FFXIV 3D

[ArieOcean]

Well I am running 3dvision and everything is awesome but like others have said the only bummer is s3d only works in fullscreen so you cant alt-tab without crashing the game. Fine if you know what you are going to do all evening like ifrit battles but terrible if u are having a crafting day. Yes the UI is all 2d so it can be annoying watching the 3d polygons come through them.

You should launch the game using Steam, so you can play with 3Dvision (I have too, GTX470, etc...) and browse on the web with Shift+Tab, Steam command for switching to chat/web/etc mode. Really useful.

How ? Steam -> My Games -> add a non-steam game -> click on ff.

I didn't know steam could do that, thanks!

This is not true 3D Vision does work in windowed mode, just not with SLI enabled. To make sure it works go into the Nvidia Control panel and I think it is under Stereoscopic Settings. There is a drop down and turn it to Always run 3D. I am at work so I don't know the exact wording. I will try to update the post when I get home.

i apologize yes 3d vision works in windowed mode, but for me I use a projector and windowed 3d games often dont work or have issues. with ffxiv if i have it configured to windowed and run it in s3d then it automatically fullscreens it for me. thanks for the steam tip though just added it.

Work here with Nvidia 3D vision

Is very good, but if you play in full HD is a big pain for VGA.

I have a Gtx 590, and with general drawing quality to 8 (normal, DoF ON, AO off and 8x AA) i have constant 60 fps everywhere (not in uldah where i have 35-58)


I suppose that with a 580 or similar you can have same performace with 4x AA or wig general drawing to 7

With 3D on PC must render 2x image with full HD resolution (with quality 8) then setting lower value can work very very well (if you want to use full HD resolution)

3D+ general drawing quality 9-10--->NO WAY XD
