nVidia's newest Graphics Cards, as well as their 8 Series cards, are boasting a new firmware processor thing called
PhysX. From what I'm understanding of it, it uses the GPU on the video card to process Physics information and displays, thus relieving some strain from the CPU and FPP.
I'm wondering if Unknown/Lux Tenebras plans to make use of this technology? Potentionally, it has the ability to render some magnificent scenes, physics displays, and real-time particle effects.
At the same time, it will also limit the game to only people with nVidia video cards supporting PhysX. Unless, of course, it also came with the option to disable PhysX Acceleration.
I wonder if ATI has a simiular accelerator?
Anyways, also for those interested, is the
PhysX Developer's Page, for the free SDK and other information.
