Nvidia Physx - Confirmed

[Randomness]

You should also consider the possibility that your games are CPU limited rather than GPU limited (that is to say, your GPU is faster than your CPU).

Well, I just felt like the CPU option hadn't even been noted.

Obviously it'll be slower.

Have you guys not realized that PhysX is not only software but also refers to a literal expansion card? Like i said before, just because guys went digging through the files and say "Physx" doesnt mean you'll need an Nvidia card or something. It's probably functioning no differently than an engine like Havok.

Why the hell would sega develop a game meant for "all computers", but only make a key feature (that, like i said, MIGHT not even be able to be turned off) that works well on Nvidia cards?

Maybe so that if people do have nVidia cards, they can use that exclusive feature in the game so the game looks better. People who don't have Nvidia cards can still play the game, this feature just won't work.

While the game might be designed for 'all computers', restricting better computers from getting better graphics would be dumb, but I highly doubt Sega would do that. Then again, it's Sega.

Use your brain, please.

So you're telling me, everyone we've seen playing the game now just so happens to be using Nvidia graphics cards? No ATI or anything? Somehow i doubt that. But seeing as none of us are sure right now.....

....Uh no it wouldn't mean Nvidia only. Like said several times already it can be run on the CPU.

And I have a ATI card, ran PSO2 already with everything on High, only on the title screen, but hey everything is working.

asdasdasd I can't read lol

[Serephim]

Thats what i mean. It can be run on the CPU, and probably most GPUs as well. Im not entirely positive, but i am sure that the Ageia PPU is used mostly for the very complex aspects of it, like the cloth tearing and crap like that.

But all this game seems to use it for is hair, clothing belts and titties.

[Zynetic]

Let it slide. I merely misinterpreted what you said.

[Serephim]

Fine : p

[Zynetic]

For some reason I thought you were saying that Physx worked well on Nvidia cards only, so Sega shouldn't be implementing it in. >_<

It's a fault on my end, sorry.
