This weekend, someone at Nvidia apparently leaked the beta drivers which enable PC 3D gaming on the new 3D TVs using 3D vision.
More info can be found here if you guys feel like reading forum threads (apparently you do since you are here reading this):

Even in the beta form, and considering the limitation of these TVs (720p resolution in 3D), the community seems to agree that it looks vastly superior to the PS3 3D games which have been released thus far.
Some interesting user posts:
"As far as how it looks? Surprisingly good after playing all of the Playstation games in 3D. The full 720p from my PC vs the PS3's downscaled resolution on a lot of stuff, made a big difference. It's not 1080p by any means, but I doubt most non-techies could tell or will care too much once you're in a game, in 3D. Compared to any Xbox or PS3 game, 3D or not, it's noticeably better (I sit pretty close to the screen too)."
"It has always been stated since 3D Play was announced that 720p @ 60Hz (each eye) and 1080p @ 24Hz are the only usable resolutions in 3D. This is a limit of the current 3D televisions and the methods they use for delivering 3D over HDMI."
"1080p @ 24 Hz in 3D will appear just as it does in 2D as far as perceptible framerates. There is no doubling or 48Hz or whatever possible. This mode is designed for blu-ray playback and not gaming. You might be able to play a game at those settings, but 24frames/second does not translate well to gaming at all."
Looks like PC users that also own the new 3D TV's may finally have something else to do with their investment, other than watch monsters vs aliens for the 20th time and play Wipeout HD. :)
