Anyone out there with a PPU try the GRAW demo?

Like the title says, have any of the few of you that have your PPUs already tried the GRAW demo? Are there in game physics settings? What are your thoughts? Shiny pics?

Thanks.

Sorry no not me.

But after trying the demo LOL I'm not spending $300 bucks to buy a ppu card for this game.
LOL its not worth it.
I'll still buy the game though but not a ppu card for it sorry.

I'm getting one as soon as I can get my hands on the PPU.

A friend of mine in another board posted his comments after downloading the demo. Right after he uninstalled it. It was too consolish and wasn't anything like ghost recon at all.

I don't think the OP cares much about whether or not people like the game so much as whether or not having a PPU made a big difference.

There is a $300 "only works with GRAW" edition ppu?

Its been tested at ocuk forums, and the results are not to great.

1st scene without ppu = 46fps
1st scene with ppu = 30fps

2nd scene without ppu = 34 fps
2nd scene with ppu = 24 fps

The link, with a picture of each scene is here http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sho...php?t=17568825

In the end the user turned off his ppu so he could play the game with a smooth framerate. Now he might not have top of the range hardware, but a 7800GTX, is a lot more powerfull than what most of the gaming population are using at the moment. Hopefully this isnt a sign of things to come, otherwise just to be able to use the PPU , your going to need to have the most powerfull GPU available or a SLI setup. Which 99% of people are not going to do

Kudos to lowrider007 for testing.

those screenshots are laughable...looks like tiny bits flying all over the place. for $200-250, f that.

Those screens were really unimpressive.

The framerate drop is unacceptable as well..

I think I just heard Ageia bite the dust

In case any were too lazy to step over to the link

The game was running at

16 X AF
No AA
1280x1024
All settings on Max

His system

P4 3.4@3.6
2GB Ram
7800GTX
PhysX PPU

Looking like a 35-40% drop in FPS (too lazy to calculate)

When he had the PPU off, he recorded fps while staring at a wall. He then tested the game with a PPU while staring into open ground with large-scale destruction. That is a piss-poor way to compare IMO. Go turn on a FPS and stare at a wall, you will see your fps go up a lot. Then go stare at some large-scale destruction over open ground.

What the hell are you talking about.....go take a look again

He compares two scenarios, one where there are particle effects from shooting at a wall and the second where where a car is blown up, both with and without the PPU.

Seems like the most logical way to test the performance of a PPU

Goodbye ageia, you were fun.

Weird how ageia didn't send out many tester cards eh? If I had a great product that would blow people away, I would want to show it off, even if just for a short 1 game preview. Alas, nothing.. surprising?

I don't think you read the thread correctly, the first two screens are without the PPU, and the second two with the PPU, they are the exact same locations.

Ooops! lol. I thought the second from the top was with PPU enabled because it looked better than the very bottom (which apparently is with the PPU enabled). The bottom one makes the shrapnel look like black paper. lol, that does suck!

I didn't even read it at all, sorry.

The problem with his ss's is they are taken in different points in time. They look different because of that. Just look at the gun flash.

Stop trying to nitpick, he says he experiences a 10-15 drop in fps with the ppu enabled
