Ageia PhysX Compare Video

[@Airakobra]

Yea! you can see the Cell Factor demo! there are like 2000 objects reacting like they should when colliding/being hit/destroyed(taking in consideration weight, dimensions, momentum, surfaces) it totally brings the possibilities to infinty! it's so great having a device only to calculate and apply physic reality and laws to the game's engines =D

[@Graylord88]

And the "slowmotion" speed on stuff depends from game to game, just watch cellfactor!

[@girass]

awesome :D

[@saintmora]

the supposed fire going liquid are the burning cinders from the walls. if you concentrate on one spot the wall will burn down

[@yusthavinfun]

hmm didint know that. thanks for the info (btw since when are there faling afterglowing fire chunks coming out of a flamethrower?)

[@shogg]

Many of the upcoming games are going to be using it, it's a growing technology which will eventually be standard

[@Merudo]

finally, somebody said it! To the Comments of it moving too slowly, that's down to the game producers. As a technical slideshow of what can be done its fantastic though!

[@MrKickyourbutt]

Actually, Euphoria does that and more. For example, it realistically simulates the breakage of wood, glass, and other materials, as well as regular physics computation. It probably won't display as many physics objects on the screen as PhysX, but I think it does so more realistically.

[@lVleSHuGGA]

@angleisthebest i think its actually pretty sweet but also again i got a 5870 and a GT 240 for dedicated physX

[@jesuitson]

Quite nice... what song is that? Sounds like John Petrucci.

[@girass]

why is it every time i see a physx demo everything controlled by the ppu is super super slow moving, like it weighs half a gram or like the ppu is struggling? cos.. its like everything.. not just gas/liquids.. not that it isnt sweet.. but why does that happen? is it struggling or do they purposfully do that in demos to show it off?

[@1schwererziehbar1]

PhysX is never used for any graphics. it is only for physics. i wonder why many people are confused about that. maybe because in most e-stores the PhysX card is in the graphics cards section.

[@jamesstone123]

by and large, a physx card is not what everyone thinks it is. It takes over any jobs involving the physical destruction of environments. Ergo, anything destroyed in a game without physx may look completely different to one with physx, simply because everything undergoes different algorithms than it would in your CPU

[@Mechafizz024]

I was price browsing on dell for an xps and even with an SLI of the nividia 8800 gt they still asked me if i wanted a physx accelerator

[@machination2]

Nice music.

[@Shads2k1]

Even a Quad core system and 8800GTX can't do what a PhysX card can. You -don't- really need this card, the game will just run fine without it. PhysX card is there to add eye-candy, it won't make your game suddenly go twice as fast. Plus, only games that has PhysX logo that can take advantage of the card.

[@munchhausen2463]

Mmmh magic!

[@Mechafizz024]

so i don't know if it's built into the 8800's

[@TakronRust]

If they integrated the Phys-X with say Havok or something instead of requiring you to use THEIR physics engine I think this could have gone somewhere.

[@daranik]

how many games actually support this hardware?

[@yusthavinfun]

and ageia is bought by nvidea. the cards are qute rare now and nvidia has put physx proseccors in all 8xxx cards and up.

[@MaLcH10R]

whats the song?

[@ignolan]

This is true, but you can save some fps by using a physX processor. Besides, if you have enough money for a quad core, you can probably salvage enough money to buy a physics card

[@Airakobra]

Yea i Love it =P

[@1nazchan]

Agreed

[@Piacco42]

no but good graphics cards like the 8800gt can do the same thing but not as fast as the physX can. because the physX is ONLY for the physics. so it'll be slower when your graphics card has to calculate the physics and the graphics.

[@jesuitson]

Oh... never mind. It says at the end of the vid.

[@1schwererziehbar1]

the card woul dbe more interesting if the physics would have an effect on the actual gameplay, not only on what oyu see.

[@TwinZiEx]

what game is that?

[@yackemflamber]

wat game is that

[@tomisnake91]

if you look at painkiller physics, it's the same

[@Piacco42]

the physX card is not included in any graphics card.

[@dsi24]

@angleisthebest If physics is a gimmick so is sound and visuals.

[@livingpersononyoutub]

Yes, the new Nvidia card will have physx built in.

[@xLordJeevesx]

ati needs to combat the nvidia and ageia partner or else ati will be in some deep doo-doo.

[@lucyfer22]

the card costs too much, it is loud,anyway GF8800 can do that asswell so why bother and spend shit load of money for something that isn't used widely in games, many game Developers use Havok 4.5 now since it is easier to code , and the games run smoothly not as the other titles witch are bloated after some game time using Ageia. Anyway using "Bet on soldier" as a physics demo for the Ageia Card is silly since the game isn't playable, it isn't a 'blockbuster game'

[@reyuken]

Kinda looks fake. Like the flames rolling over the floor. And a grenade spewing out green crystals? Wtf.

[@ff8123]

No. Physx is NOT supported by source engine. Your card does nothing in those games.

[@DFaz3]

the bodies fell to sloww

[@omgwtfjewlol]

its a shame that nothign supports it. . .

[@Termisk8er]

the physics seem too lofty

[@Airakobra]

It's on purpose

[@taproot12]

physx look better in Ghost recon AW 2

[@vitalioss]

tringls lock stupid buy 8800gtx and play Crysis this is the gaming!

[@megacomrade]

FORGET ATI!!!!!!!!!!

[@bdude1992]

nope

[@P00RKN00W]

ati will never compare or beat nvidia so obvious

[@DarthOblivius]

This is crap compared to DMM and Euphoria. Though nice song I'll admit that.

[@entropy11]

Looks like Bet on Soldier: Blood Sport. below average sequel to a below average game.

[@nelsonica2007]

a quad core cpu today can to thes very easy!!!! marketing crap from ageia!! and with the next gen quad core from intel and amd bye bye ageia

[@dangerousminds0hotm]

es una mierda, las fisica que le introducen a los juegos es muy exagerada tan exagerada que se sale de los terminos de la realidad, lo que importa en un juego es su buena optimizacion

[@yusthavinfun]

nah its just a failure in the game becouse they wanted physx a little too bad
