Blackfire Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Can anybody explain me in short what is Physx? & Guys if ever Ati got PhysX will Ati give it to its existing 4800 series owners. i mean that is PhysX can be include as a software update or a driver update by ati later or it is a hardware thing.

Lavell Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I was going to ask a similar question. Does anyone has an AMD / ATI single or Crossfire setup with a Physx card? If so, how's the rendering of graphics as well as game performance? I really would like to know as I'm debating as to purchase a Physx card.

dj_budi668 Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 NVIDIA PhysX is a powerful physics engine enabling real-time physics in leading edge PC and console games. PhysX software is widely adopted by over 150 games, is used by more than 10,000 developers of all types and is supported on Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PC. PhysX is optimized for hardware acceleration by massively parallel processors. Link: http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_faq.html PhysX is developed by nVIDIA so i thinked, it would'nt be used in Ati Radeon. maybe ati will invent new software generation as same as PhsyX technology. Example like HONDA developed VTEC and TOYOTA developed VVTI. they are same technology but different in titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 PhysX is developed by nVIDIA so i thinked, it would'nt be used in Ati Radeon. nVidia is helping ATI get PhysX working on ATI GPUS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 r u taking abt this http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/07/09/nv...-to-ati-cards/1http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/physx-o...nd-from-nvidia/ then pls also read this http://www.ngohq.com/news/14219-physx-gpu-...-hd-3850-a.html ATI is not cooperating. That is something different. ATi is not cooperating with that becasue it is an individual user modifying and changing their software, which they do not like. That is not an "official" project, just something a very clever tweaker has cooked together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Nate Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 I thought nvidia bought Ageia earlier this year...and with that, they developed the PhysX support through the CUDA based graphics cards. I think you ATI guys might just have to wait and see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
