The designer, developer and innovator of advanced stereoscopic 3D visualization systems, iZ3D Inc., has announced that its recently released 3D monitor driver Version 1.09 includes for the first time support for AMD with an ATI 3D DLP output.

IZ3D has decided to promote the use of ATI Radeon graphics cards for 3D game play, and it announced offering all ATI Radeon graphics card users that acquire an iZ3D monitor a $50 rebate. ATI Radeon owners can complete a simple online form and submit it to iZ3D in 30 days upon installing the iZ3D monitor and driver, and they will be offered the rebate this way. The rebate will be promoted with ATI Radeon graphics card packages online and in-store at select retailers.

“We appreciate the visual experience and excitement that is driving the trend towards 3D graphics,” said Godfrey Cheng, director of technical marketing, graphics products group, AMD. “3D gamers, designers and home theater enthusiasts will appreciate the sophistication that the ATI Radeon series of graphics cards will bring to the world of 3D. Our cards enable a feature-rich, 3D gaming and home theatre experience, especially when used in conjunction with an iZ3D 22-inch widescreen 3D display solution.”

The 3D stereoscopic monitors, glasses, and software offered by iZ3D come with a lot of advantages compared to other 3D display systems. The gaming experience can be greatly leveraged when playing in stereoscopic 3D, while graphics artists can choose the iZ3D monitor as the perfect tool for 3D designs. Watching a 3D movie at home can be much more pleasant as well.

“We’re on a mission to bring 3D into the mainstream. Combining the blazing fast speeds and breathtaking graphics from a high-end ATI Radeon graphics card with savings on your own personal iZ3D 22-inch widescreen monitor and get a gateway to the world of 3D. AMD’s selection of iZ3D’s stereoscopic 3D display solution demonstrates their vision and understanding that the future of graphics is a fusion of great hardware and software. iZ3D is a true pioneer in developing great 3D imaging drivers and hardware for the gaming community," remarked Thomas Striegler, CEO of iZ3D Inc.

The iZ3D driver supports DirectX PC games and works with 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. Since there are a lot of game titles released during the recent five years designed for 3D displays, gamers will finally be able to play them as they were developed.

The iZ3D 22-inch monitor can be purchased from online retailers at a suggested price of $399. More information on the offer can be found on 3D Rulez or iZ3D. The driver is available for download on Softpedia as well, via this link.
