PhysX Runs On RV670, Scores 22,000 CPU Marks in 3DMark Vantage
Eran Badit of NGOHQ.com successfully modified NVIDIA CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) to operate on an ATI GPU and has been able to run the NVIDIA PhysX layer on an RV670, the Radeon HD 3850.
He tells that enabling PhysX support on Radeon cards is not particularly difficult, leading us to believe that physics on graphics cards may not so much be a technology problem but an issue of corporate dynamics.
On his first run, Eran got a 22,606 CPU score in 3D Mark Vantage, enhancing the overall score to P4262. A comparable system without PhysX-support will cross the finish line at about P3800.

I'm own an ATI HD4850, sound's so amazing to know that ATI card can enable PhysicX. I wondering how to setup PhysicX for my system, Would anyone give me some advices?, Do I need to buy PhysicX card and install it to my system?. And Would I need some other things as software for PhysicX.:D Thanks you in advance for your replies. :)
I mean I was all for this and have been checking up on it like every week but he always says oh wait next week, oh wait tommorow, i was sick, oh wait 7 days, oh I forgot, lets wait til tommorow,
really . . .
over the last few days he closed every phyx related thread on NGOGQ, it looks like to me he is trying to whipe up a mess and wait for it to dry
