Modders Get Nvidia's PhysX To Run On ATI Cards

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the working-as-intended dept.

stress_life writes "Following controversial allegations that Nvidia is cheating in 3DMark Vantage and Unreal Tournament 3 benchmarks, executives from Futuremark and Epic moved forward to clean any confusion. However, the game was not over — enthusiasts from Israel ported PhysX middleware to run on ATI Radeon cards, achieving remarkable performance. Owners of ATI Radeon cards will be able to play PhysX games as well, such as Ghost Recon 2 and already mentioned Unreal Tournament 3."

    The physics is basically Newtonian mechanics (more in a moment)

    Was that accidental or is that the worst physics joke ever? :-P if intentional allow me to present you with a medal!
