  • That's very misleading because everything on the physx side can be done without physx in most engines. I've made similar effects with bouncing particles in the UE3 without the need for any physics card. Simply disabling particles all-together in the game then saying "look, only physx can do this!" is very misleading and just plain untrue Water doesn't flow in this game, they're simply transparent particles which bounce around for 1-2 seconds then fade away.

  • Dirt 3 has some impressive particle effect's, and the best part, it don't need PhysX and runs at 60FPS without a extra card. Nvidia's closed door approach has only hindered them.

  • So lame, it's not like these effects can't be done without Physx, it's just a scam for Nvidia to make more money, they pay off the devs to make all of these particle effects with Physx that they could make without, that way, when the game comes out they shit on ATI users.

    It's actually pretty immature when you think about it,

  • pyshx is scam

  • retards! the one with OFF above it has the particles off! I mean WHY would you have a game with a gun called the powerfull water gun when my piss diameter is wider? The graphics has been turned down, rename this to [game name] bad vs max quality for all i care

  • @Fyrwe No, its crapware. And it is a gimmick.

  • @captaincough you dont need an extra card who told you that? all you need is a series 9XXX or higher

  • @theuncanspan 1C are a publisher.

    Also, the particle effects are possible on a CPU, sure... but they're a lot easier to do with a CPU.

  • Gimmick

  • looks great^^

  • que jogada de marquetim fudida foi essa da nvidia ein, nem comparaçao"com e sem physx ! caba perdendo a graça joga sem physx

  • just so u all know what Nvidia shows off with "PhysX" can all be done by using CPU based Physics like Havok, which has also been proven to take less performance off.
