There is a video sample there too, but the audio cuts out halfway through for some reason. The original video is fine, so I can't explain it. I uploaded the video twice.

What I can’t get past for BioShock 2 in 3D I hear little on. Obviously not everyone is experiencing it, but artifacting. Not ghosting, not halos, not misplaced shadows or anything. I mean artifacting in, as I understand the traditional sense. Big grey polygons blinking and flashing on the screen as I look around. I stop looking around and don’t move and they aren’t there. I move the mouse around and they start popping and flashing. Also, the larger the room the more artifacts.
First, let me get this out of the way. It doesn’t do it in 2D and my temps aren’t high at all when it is doing it in 3D. I have tried different GPU and 3d driver combinations. I was able to minimize it a bit, but never make it stop, and unfortunately it is far to invasive to enjoy the game even when I have been able to lessen it.

I got 2 285s … and yah I keep them in SLi. Is this the problem. Honestly I haven’t troublshot this issue lately, but when I did the few people that also complained about it hadn’t figured anything out? Is SLi the problem?

Very interesting. Can you elaborate on the software and hardware you have running? Are you running FRAPS? Rivatuner? There might be something getting in the way with this.

No fraps, no riva tuner, no evga precision, no steam overlay (my copy isn’t a steam copy), no xfire overlay … nothing extra running what so ever. No temp monitors nothing. I have run it with temp monitors on to see if it was high temps causing artifacting but initially I didn’t have any on and the problem was there. I get the artifacts after a fresh boot with literally nothing running in the background except for the standard Microsoft services. Here is my exact setup.

I am pretty much the same with mista p except I have 6 gigs of ram, GTX 295 and the steam copy of the game. The artifacting does not occur if i turn off multi gpu support in the nvidia control panel.
There was a post on the 2K forums this morning regarding 3D vision and that they were aware of 3D vision related problems and hoping to fix them in the next patch. I hope they do because I loved Bioshock 1.

Agree with the article that DDD is a really good driver in Bioshock 2 but do not think Nvidia with a 295 (not enjoyable, covergance/bizarre artifacts) was better than iZ3D with a 5970 (quite playable some convergance difficulties). Do not blame Y2K for Nvidia's 3D failure they obviously made a good 3D game, it is a Nvidia support fault (another one) and one that defames Y2K for allowing Nvidia to fly a false public image (nvidia this, nvidia that crap) on its back.
Nvidia's Bioshock 2 3D hype is a disgrace like many other of their recent claims, lets hope Metro etc will prove their claims more reliable, but I personally would not count on it as any sense of integrity within Nvidia has obviously been disgarded and replaced by ruthless and unethical marketing ploys.

All I can say is what the f"#$!! I really am considering selling my 3d vision kit after reading this review. Nvidia cant get their s#$% together, new drivers being pulled for frying cards, no new 3d vision drivers for as long as I can remember, sammy tv support fails, and a lack of any fermi cards (not to mention $700 for a card, r u kidding me!). This company seems to be going down the drain quickly. Any one wanna buy a gtx 295 with a 3d vision kit?

I too am feeling like nVidia’s 3D Vision is getting dismal, but I hold on to one thing as a ray of hope. Fermi release is upon us and they are making noise with 3D Vision Surround. I am hoping that a lack of driver releases or profile updates or whatever it may be coming from nVidia is due to them dumping all of their resources into the Fermi launch and 3D Vision Surround. I can’t imagine they are pushing that technology with the Fermi release and will follow it with little to no support or updates. I mean sure they could hype it sell a bunch of glasses and then not support it and have a higher profit margin from each sale, but they won’t make a lot of money in the grand scheme of things because they won’t sell a high volume of kits. What’s more is I don’t think they are doing it to try and sell monitors either. I do still expect to see 3D Vision support increase with the official launch of 3D Vision Surround which I assume will coincide with the Fermi release since the Fermi is what will be the cards that are capable of the Surround part of things.
BTW, I did try to use just one GPU and that did seem to fix the artifacting (didn’t play for too long), granted I was getting fps dips into the 40s … I really shouldn’t complain about that as there are people that play in the 30s and are happy. Sadly, with everything all working right you just can’t get a lot of depth in BS2 with nVidia’s solution as the crosshair separate. I can play a low depth with some increase convergence and get a 3D feel, but its not as good of a 3D feel as say RE5 where you can crank the depth way up. I have to have it as low as it can go for BS2.
