just for those who may have 3D set up and dont know this -:

Battlefield 3 Is Available, But No Stereoscopic 3D Support Yet.

The much anticipated game Battlefield 3 is now available, however it has turned out to be a bit of a disappointment for all the stereoscopic 3D gamers as initially the game does not have support stereoscopic 3D mode. I’m reminding you that the game’s developers have promised support for both Nvidia’s 3D Vision as well as AMD’s HD3D technology with the game engine actually doing the stereo 3D rendering (native 3D support). The problem is probably caused by the developers not being able to have the stereoscopic 3D support fully working, so it is not yet enabled in the final game, it should hopefully soon come via a patch to update the game.

Both AMD and Nvidia have been releasing beta drivers for a while to improve performance with Battlefield 3 as the game is quite demanding if you want to enjoy all the visual extras to the maximum. The latest Nvidia GeForce 285.62 drivers apparently already have a 3D Vision profile for the game giving it Excellent rating, but you are not going to be able to play it yet in stereo 3D mode. Currently when you run Battlefield 3 you are prevented from being able to activate 3D vision in it, a failsafe mechanism implemented by the game developers in order not to give false impression about what the gamers will get in stereo 3D mode when the official stereo 3D support becomes available. So for now you are stuck with playing the game in non-stereo 3D mode, but most of you can at least enjoy it with a 120 Hz refresh rate (if you have and use an active 3D solution such as 3D Vision).

The visuals provided by the Frostbite 2 engine used in Battlefield 3 are really impressive, provided that you have the hardware capable of running the graphics details maxed out. This however also opens the question about performance in stereoscopic 3D mode as with the game expected to natively support stereo 3D and not using “pseudo 3D” rendering similar to the one used in Crysis 2. So while waiting for the stereoscopic 3D support to become available, you may consider upgrading your computer’s performance and by that I mean it is probably time for a faster video card…
