Brilliant.
Dont forget this is a beta version.
Confirmed 4870x2 support, finally.
 
Sounds like its getting better and better, quite fast! :D Makes me hope for more programs that are made to utilize gpu's!
 
The youtube link works for me
 
that is a nub question but what does it actualy do? is it like cuda:confused:
 
It'd be nice if they could offer lots of support and assistance for developers like nvidia is for CUDA
 
I wannt better support for DXVA under XP32bit :)
 
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?

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

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