Future of 3D Vision Support (Official announcement from NVIDIA)
13 / 42
Driver 419.35 is Release 419.35 of driver BRANCH 418.
Branch 418 is the last to have 3D Vision driver.
They will never release their 3D Vision Automatic source code as that is proprietary IP.
The best we can hope is to release the 3D Vision controller driver and parts of the driver (as a module) so we can install it as a standalone driver, next to the regular Geforce Driver, so we can use the glasses + monitor + emitter later (but without 3D Vision Automatic all the DirectX 9/11 fixes so far will not work).
Which is a shame really...
So, yeah. EOL! :(
Looks like we will be stuck on 418 Branch from now on.
Also, is not the end of the world, just yet... Time to stock up on 2080Tis and SLI now :P
Edit:
I also hope they will not kill this forum and still keep it around, as there is a lot of information around this 10 years old sub-forum.

Shame on Nvidia fort abandonning 3D vision...
I have an 2080 ti with Oled LG C6V + Asus PG278QR and it is amazing in 3D vision.
I use an HTC Vive Pro too.
I don't undersant why Nvidia doesn't use 3D vision for VR for having a big screen and play all 3D vision games in VR... It could be a nice argument.
Anyway, if kickstarter i am in ! And i hope Nvidia would release 3D vision open source...

I'm in to help with a kcikstarter.
I literally just got 3D vision last weekend. Only reason why I bought a 1080 Ti. Only reason I bought Nvidia.
Argh this makes me so sad. I was hoping to play Cyberpunk in 3D.

"Update 3/11 6:55PM ET: NVIDIA told Engadget in a statement that the decision reflected a shift in priority to "newer technologies" like VR. You can read the full statement below.
"We have seen the industry and our user base move to newer forms of immersive experiences such as Virtual Reality, and are focusing our driver support on these newer technologies. We are proud to have supported 3D Vision for over 10 years, which launched at CES way back in 2009.""[/quote]
Wait... Some games with "VR". Like Senua are just 3rd Person in stereoscopic 3D... If they adapted 3D vision they could say like work with Bo3b and Darkstar Sword and be like
Nvidia VR Technology works with
VRLegacy - Works with Hundreds of Games from the past! But no headtracking
VR- whatever the hell it is now.
I'm probably thinking really scattered. But I don't see why they don't just evolve 3Dvision technology into VR, and also support 3D for people that had it previously.
Maybe the driver remnants for timing with 3Dvision is getting in the way of their "Low" Latency VR technology. O.o

That's for sure. Some fairly positive reactions in the responses, too.

Did they pull the original forum info into this one? I remember the old forums went down and didn't show up again for several months. (And then didn't work very well. Heck, they still don't work very well.)

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views ... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.
Wow. I must admit I feel a bit gutted. This is very disappointing news.
I agree with others that NVidia showing off things like raytracing is quite underwhelming: It's kinda neat, but really doesn't pack the punch, the wow-factor, of watching something in 3D. So it seems odd to me that they focus on those tiny details that are kinda neat, rather than the big, impressive things like 3D.
One of the first and most impressive experiences I had with 3D Vision was Just Cause 2, with explosions and debris flying in your face. It was undeniably awesome, and the people I showed it to were all quite impressed (but none of them actually bought a 3D monitor). I am now quite annoyed that one day relatively soon I won't be able to revisit that experience. The film Avatar was intended to be viewed in 3D, and it is a shame that future audiences will not be able to experience it as intended. I am always concerned with future-proofing things, having backups and making sure things will last into the future, and I thought a big company like NVidia was gonna have my back on this one.
Having an open source version of 3D Vision would go a long way toward future proofing, so that definitely has my vote. There is certainly a vibrant community behind 3D. But aside from the software there is the hardware: Is there a way to hack almost any computer display to show some kind of 3D? Maybe highjacking its refresh rate to match up to glasses, or using a lenticular or passive polarising sheet covering the screen?
Seems probably quite tricky to do. One thing I liked about 3D Vision was that it just worked out of the box (most of the time, with some glitches here and there - but that's why Helix Mod comes to the rescue!).
Maybe I'll have to migrate to VR for 3D gaming. I tried it but it is currently very low res and blurry in comparison to the crisp, sharp 3D image of my 3D monitor (and the headset gets very hot and sweaty in summer, so not as convenient).
I was hoping that 3D would just become normal: C'mon, holograms are the future we were promised! Surely, I thought 3D displays were an inevitable technological advancement? Maybe it was the inconvenience of the glasses. I wonder why we never saw the commercial release of all those lenticular 3D TVs that companies were showing off years ago. I was originally holding off on getting 3D, assuming those glasses-free displays were just around the corner, until I finally gave in.
Very disappointing. Let me know if there is some way to help future-proof and keep the awesomeness of 3D alive. I'll take a look at the patreon.

It's ironic they drop support, when Windows 7 finally begins to receive DirectX 12 support for specific games. Unfortunately always will need the latest Game Ready Driver for this.

Yes, this! The story is creeping up in more and more places. Unfortunately it's mainly generating the same ignorant comments from 3d haters. At least it's riding on the general wave of anti-nvidia sentiment since the RTX cards were released.
I've been away on holiday so haven't really thought through a response to the announcement, except to say that the absolute best starting point has to be for Nvidia to open source the drivers. I can understand why they might be reluctant though.
We can work around hardware issues etc. but open source would make everything much easier. There still might be issues with anti-cheat software etc. but we were having to deal with that anyway since we were already using 3rd party software to fix the majority of games.

There is absolutely no reason I can really see to have a high end graphics card at this point without the tech that needs it. How much FPS do you need exactly? Personally for most games 60fps is a good enough base. The only reason I've needed it for years is because my computer has been rendering two copies of the scene at the same time!
Is it that hard to maintain the Stereo Driver Nvidia?
At least release it too the Guru's here to let it be used stand alone without official support.
Then I will have a reason to keep upgrading my gaming configuration.
Oh well I guess I'll be saving a lot of money, instead of it going into your pockets otherwise....

We can still play our old games in 3D vision?
This applies to the next new drivers that will come out?

Let's say that the latest nvidia driver for example the 419.35 to 3d vision technology
it will be enough to work the next games of 2020 - 2021 etc ... in order to make them compatible with this driver with the fix or mods as it is already the case here with games which are not 3d vision.
I hope I made myself understood ....: o)

I've wondered if Nvidia's drop for support was partly due to direct mode for HMDs and conflicts with the inclusion of the stereo drivers. Though this problem has mostly been solved from what I've read.
Also, I kind of wonder if there is something coming down the pipes from Microsoft, that prompted this action from Nvidia. Microsoft is determined to push Windows Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality and they work closely with Nvidia.
Or perhaps Nvidia is moving to a forced/mandatory inclusion of the GeForce Experience in all driver installs. Along with a mandatory log-in to use any Nvidia discrete GPU. Go immediately from the Windows log-in to the GPU log-in :P So it might be a "get on board" or "stay behind" scenario.
