It seem, that AMD company was determined with the selection of strategic partner in the part of physical effects acceleration in games - using havok company witch become the new intel subdivision . In this case games optimization will be originally conducted under multi-cores processors, and only later optimization of physical engine will pass under video chips . It is symbolic, that NVIDIA proposes to accelerate Physic specifically for its video chips, for this reason NVIDIA propose drivers with physX engine support , adapted after the acquisition of AGEIA company under the special features of CUDA platform. . Associates pay close attention to the question of physX support by AMD video cards .AMD considers that it is necessary to pay greater attention to the acceleration of Physic by multi-core processors. Multi-core processors will soon appear in many gaming computers. For games developers it is simpler to optimize products under multi-core processors, than under video chip from concrete producer. Let us note that physX support is realized only for video cards series geForce 9xxx and GeForce GTX 2xx, and only later to this list will be added video cards series geForce 8xxx. AMD desires to optimize the havok engine under its own processors with several core, and then transfer the part of acceleration to video chips. In this year AMD promises to share with community more detailed plans relative to the realization of Physic support in games. Related Products :
