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."

Anyone who has played the official PhysX pack for UT3 or the game Warmonger knows that the potential for accelerated physics in games is great. However, so long as PhysX runs like crap on anything but higher-end Nvidia cards and Nvidia doesn't even allow its cards to be used alongside AMD/ATI cards in the same PC, PhysX will die out just like Glide did.
Unless Nvidia opens up PhysX then Microsoft's DirectCompute will be the winner of the GPU physics API wars. |
