Not natively in the drivers. It must be provided through 3rd parties. Upcoming drivers will add "hooks" that all facillitate this, but it'll still have to be provided by 3rd parties.
3D stereoscopic vision hasn't been on my "looking forward to" list since the late 90's early 2000's when I spent a few grand on various systems. Ultimately it was all wasted money. But it did show that even when it works well, there's some serious drawbacks. And new systems (past couple years) haven't done anything to change my mind.
Until there is no need for head mounted gear, it just isn't something I'm interested in.

If your products don't walk, make your marketing talk.
This is part of the "February" offense, there are still a few months to go before nvpr reaches overdrive.
You may want to remember those times better. The 7900 GTX was released AFTER the launch of the X1900 XTX (R580). The 7800 GTX 512 was the one that was launched soon after the X1800 XT, to spoil the already late launch of R520.
R520 wasn't that late (3 months), but R600 was released 7 months after G80.
That is a possibility, but bear in mind that there is a completely different motivation here: their products are late.
With the G80, for instance, it was in their best interests to keep the architecture completely and utterly secret until launch, because otherwise they would only serve to cut into their own sales as consumers held off buying cards.
But this time, by announcing early, they're hoping to cut into ATI's sales instead.
Now, I'm not saying that it's entirely unwarranted to think that the products may well not be that great, but all performance indications so far have been rather good. So we can be pretty sure it won't be a complete flop, at least.
No way. Nonono - 5800 and "Direct11 with fast Tessellation"?
Radeon's Tessellation is very slow

You're right. It was longer than I thought. Maybe because I bought my 7800 GTX in 2005, 2-3 months before the X1800 XT was actually released. So 5 months delay for R520.
Jawed said:
As I said, 7 months late.
That's 6 (6 calendar months and 6 days, from a quick check).
Oh, well, if it's not, I'm sure you could come up with a timing system where it does come out to 666...Hopefully it's not 6 months, 6 days and 6 hours when you posted that one, otherwise we're being administrated by Lucifer himself

Yes yes, I got my date from R520 -> G71 really wrong.
But you also got your dates a bit wrong. But I don't think Fermi is going to be quite the disaster that R600 compared to G80 was. Recent rumors paint it more similar to R520 (after 3 months of driver updates) compared to G70. Performance being fairly close, but launching so much later, with additional time to get the driver up to speed, basically lost all momentum to Nvidia.

The R520 was expected for May 2005.
