AMD representatives reported yesterday the absence of plans with respect to the realization of CUDA support and PhysX in future video cards. Yesterday appeared the possibility of accelerating PHYsX by radeon HD video cards with the aid of modified drivers. Using the drivers physX 8.06.12, which ensure physX support for NVIDIA video card. After a certain modification, as reports associate, these drivers can be forced to accelerate physical effects using radeon HD 3870. The support of radeon HD 48xx is not realized, since the author does not have any model for experiments.


In 3DMark vantage with radeon HD 3870 and modified drivers it was possible to increase the result by 10-12% in comparison with the same configuration but without physX support . The work on drivers continues, and new revelations on this theme will appear within the next few days. Related Products :
