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."

    No, it's not CUDA, nor is it an extension of CUDA. It was implemented using CUDA, but developers don't need to use CUDA to use PhysX.
