Radeon Physx

Could this be a sign of things to come???

thats how I suspect the PhsyX was meant to end up... start it off as a stand alone and working product and get bought out/used by the GPU makers built into the card itself.

Looks like some people at VR-Zone have some better info on this...

Nvidia PhysX runs on AMD Radeon 3870, scores 22,000 CPU marks in Vantage - VR-Zone IT & Lifestyle Forum!

Looks like physx is more a political problem than hardware limitation problem...

It has always been this way since nVidia announced PhysX for their cards. Shortly after saying their new cards would get PhysX support they also said their older lines would get it...

As it should. A gaming effect should be on the GPU. Having it on a separate card was nice, but still have the system effect, extra stuff to buy, and over all unnecessary. Just having it on boards with low latency calls and GDDR5 is a huge perk IMO, even if it's a chip external to the GPU itself.

I still don't think it should be such a big factor in 3Dmark though. The overall score gets jacked way up and isn't an indicator of real graphical quality. I think it should be a totally separate test, and we compare using two values; GPU and Physics ability. After all, our attitudes of someone buying a physics card being a waste shouldn't change now that it's on-board. It's now important, or just nice to have?
