Anyway, I highly respect the PhysX card for what it has done for the computing industry. Look at it beyond the "omg an extra 2 fps in my games!" point of view. Ageia started the trend of offloading tasks from the CPU to the GPU. THis is something that was possible, but ever thought of until they came along. All the graphics companies are supporting their own separate physics engines to be hardware accelerated. Nvidia has (and owns) PhysX, ATI is backing Bullet, and Intel has Havok. Now the real fun innovation in graphics technology is the Lucid Hydra chip. stuff is going to rock my world. |
| General Nick:
Whoa, Hydra looks awesome! Yeah, PhysX definitely did do a lot in the computing industry. Also for your enjoyment, "You stupid jew its nvidia stfuomfg" |
| MtnDew:
Holy forget, Hydra is the future :D |

I just got a 42" CRT monitor. That's an issue that can use it's own topic to explain though. I've been driving for 13 hours today so I will make it tomorrow. |
