D Vision (or 4K 2D etc.) WITH ONLY ONE CARD. Titan X, although 30% faster than GTX 980 and 40% faster than 780 Ti, is incapable of doing exactly this. For all of the hoo-haw, Titan X is a failure in my book as you will still need 2x Titan X SLI to push 4K or 2.5K 3D Vision with all of the bells-and-whistles (i.e. "Ultra", SSAO, motion blur, tesselation, etc. etc. etc.)
When a card comes along that is 100% faster than GTX 980 / 780 Ti, Nvidia will have earned my praise and I may have to consider upgrading at that point in time (finances willing).
I don't believe this will happen on 28nm (Maxwell was SUPPOSED to be on 22nm).
The whole point here is that there are still many many games that have poor to non-existent SLI support and being able to still enjoy them with only one card would would be ideal.
For example, right now I have to disable 3D Vision and then enable G-Sync going back and forth between Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor and Titanfall, which I am both currently enjoying. Titanfall STILL doesn't have proper SLI support (I have it set to single GPU in Control Panel), the lights flicker through walls and there is moderate stuttering (even with G-Sync on) in 2D and your weapon, players, NPC's and Titans only render in one eye in 3D, along with abysmal performance (under-utilization, usually never exceeds 60% per card for whatever reason).
THE WHOLE POINT OF TITAN X IS TO PUSH GAMES WITH ONE CARD.
TITAN X CANNOT PUSH THE LATEST TITLES, LET ALONE CRYSIS 3 FROM 2012, ON ONE CARD (Avg. FPS 32).
Titan FAIL.

Perfect example of overblown and unrealistic expectations here. If everyone was expecting Titan X to be the endgame replacement for SLI, why are all the review sites posting up SLI benchmarks? Why are they all impressed by the power, and the worst thing they can generally say is "its expensive"?
Titan X is just the next "most powerful GPU in the world" in a long line of them stretching back to the original Geforce 256, but marketed squarely at enthusiasts.
It's not marketed as 1440p 3D ultra settings 60FPS capable card. By the time that card (Titan XX Ti Ultra SC edition?) arrives gaming will have moved on a few notches and the requirements increase again.
If you want 4K, or 1440p 3D you will have to look at SLI Titan X, or just accept that a single GPU solution just doesn't exist yet.

In the rather expensive quest for absolute 'no compromise' gaming, my rig's running on fumes and momentum only now. The more important thing here is looking for reasons to still try to enjoy gaming in true 3D going into the future. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but NVidia are not obliged to include stereoscopic 3D capability in any of their future cards, and a 980ti coming on to the market would be a completely academic event without any 3D Vision capability included. Such an event could be a more likely one if consumers of earlier cards do not insist on complete 3D functionality on earlier cards such as the Titan X.
Using an analogy from the movie Apollo 13, the flight controller is finally forced to ask "What have we got on the spacecraft that works?" Viewing this thing as a disaster as you do, the important thing would be to find out, what works. Titan X works with 3D on certain TV's/monitors. Next is making sure NVidia deliver in SLI, SLI scaling, and 3D in Surround. To me feedback right here, on the Titan's 3D performance, or lack of, counts for a lot, as they've made the big decision to part with their hard earned cash.
Intel Core i7 4770k @ 4.4Ghz, 3x GTX Titan, 16GB Tactical Tracer LED, CPU/GPU Dual-Loop Water-Cooled - Driver 331.82, DX11.0
Perfect example of overblown and unrealistic expectations here. If everyone was expecting Titan X to be the endgame replacement for SLI, why are all the review sites posting up SLI benchmarks? Why are they all impressed by the power, and the worst thing they can generally say is "its expensive"?
Titan X is just the next "most powerful GPU in the world" in a long line of them stretching back to the original Geforce 256, but marketed squarely at enthusiasts.
It's not marketed as 1440p 3D ultra settings 60FPS capable card. By the time that card (Titan XX Ti Ultra SC edition?) arrives gaming will have moved on a few notches and the requirements increase again.
If you want 4K, or 1440p 3D you will have to look at SLI Titan X, or just accept that a single GPU solution just doesn't exist yet.
