Questions about Shift 2 and Dirt 3 in 3D
Hi all,

I recently just purchased an Asus VG278H monitor. It'll be my first 3D monitor! Really excited to see what 3D is all about. From what I've read so far on here and other forums, racing games benefits a lot from 3D. I am planning on purchasing either Shift 2 or Dirt 3, but I hear Shift 2 does not work so well in 3D. Is this true? Or is there 3D support for Shift 2 now? Also, how is Dirt 3 in 3D? If you had the opportunity to play both in 3D, which one did you prefer?

If these two do not work so well in 3D, what other racing game titles do you suggest that is fun and supports 3D?

I read some of the suggestions for best/favorite 3d games on this forum and found some, but not many mentioned Shift 2 specifically, so any inputs would be appreciated!

I am pretty sure Dirt 3 is now perfect in 3D, there was a big thread about it here on Nvidia stickied for awhile and the results seemed overwhelmingl positive with the 3D Vision implementation: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=208031

Shift 2 I'm pretty sure does not have good 3D Vision support from what I remember when it came up for discussion during a few of the Origin sales. Shift 1 however I think was pretty good in 3D Vision with only a few minor issues. There is a playable demo for Shift 1 that you can check out.

In terms of other racing games, you can also check out GRID and Burnout Paradise (not really a racing game). I also believe the new NFS The Run is similar 3D Vision to Battlefield 3, nearly perfect 3D but locked Convergence. Personally I'm not that big on racing games, so sorry I can't give you a more definitive listing. I tried a bunch when I got a G27 racing wheel with 3D Vision and just ultimately walked away feeling underwhelmed. Now the G27 is collecting dust in a closet.

Dirt 3 is freaking awesome in 3D.
