That's what he predicted. "Carmack, like Intel, Nvidia and DAAMIT, appears to think that using GPU and CPU capacity to handle this stuff is a much better idea than requiring an extra add-in card." |
because the industry is taking an either or approach to it. The nVidia drivers will allow either a dedicated physx card or all physics calculations to be done on the GPU. Like I said, nVidia will be bundling the Physx Card with the GTX 2x0 soon but offering the driver which allows for either or.
So similar to what he said about multi-threaded/multi-core processors, Physics processing in an form is just taking a while to take off but it will.
