PC Games Hardware has a response from NVIDIA to
a recent statement by ATI that developers other than Epic use PhysX for physics "because they’re paid to do it." NVIDIA's Nadeem Mohammed, Director of Product Management, PhysX, who says: "we do not pay developers to select PhysX instead of other physics solution." He also states that PhysX is not proprietary, even though it obviously is, saying: "PhysX is a complete Physics solution which runs on all major platforms like PS3, XBOX360, Wii, PC with Intel or AMD CPU, and on the PC with GeForce cards; it even runs on iPhone. It's available for use by any developer for inclusion in games for any platform - all free of license fees. There's nothing restrictive or proprietary about that."

PhysX definitely makes Nvidia more attractive. Any Unreal Engine game should use it. Should. Of course, any Unreal Engine game will likely run better on Nvidia, anyway.
But after a few years of having the edge Nvidia's fallen out of the running. Or, rather, they had fallen out of the running, now they've completely quit. I still think Fermi has the potential to obliterate ATI. In theory. We'll see if theory becomes practicality or not. No denying they're betting a whole lot on this, and I'm very interested to see how it plays out.
Of course, by the time Fermi kicks into high gear we'll finally be seeing the second generation of Larrabee. Honestly, I'm still placing my bet there.
Right now you've really got ATI playing it safe and steady, and doing so extremely well, Nvidia taking some risks, and getting clobbered at the moment for it but praying for a huge payoff, and Intel doing some massively different stuff that I think the industry could really use. |
