NVIDIA/AGEIA Q&A [Feb 05, 2008, 11:18 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
NVIDIA AGEIA PhysX Acquisition Q&A on FiringSquad talks with NVIDIA's Derek
Perez about the acquisition of AGEIA, a fellow all-caps hardware company. He
uses the same "heterogeneous computing model" phrase used yesterday to announce
the move (story), an interesting take, since it sounds like they
plan to homogenize AGEIA's PPU onto their GPUs, saying "Physics is a natural for
processing on the GPU." As for existing stand-alone PhysX cards, he says: "We
will continue to support the current line of Ageia products that are on the
market today."
probably will...
how is it anyway ??
It works just fine, and for games that put it to work, the effect is astounding. The Phsyx enabled UT3 levels are a hoot to play, but no one is ever on those severs so, meh.
