New Games Using NVIDIA PhysX

Post by Apoptosis »

NVIDIA has been pushing PhysX and it seems game developers are finally starting to listen as over the last two weeks alone, they have announced the following titles with PhysX support:

Shattered Horizon
Bionic Commando
APBc
Cryostasis
Backbreaker
Aliens: Colonel Marines
Nurien
Metal Knight Zero
Divinity 2: Ego Draconis
And, the inclusion of PhysX technology in Emergent’s Gamebryo game engine, the world’s second largest game engine next to Unreal Engine 3.

I installed some of those Physx demos and they all ran like crap at 1600x1050. I don't think PhysX on the graphics card is going to be a huge deal when it comes to graphics. It is still filtering all of your processing power through the same hardware.

It was interesting Colonial Marine didn't show up at all this E3.

I'd been considering a PhysiX card on my next system build but this seems to make me thing Proc and GPU are still teh deciding factors. Which makes the choice easier for me as an ATI fan. I was considering jumping ship this next box but knowing the PPU isn't being used extensivly yet is good to know.
