CUDA Platform must work on all video card series geForce 9xxx and GeForce 8xxx, and also on the recently presented cheap product : GeForce 9500 GT. Associates explained that the last physX drivers version support this video card.
Since gaming applications with physX support are not many, as test applications came out the processor test in 3DMark vantage and unreal tournament 3 Heatray. Participants in this test are : GeForce 9800 GTX+, GeForce 9800 GT and GeForce 9500 GT, and also the central processor core 2 Extreme QX9770 (3.2 GHz) with four core. Note that in 3DMark vantage the geForce 9500 GT accelerates physical effects almost three time faster than core 2 Extreme QX9770 processor , but in this case it is two times slower than GeForce 9800 GT.
In the real game test UT3 the geForce 9500 GT occurs 1,67 times faster than the central processor, but up to 31% slower than GeForce 9800 GT. Even budget video card, which is GeFore 9500 GT, is capable of accelerating physical effects in games more effectively than one of the most expensive processors.
