NVIDIA To Showcase PhysX Content

Posted by Soulskill on from the knocking-down-walls dept.

Early next week, NVIDIA will release the GeForce Experience Pack to demonstrate the 'PhysX' engine it bought from AGEIA earlier this year. The pack is free, and it will contain a stand-alone action game, maps for Unreal Tournament 3, and various demos. Gamasutra notes that the UT3 maps are "designed to 'fundamentally change' the game's mechanics."

    Let me go out on a limb and take a guess that the demo will consist of a bunch of boxes falling or other things we've already seen in games that seem to work just fine without PhysX chips for some reason. Except they'll note that since it's handled by the PhysX processor to the CPU doesn't take a hit. Then everybody will applaud and cheer, and PC gaming will continue to stagnate.

    ...Or maybe PhysX just sounds a hell of a lot better than PhysL?

    Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice... Yes, "Physics" sounds better than "Fizzle"...
