wat is nVidia PhysX actually? today i realised it installed on my comp... wonder that is that.. coz im using ATI...

I don't see there is any reason to get another Geforce card for Physx unless you have a spare one. So far I don't see any significant impact with PhysX in any game... mirror edge is nice but you kinda forget it is there after a few hours of gameplay.

Cryostasis is forgettable also... boring game... zzz

physic processing unit...

ATi cards can do GPU folding way loooong time before NV.
X1000 series
btw, anyone remember this? read

ADD: anyway it's different from NV's PhysX.

that technology is far abandoned to for physics, seems like its forgotten by time.

anyone try use sli on crossfire board b4? if plug 2 nv card wat will happen?

physics card driver?? means ageia driver?

if like tat never tried b4.

u still can use the sli gc but cannot do crossfire with other gc

even 8400gs has physX. Early G80 doesnt have physX, but after driver updates, it can be used as physX card.

SLI cannot be done on a CF board unless you are super pro that you know how to hack it. You can put 2 nv cards though, one as gpu and one as ppu.

it is not that they don't have physx. they just don't have capability to run cuda programming..

yea, thanks for fixing the sentence

physx is 4gettable...yes it is. But i tot all 8series card capable of handling cuda?

@Terence573,

Try the link below.

NVidia Phsyx driver

Let us know the result.

is it too bad just let the cpu do the job?

OIC is this one.
installed but also won't detect the geforce.
bad luck then....done in vista 64bit.

GPU manufactures are very clever making people to buy more than 1 card to get performance,As i know that ATI uses Havoc ann nvidia uses physx

Personal thought, waiting for ATI to implement Havoc using GC. Mind as well, wait for DirectX 11 that utilize Computer Shader (Similar to OpenCL) in next generation card. (RV870 and GT300).

With Intel owning Havoc now. It is gonna be hard to bring all Physic processing off CPU entirely. Havoc is still leading Physx now in terms of no of games support.

that one Havok...and they still developing it (last month they(amd) show it to public in order to counter the loud brought by nvidia)

Nope..you are wrong there

Physx -GPU can only be render by Nvidia and ageia ppu card

but Havok can be render by ati and nvidia card (and any graphic card that support opencl). Its a absolute win solution for end-user..

Technology has to start somewhere
Havok is a very basic, basic, basic form of physics compared to physX
