What happened to 3DTV Play?
Wondering if any of you guys know what happened to 3DTV Play support for Geforce cards? My understanding was it was to become free with the latest drivers. I've had a Panasonic Veira 3d plasma for a long time now and was working my way through a terrible backlog of games before getting to the 3D stuff. I tried the trial of 3DTV play a year or so ago, and was very impressed. I never bought the licence though and when I read that as part of the dropping of support for 3D Vision Nvidia were making 3DTV play free I thought I'd made a good decision. Since the last drivers came out though, the option has completely gone to play games in stereoscopic 3D. Is that it? Because like an idiot I waited too long there is no way for me to play PC games in 3D anymore? Or am I missing something?

You need to install the 425.31 driver and stay on it. It is the last driver with support for any kind of 3D. 3DTV Play is included in it for free.

Ah right. Thanks for the info. They don't exactly make it clear do they? Why bother saying they're going to make 3DTV play free then in the next driver revision remove it altogether? So looks like I'll need to roll back to 425 and stop on there while ever I want to use 3DTV.

Perhaps it will only show up if you unplug your Nvidia emitter? Something might have screwed up when they converted it to free.

If running dual monitors disconnect the one which doesn't support 3DTV play via NVCP under display set up multiple displays if 3DTV play becomes available reconnect the other display.
