:lo: this is funny :lol:

Physx is hardware accelaration for all intents and purposes. That is the entire point. Without hardware accelaration it is no better than Havok or any other physics engine. The entire point of Physx is that it can run off a dedicaded card (or a GPU with CUDA) rather than a CPU.

Yes, but the entire strength of Physx stems from its ability to hardware accelarte. There isnt anything in Physx that cant theoreticlly be achieved through Havok. But running hardware accelaration under physx gives you a huge performence booast which actually lets you implement all these features that could not be done before.

Edit: Linkified.

But let's just end this discussion by saying: let's wait and see the actual results.

[QUOTE="darkfame"][QUOTE="cobrax75"]

you really have no clue what your talking about. Physx can either be hardware or software accelarated. Hardware accelaration is going to give you far stronger results, but it requires a PPU or GPU with CUDA support.

you really dont get it at all....the entire point of Physx is that its handled through an independent card, and not the CPU...the PS3 does not have the ability to hardware accelarate Physx. In order to do that you either need a 8800 card or above, or a dedicaded PPU card. The PS3 has neither.

uh no...your not even close.

when Nvidia bough Physx, it gained the ability to run on Nvidia GPU's that had CUDA functionallity (any gaming card 8000 series or higher). and by doing so, they made the standalone PPU's obsolete.

In order to take advantage of the entire range of Physx features, it needs to be hardware accelarated.

Thats why all the Physx demos and games out there require you to be able to hardware accelarate Physx (duh)

seriously though, stop making stuff up.

[QUOTE="darkfame"]That was the point of PhysX when it was owned by Ageia, until nVidia bought it. But I forgot this is SW...... not much to gain discussing anything here.loco145

[QUOTE="darkfame"][QUOTE="loco145"]Red Steel uses PhysX :o

to bad the PS3 cant hardware accelarate it, making this entire thread pointless and misleading.

What makes it misleading is PhysX software acceleration has been available on the PS3 for well over a year, Unreal Tournament 3 uses PhysX.

Yet here now they are announcing it on PS3.
