Forums - PC - Nvidia's PhysX runs on Radeon 3870?

http://www.tgdaily.com/html_tmp/content-view-38137-135.html

After playing with Nvidia's CUDA SDK and PhysX SDK, Eran apparently got the PhysX layer to play along with Radeon cards. He mentioned that enabling PhysX support on Radeon cards is not particularly difficult, leading us to believe that physics on graphics cards may not so much be a technology problem but a game of politics.

Eran said that he will be offering the ATI PhysX-enabling utility on NGOHQ.com as soon as he gets his hands on more hardware

On his first run, Eran got a 22,606 CPU score in 3D Mark Vantage, enhancing the overall score to P4262. A comparable system

We are told that there is currently no relationship between NGOHQ.com and AMD’s PR team, which means that Eran does not have access to Radeon 4850 or 4870 cards. Check the www.ngohq.com website for the software to become available this weekend.
to check the application on more than one graphics card.  We are told that he is testing hardware already, which means that the software should be available “soon”. without PhysX-support will cross the finish line at about P3800.

Hey NJ5 is that comparible with the 9600gt/8800gt for the Physx score on 3dmark?



Tease.

No idea, I haven't seen any other PhysX benchmarks. But I hear this is a nice result, which is hilarious if true.

I'll post later if I find something.

Well if is true, yes is more about politics, AMD left nVidia alone (And the green goblin offered them support to use PhysX on the Ati cards as an open solution) choosing Havoc instead (Intel)...
