Not quite... The GeForce2 chipset is made by nvidia, but the card was manufactured by another company.

For example, my GeForce 3 Ti200 has an nVidia GF3 GPU, but the card was manufactured by Gainward.

That sounds amazingly cool!
I get a pretty bad frame rate when I play FS2 though, so I'm not gonna try it. It'll probably end up being worse than it already is.

Its a feature that only tends to be on Asus and some high end Hercules cards. As for the Hud being out of alignment, I fixed that by playing around with the settings in the stereo control panel.

(Bear in mind if you switch stereo on, you halve your frame rate)

Greetings ltnarol.

We're talking three dimensional here, as in holographic, as in the space ships fly out of your two dimensional monitor screen between the screen and your eyes, as in the space ships fly behind your two dimensional monitor screen between your wall and the screen. Stereo vision would be another term for it.

And it looks like Lazarus got it working with FreeSpace properly.

How's it working for you Lazarus? What video card are you using? What CPU are you using and how much ram?
