[QUOTE="mrbobbster"]

I did, I see some very cool 3D Vision stuff, including games and tons of community info and comments (see Forum link below). I don't understand your point at all. Here is the link to the Nvidia 3D Vision User Forum:

So what's your point?

Cheers :)

my point is that I'm a regular of that forum (and one of the very few 3D vision users posting here as well); if you have anything to say about my "shilling for competitions," we can have this conversation over there.

and we can also talk about what I and many others mean by Nvidia's pulling plug off 3D vision; 3D vision is amazing currently more due to great PC gaming community (leading by Helix) instead of Nvidia.

Your statement about Nvidia pulling the plug on 3D Vision would easily cause prospective customers to decide not to consider 3D Vision for their gaming rig. If I was looking for 3D for my gaming system and saw your post saying Nvidia is pulling the plug on 3D Vision it may convince me to look to other companies for my 3D capabilities. If that is your intent then mission well done.

Thats why I decided to post, to correct your comment, to make sure people realize Nvidia 3D Vision is a great product currently being supported both in games and Nvidia drivers. YES it has problems, all 3D solutions have problems, but I feel it is one of the best 3D systems there are. Heck, I work in civil engineering and our photogrammetry department uses Nivida 3D Vision for compiling topographic mapping. 3D Vision has been around a long time and I have used it since day one. I am very impressed by the improvement I see as I now use 3D Vision 2. I do not see any indication that Nvidia is dropping 3D Vision or pulling the plug in any way. I do expect technology will change and someday 3D Vision tech will become obsolete, but that wont happen anytime soon.

I think it is really easy to get caught up with fellow forum posters as they rant about real problems with products and software. I get it, I have done the same thing quite a few times. But if your post here on Gamespot is similar to what you post elsewhere, then you might reconsider what you are trying to do and what you are communicating to other people. If you want Nvidia to be better and you actually enjoy using it, then you might try being more constructive in what you say. But by simply telling the world that Nividia is pulling the plug on 3D Vision is damaging to the 3D Vision product, misleading to readers of your posts and will only result in lost sales and less resources available for solving problems.

Personally I want 3D Vision to be as successful as possible, so demand will drive quality and support. Bashing Nvidia and indicating 3D Vision is a dying product will not help, it wont encourage Nvidia to do anything, it will only discourage people from buying it.

So that is why I posted. Again if the purpose of your post was to hurt Nivida 3D Vision and discourage people from buying it, mission well done.

Cheers :)

go to Nvidia official 3D vision forum and call me "shilling for the competition" again.

just answer the question: why does Nvidia promote 3D visoin with a game, Borderlands 2, they rate as 3D vision "not recommended"?

My comment was to correct your statement that was flat out wrong and could easiliy give people the impression 3D Vision is on the way out, which it is NOT. Your post was incorrect and I felt it was very important to point that out. Damaging statements like that are not helpful to anyone.

As for your question, I have no idea, I don't work for Nivida and I simply cannot know. But I will say that Borderlands 2 is a great 3D Vision game, that was a very nice surprise, I love BL2 and now using 3D Vision, playing it a 3rd time is a real treat. I imagine Nvidia has some checklist of criteria they use to rate 3D Vision in games. My guess is there are things about BL2 that causes the "Not Recommended" rating to be assigned. Either that or they messed up.

Cheers :)

Nvidia has stopped supporting 3D vision for a long while now. currently Borderlands 2 is rated "not recommended", the false advertising you've seen is only an attempt to grab cash from potential 3D vision customers (it seems there still are).

in other words, do not expect any useful 3D vision fix/patch/update from Nvidia.

Huh? Since when did Nvidia stop supporting 3D Vision? Do you have some official statement or are you just shilling for the competition? From all indications 3D Vision is fully supported/updated in the latest driver release. I personally use a 3D Vision2 Surround system and love it and find Nvidia to be fully supporting and updating the latest drivers for the latest games.

Anyone who browses the Nvidia site will find that Nvidia is promoting, updating drivers and supporting 3D Vision as they always have. Read through the latest driver release notes, 3d Vision profiles are being added which certainly indicates Nividia IS supporting 3D Vision. So I suggest you reconsider the valildity of saying Nvidia stopped supporting 3d vision or reply with solid proof. Maybe you dislike Nividia or 3D Vision, that's too bad, but blatantly making inaccurate statements doesn't help anyone.

I think 3D Vision (and now 3D Vision 2) is the best 3D around and Nvidia has always done a great job of supporting/updating 3D Vision in games IMHO.

So read through the latest driver release notes and please indicate where it shows Nvidia "stopped supporting 3D vision for a long while now". Otherwise readers of this thread should realize Nvidia and 3D Vision are still one of the best 3D systems around.

Cheers :)

I have a similar problem with buying Power between two cities I have Claimed/Created. I can buy power from a city with plenty to sell, but I can't by enough even to cover my shortage/usage even though the city I am buying from has plenty of extra power to sell. The problem is the city in need only buys a small amount (about 1/4 of their demand) and it won't change UP to the actual amount needed to cover power usage. It seems to be a bug, no matter what I did (stopped buying, then started buying again) or how long I waited the amount purchased stayed at a very low amount, far lower than what the city needed. I ended up just putting more power plants in the city in need.

I don't know if this is completely related to the OP's issue, but it seems to be a glitch in the Inter-City Trading/Resource system.
