"It's crazy!"
It really seems as though he's just making a whole lot of this up as he talks.
Fuck PhysX. Hope it dies a slowly and painfully death.
Using PhysX in your games is like telling 50% of your customers to fuck off and buy from Nvidia.

Anyone can use PhysX.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;42211463]Anyone can use PhysX.[/QUOTE]
Yeah it falls back to CPU if you don't have an nvidia card. (which is a lot slower)

Didn't work for me in mirrors edge or Borderlands 2?
Well nobody should buy anything other than nVidia anyways :v:
(at least the experiences I had with ATI were horrible)
im sorry guys theres just no way we can do these shitty effects that add barely anything to the graphics without a special physx approved graphics card
[QUOTE=Balphagore;42211549]Didn't work for me in mirrors edge or Borderlands 2?[/QUOTE]
Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong then.
It can run on a CPU though. Maybe you need to download a hack or something to get it working.
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;42211593]get a better card then
[editline]16th September 2013[/editline]
its like complaining you cant run arma3 on a card from 2002[/QUOTE]
are you talking to me? ive got a card that has physx
i was just remembering back when physx came out that every single game requiring a PPU for "physx-accelerated effects" had terrible effects that barely warranted the 300 dollar purchase
There's nothing wrong with taking advantage of technology. Just because you don't have PhysX doesn't mean you can't play the game. It just means you don't have PhysX.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;42211463]Anyone can use PhysX.[/QUOTE]
not if your cpu costed under $800
[QUOTE=Brt5470;42211463]Anyone can use PhysX.[/QUOTE]
A lot of video games that use PhysX don't let you change the option in the ingame menus if you have an ATI card that it deems not powerful enough. For example, my PC is good enough to possibly handle it but Borderlands 2 doesn't think so, and thus the option for turning on PhysX is grayed out in the menus because I have an ATI graphics card. If I wanted to I could go into the .ini files and change it myself, but it's kinda bullshit to have intentionally brand-exclusive technology like that.
Funny how on the second scene, with PhysX turned off, there are no shadows, however, on the fourth scene, suddenly there are perfect shadows with it turned off. Seems fishy.
To be honest many of those particle effects they've been showing can be done without physx, even if those then do not react to player movements etc.

I've no trouble with AMD/ATI those days. Sure NVIDIA is a [I]safe[/I] choice, but AMD/ATI can be a better choice sometimes when having a tight budget.

Honestly, as much as this guy is pumping up the effect, they don't look that great. I think I could bear to play the game without terrible fog covering everything, and those weird splodgy depressions in the snow.

Oh no powerful hardware that allows more features than weaker concurrence
Stop being better or I'll cry harder
those fogs look so bad and dumb lol, lets just make everything look messier and blurrier wooo
Never really got all the hype over all these minor graphical changes. I jumped from a 9600GT to a 660 a couple months ago and aside from now everything running at 60fps I'm not noticing a big difference. Unless I'm doing something silly like press my nose against the wall to check when the rock texture starts pixelating.
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;42211903]my main pc has a 660Ti and runs everything fine
it was 250 dollars new when i got it[/QUOTE]
660TI = Nvidia GPU = PhysX is calculated by GPU instead of CPU = not what he's talking about.

And everyone that doesn't care about these minor features (apparently) takes a major hit to their performance that has a significant impact on their gameplay. Totally justifiable stuff.
Noticeable framefrop with that DX11 Tessellation

Then disable it ? PhysX was never mandatory, it's turned off by default.
[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;42211545]Yeah it falls back to CPU if you don't have an nvidia card. (which is a lot slower)[/QUOTE]
Only if the game implements it, though? Could be wrong, but I remember seeing games where PhysX cannot be enabled because I don't have an Nvidia card.

To be fairly honest the most recent games using PhysX just disable it altogether for ATI users because simulations are so intensive it soaks up all of your CPU and will make the game crash if your card is not bleeding-edge new. My NVidia card which is now 2 years old can't run Borderlands 2 or Arkham City with the highest PhysX settings without crashing, though that's also due to my lack of RAM.
[QUOTE=cdr248;42218275]Borderlands 2's physx effects looked really nice imo.[/QUOTE]
And that's about it. It doesn't really add anything substantial to the game
I plan on getting an AMD based computer as soon as I get the money but physx is cool
at the same time it doesn't add [U]that [/U]much in enough games, and AMD through a hardware comparison is faster than Nvidia.
just a small look at the video and it does make a cool difference, but in the end its fancy and all that, but is it really that worth it? I mean I already have a nvidia card but, yeah. I'd rather have a much faster card than fancy smoke effects.
I remember seeing these smoke effects in Clear Sky and the footprint shadows when Crytek was showing off DX10 in Crysis. It really bothered me that games never used those cool effects
It wasn't just footprints, Parallax Occlusion Mapping let shadows be cast on [I]any[/I] texture that used it, which was pretty fucking cool
There were some textures in Crysis like the muddy dirt with POM or some soil with pebbles that almost looked real.
Also I really don't get the "I'D RATHER HAVE X THANKS OVER SMOKE EFFECTS" comments in this thread.
Unless you are sitting next to a psychopath who holds a gun to your head and forces you to max every game out that you play even if you can't, I don't see how this is a negative thing.
