I thought ANY 3d game worked
I was under the impression that 3D vision would at least try and work on any 3D game. However I have installed 2 new games, Amnesia the dark decent, and Gray Matter, and its not working? Am I setting something wrong? (Yes, I have tried the hotkey.)

They're openGL titles, 3D vision only works with DX9/10/11

Anything based on the Doom 3 engine also does not work. This includes, Quake Wars, Quake IV, and Prey.

Ok, that makes sence. Now, although it does make sense (two different technologies, and one (openGL) isn't designed to work with 3d vision)I have no idea what the difference is. Is there a place anyone can suggest I can go and read about it?
And, just to be sure I am on the right track, I notice some games have the option to use openGL OR DirectX. Does this mean if the game is set to openGL, I get no 3dVision, but if it is set to DX, I will?

I don't know any game that lets you use one or the other. Finding out which one a game uses isn't very easy, I'm afraid, since most folks couldn't care less. Google's your best bet, really.

But even if a game is DirectX 9 or higher, that doesn't mean it will work well enough to really use. You can check the NVIDIA control panel under 'Stereoscopic 3D' to get a pretty good reading on that but don't trust it with any game that's more than two years old. There are a lot of games that worked with the old technology 3D that do not work with 3D Vision and NVIDIA didn't take the time to re-evaluate games that they already rated with the old technology.

You can pop over to [url=http://www.solutiongaming.co.uk/]Solutions Gaming[/url], too. The list there isn't as comprehensive as NVIDIA's but it gives a lot more information about how well games work there.

Check out GLDirect Direct3D Device Driver. If you place the opengl32.dll file in the directory of any OpenGL program the 3D Vision will work (to varying degrees of success). I'm not sure if it works with the very latest OpenGL games, but for many of the older ones it runs well with full 3D support.
