Brilliant.
Dont forget this is a beta version.
Confirmed 4870x2 support, finally.

Sounds like its getting better and better, quite fast!

Makes me hope for more programs that are made to utilize gpu's!

yes
and link to video works here too

captainskyhawk · Mar 15, 2009, 08:27 PM

It'd be nice if they could offer lots of support and assistance for developers like nvidia is for CUDA

csendesmark · Mar 15, 2009, 11:53 PM

I wannt better support for DXVA under XP32bit

newtekie1 · Mar 16, 2009, 03:33 AM

The HD version finally works for me, but not the SD version...doesn't really seem all that interesting. The best they could manage as a demo was spread sheet calculations? Or am I missing something?

I am finding the same thing and would like to know if I have also missed something (which isnt all that unlikely for me)

ShadowFold · Mar 16, 2009, 03:58 AM

It's doing stocks calculations faster than a CPU would. I don't see what's special either, but I'm sure there are a lot of people that do.

TreadR · Mar 16, 2009, 06:41 PM

I don't know why anyone would expect something "else"... PhysX isn't the only alternate thing you can do with a GPU.
