PhysX

Will ATI make an alternative chip set for Nvidia-PhysX?

Re: PhysX

There are rumors floating around that ATi will support both Nvidia's PhysX and Intel's Havok.

Overclock3D.Net :: News :: ATI falls for PhysX

It is likely ATi will do it on the GPU. If PhysX support becomes meaningful in games I am fairly sure they won't ignore it.

Re: PhysX

So this means that current ATI cards could do that with a new set of drivers?

Re: PhysX

Will it be available only on a new generation cards using a PPU or will it be a GPU-Driver solution?

Re: PhysX

if its implemented into hardware then yea and if not then driver change probably will work

Re: PhysX

My guess is GPU-driver solution, or that is current cards and later should be able to do it.

If you recall they got PhysX to work in Vantage a while ago on ATi cards-
