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."

    Why are people assuming the PhysX on ATI cards story is true? These guys don't have the PhysX C source code, as it does NOT ship with the PhysX SDK. They'd have to port nVidia intermediate language to ATI's IL - and do it efficiently. This is an order of magnitude more difficult. I say this story is a complete hoax.
