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."

Everyone seems to have their panties in a wad about accelerated PhysX, which NVidia does on its video cards on PCs. Oh no, an added benefit that NVidia card owners get, boo hoo. Don't forget that ATi/AMD tried the same shit, and we'd be having accelerated Havok if they didn't fuck it up. Now they claim to be the good guys because they failed to get people to buy into accelerated Havok and are doing the open source accelerated physics.
Bing bing bing. And, as I said earlier, any of you that have played an Unreal Engine game have used PhysX. Same with Unity. It was Intel that tried to hardware accelerate Havok, though, with Havok FX. They bailed on it, deciding it wasn't worthwhile. Larrabee is part of that reason - they figured a GPGPU that can handle physics is better than some other solution. I agree. |
