NVIDIA to kill 3D Vision support in April

Posted on Monday, March 11 2019 @ 10:49 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

Many years ago, NVIDIA introduced 3D Vision, a technology that delivered stereoscopic 3D images. This feature required the use of 3D goggles and never really became a smashing hit. NVIDIA send out a notice late last week that 3D Vision support will come to an end in April 2019.

The final driver from the GeForce 418 driver branch will be the last to support 3D Vision. NVIDIA will continue to provide security updates for this driver until April 2020.

Following the posting of the final driver from Release 418 in April 2019, GeForce Game Ready Drivers will no longer support NVIDIA 3D Vision. The NVIDIA support team will continue to address critical driver issues for 3D Vision in Release 418 through April, 2020. Those looking to utilize 3D Vision can remain on a Release 418 driver.

Our software that enables the use of 3D gaming with 3D TVs, 3DTV Play, is now included for free in Release 418. It is no longer available as a standalone download. Our 3D Vision Video Player will continue to be offered as a standalone download, for free, until the end of 2019.
