NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround Driver Launch Delayed
Tom Petersen over at NVIDIA announced this morning that they are still working on the NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround drivers for GeForce video cards. It sounds like running games on 3 panels with two video cards is a tad tougher than first thought. The new target date for 3D Vision Surround is the end of June in a follow-on release of the Forceware Release 256 driver branch. Legit Reviews had a chance to sit down with Tom Petersen back in January where we saw a demo of 3D Vision Surround and we know he must be bummed about the delay.
I have been talking to a lot of our customers over the last few months and many of the most enthusiastic among them are asking when we’ll have our driver update to support 3D Vision Surround. We’re also get the same inquiries from press folks looking to do reviews of 3D Vision Surround. The fact is we are not ready yet the surround driver needs some final improvements. When we first showed this technology live at CES in January, we expected this to become available with the first release of our 256 branch driver which was then targeted for April. Our new target for 3D Vision Surround is the end of June in a follow-on release of this 256 driver branch. Our first 256 based driver is planned to post to nvidia.com on May 24th and will enable new SLI setup controls and improve performance on several key applications for GTX 400 GPUs. When we launch the 3D Vision Surround driver at the end of June, we will provide a game list and guidance on how to get the best experience with this cool new technology.
