Is this joke day?... as opposed to what? PhysX working great on CPU? I find this bickering like the Socket issue, Intel makes small efforts for socket compatibility, no one moans, AMD changes one socket every one is up in arms.
In truth, AMD has no obligation to make their software work great (i.e 100%) on non-AMD hardware, nor does Nvidia in PhysX nor Intel in their compilers, but then again Intel as well as others have each their own OpenCL "fork" and if need be the devs can adjust. Safe to say that AMD's OpenCL won't cripple support as Nv's PhysX does on CPU. And even if the software works lets say at 50% in OpenCL... you have a 50% increase in performance if you have some sort of video card supporting OpenCL 1.2 on top of the performance you get from your CPU natively. All that from AMD and the devs in question without you even deserving it.
