I love this demo, very impressive - still not exactly stable (don't touch it for about a minute and you'll start to see the fluid elements go screwy - looks like rain) but very nice. With in mind there are a few points: We have yet to see this fluid model interact with an object...

Except ntune still likes to see an nforce motherboard - I can't install it, so no overclocking goodness or temp monitoring for me :( Oh well - rivatuner's better anyway.

I think I love you. Or at any rate I love the card I bought off you... :D

Well it's been a while. We've all waited for stuff to come out. And waited. And waited. So lets review whats happened in Hardware Physics: 1. Ageia brought out the PPU about 6 months late 2. Ageia Proposes to bring out a PCIe version of PPU "Within months" (Eng. samples had dual...

Careful, the HavokFX portion of its API is hardware accelerated, and unfortunately the 7 series won't do anything for that either - nVid seem to have abandoned that idea, and relegated it to the G80 instead. ATi is still pushing the x1*** series as physics capable, but no drivers or apps as yet...

There's a limit on the number of actors in a hardware scene because of driver overheads when types of actions are combined (RBC's, joints/fluids etc.). From what I can tell it was done more as a "failsafe" to make sure devs didn't over-egg the cake so to speak - as most games developed during...

No, he's not. He's just stating that perhaps 280 is a bit OTT for what is, at the end of the day, an NIC. That's his opinion and he does make some good points - integrated NICs are far beyond what they used to be. That won't stop me buying one - because of the other things it can do...

Sigh. I like it. I like it a lot - time to buy that ExATA board I was looking at... Too many good ideas for add-in cards these days! What they need to do with the KNIC though (IMO) is give it a removeable ethernet chipset - so that when 10gbps comes along mainstream you could just upgrade the...

Actually it's the games that have the engines, and PhysX has multicore support for both xb360 and PC.

The paper on the home website says they used a Tablet PC - I can really see it being cool for that... But for the desktop, yes and no - depends how well they tweak the interface really. Oh btw everyone - go to the web page and read the papers, they're quite interesting!

Dude - it was an example :P

I really think he only does it because loads of people come back with the same stuff again and again... There's no denying that after repeatedly saying the same thing you get annoyed and confused as to why the heck people are still coming back and insisting on what someone else said earlier...

You may want to edit the questions a little. I found it useful now and worth 300 for the tinkering appeal - fruits will be landing shortly :) But I don't think it's useful for EVERYONE now - just niche for the second. Other people, I am sure, are going to put out their "for everyone" views...

It is done without the PPU (still uses PhysX), if you could chuck your entire filesystem onto it, it might benefit a little from one :)

Issues addressed :) THG layed into GRAW for all those reasons and then stated the PPU's probably pointless because all Havok games will take advantage of HFX. Which is, er, wrong? Incorrect? Inaccurate? Wouldn't be the first time for THG. A review should report the facts, examine the...
