PhysX Runs On RV670, Scores 22,000 CPU Marks in 3DMark Vantage

I think the bigger inference game developers are beginning to draw is:

"If we use PhysX, only NV and Ageia card users can enjoy our games, while ATI users won't".

It's all over the news that ATI is heading towards a 40% market share soon. Developers will take note of that, and choose Havoc over PhysX since everyone can use it, doesn't require you to download and install a "Havoc driver", it comes with the game, anyone with a half decent (as in > P4 3.20 GHz / A64 3200+) can enjoy Havoc.

Okay, here are some updates about what’s going on:

• The software is still under development, there are a few issues that need to be addressed. During the weekend, I ran it on UT3 but its not working perfectly. However, after testing the game with a 8800GT, it seems that everything is fine on our side and the problem lies in UT3’s side.

• At this stage, I don’t know which GPUs will be supported. I don’t even know if we will release as a stand-alone application or bundled with our NGO ATI Optimized Driver. Hell, I don’t even know if it will be released at all.

• To everyone who claims this is fake/hoax, our software uses CUDA and It is intuitive to use because it is basically C. This task isn’t impossible as you think. If you’re visiting NGOHQ.com often, then you should know I’m a man of honor (without any image manipulation skills - never been an artist).

• I don’t see any legal problem with what are doing since CUDA and PhysX are free and we are using our code. However, I haven’t received any “green light” from our attorney yet to distribute it.

• We are still planning to post some footage of it in action. However, there are only two camcorders in our possession and both of them aren’t good as we predicted. The better one has very limited amount of storage.

• Seriously, we don’t accept any kind of donations from users.

• The decision not to support HD 4800 series is political. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a nice guy and I’d like to reward our users. However, even nice guys like me have websites to run. We have tried to obtain HD 4800 cards - but availability is too poor in our region. Anyway, every time a manufacturer launches a new product, he’s providing the press with some review samples. Most of the times, we just borrow it for a week or two, we don't care about it.

• Manufacturers aren’t providing us with any option to purchase cards and it’s impossible to find it in stores before the official launch. Recently, some manufacturers like AMD are providing 3-5 sites with ten samples and leaving the others in the dark. Therefore, we are forced to play these political games to keep our site alive. As Joe Pesci once said, running a terrorist’s organization isn’t cheap these days. You have to understand that these samples are like bread and water for us.

• Apologizes for the grammar mistakes, I haven’t slept much recently.

they mention attorney, they see the oncoming battle

So Amazing!

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. Thanks you in advance for your replies.

the problem is . . . . how do we know that

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

I have completely lost hope with this. If it does come out, awesome, but I'm not keeping my hopes up any longer :shadedshu
