Does 3D Vision work with GTX295 using both gpus or just one?

Hi!
I need to confirm that it uses both cores before I go ahead and upgrade my gtx280.
Thanks

It will work with 2 GPUs. But will not work 3 or 4 currently.

I am using one and it works great.

doesn't work in Tri-SLI or Quad.

The games will work/run but the cards won't be used. The most demanding games Crysis and Stalker Clear Sky have lots of post processing effects issues with 3dvision anyway. So a SLI or GTX295 should be fine but you have to lower or even disable AA if you like 60fps on certain other games in 3d.

On a quad or 3 Way SLI setup. 3D Vision reverts back to a single GPU. On a standard SLI system. You'll get multi GPU acceleration.

With 3 Way and 4 Way? They have been working on it. Just taking them forever.

So the only way to get my 3D to run in at least 2-way-SLI is to remove my ribbon cable from quad-SLI?

Actually you have to take the second GPU out for it to work properly. I "know" I have been on Nvidia case about this for months now.

I suppose or HOPE that a GTX295 with a 9800gtx + for physx wont be an issue right?

I hope that isn't an issue, because I have GTX 280's in SLI and a 9600 GT for PhysX, and I would be pissed to find out that I haven't been running games in SLI using 3D Vision all this time. That's the reason I got the second GTX, because running games in regular 2D on a 1680x1050 screen isn't all that demanding.

It would not be. No.
