CUDA Enabled PhysX Application: GRAW2

Here is an example of how the use of the CUDA architecture is transforming the look of consumer entertainment and gaming. This was first released in July 2008. This entire game has more REAL action and energy than any other action game because of the huge increase in interaction enabled by the CUDA architecture. CUDA also makes new real-time interaction possible which was hitherto impossible. The air is alive with swirling leaves and debris, the wind bends the palms and rips through their fronds, the player can shoot at any object such as the trees and even the coconuts in the trees and they react accordingly. Notable new game play which CUDA makes possible are the vivid, environmentally shattering explosions, the detailed architectural collapse of the watchtowers that can be demolished piece by piece or in their entirety with a skilfully thrown grenade, the ripping apart of tarp covers of the hutments. The speed-up of these simulations running on CUDA enabled GPUS versus running on a high-end CPU is between 5X to 10X.

what kinda palm tree is going to be cut like that with a few shots

looks nice

but not exactly what happens in real life

[Indecom]

Yea, looks like everything in this game was constructed with plastic nails and butter lol

i have an nvidia card, but let's face it: physx sucks

[perfectionbox]

first you shoot the tower guy with a gun, then after he falls you wipe out the tower with a rocket. Could have saved gun ammo but no quick death for tower guy allowed :)

What's going on at 1:43? You shoot the top of the building, and the whole thing instantly blows apart, even at the base? This looks like it's just pre-defined break pieces.

is just my pc or the sound is out of sync?

@bestSVMS funny how no one says this about crysis, but yeah.

[Zohaib1]

game doesnt even look great

[supertoaster141]

exaggerated hollywood physics, but it is still awsome!

[TheDarkman21]

@bestSVMS But this game dosent show the real life physx , it just shows the Perfomence of the physx engine

[JoDaddyy]

@Briluvr Exactly!
