Cool, I'm so going to try that.

Great feedback, this will help me decide how to build my new system. Was hoping FFXIV supported Native 3D already, but unfortunately it still doesn't. Thanks.

Nvidia 3D Vision has native support for FFXIV, the game actually has Nvidia's highest rating for 3D. I play using Nvidia's 3D surround and the game looks fantastic. I use two GTS 450s in SLi on moderate settings.

For those that need proof that Nvidia officially supports 3D in this game, check the patch notes for Nvidia's 260.99 drivers. (The official list of supported games on nvidia's site hasn't been update in months)

are there any software solutions for the ATI cards? (to play it in 3D)

yes just depends on which you want to do and which way you wanted to go. you have 2 options with about 2-3 ways they can be implemented. 1 ---> iz3d or 2 ---> Tridef those are the two companies you can go through to do 3D on an ATI card and each you can use a specific setup to your liking 1 --> 3D shutter glasses and a compatible 120hz monitor
2--> 3D shutter glasses and a compatible projector 3--> a compatible 3DTV with its own brand of 3D glasses and a 4th option if your lucky to find them an passive polarized monitor(zalman monitor, iz3d monitor) <--- hard to find nowadays.
europe seems to have the newer zalman monitors that do 1080p but they cost a pretty penny almost as much as the first 2 choices.

FFXIV looks GREAT with nvidia 3d vision.
The later drivers, like January 2011 and higher, support it as a 3D-Ready game.
it's one of the best looking games, although you will take a severe FPS hit, like 20 fps or more drop.

I play the game with Nvidia 3D Vision and it is Amazing I love it. The only problem I have is that it would be really great if we could play the game in windowed mode instead of full screen. You can play WoW that way, it is just something that Nvidia needs to set up and I am not sure why they haven't yet.

I never bought into the whole 3D thing. I'd rather the film industry focus on super high resolutions instead. Call me old fashioned, but I think I prefer films stay in 24 FPS and not move to 60 like Dr. Cameron wants. Oh well, I don't the kind of power in the film industry like I do in the FFXIV industry.

Edit: I do support this type of 3D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw

i installed the iz3d driver and tried t play it with the red/cyan glasses...

Can someone share the setting? I am not happy with the results.

cheers

3d looks decent on this game, as others have posted it is not fully supported yet.
