Greg Amerson sent along news that after NVIDIA’s purchase of AGEIA a few months back the porting of the PhysX hardware-accelerated physics engine to NVIDIA’s CUDA software platform is complete and will be shipping in the GeForce 177.79 Forceware drivers.
This addition will allow folks playing PhysX-enhanced games with supported 8000 series and 9000 series cards to enable the PhysX enhancements of those games and let the graphic’s cards GPU do the physics acceleration instead of a dedicated PhysX card.
I’m not sure what this means for the 7 people that actually bought PhysX cards… my guess is that you’ll just keep using it as the stand alone accelerator harkening back to the days of Voodoo2 cards and the like.
Thanks CrunchGear!
Cool….
