Finally found the tech report reference: http://techreport.com/articles.x/17618/13 Another PhysX game not even bothering to use the other cores. This doesn't even help PhysX when it isn't even reasonably optimized...

Here's another link about benching PhysX on the same Batman game: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/batman-arkham-asylum,2465-10.html They use ATI cards with PhysX, so that means CPU-PhysX... you shouldn't expect great performance anyways, but read this specifically... . In theory...

My link shows exactly what was said. There was a multi-core processor used and tested WITH and WITHOUT PhysX on. CPU usage didn't go up very much, suggesting that the CPU is not being used. It is supposed to go quite a bit up (translating into better performance) or quite a bit down (translating...

We're exclusively talking about PhysX here with multi-core processors... since that is the scope of Huddy's comments. Those benchmarks don't show PhysX on and off.

I showed you a link with some analysis. Your link doesn't have any. You have to at least see the impact with some benchmarks than just a Q&A. I'm not saying that the Batman game was any good as a comparison (we don't know how optimized it really is), but if you're gonna market a marquee game...

He's saying that prior to acquiring PhysX, the company was doing just dandy with multi-core acceleration. Since tests prove that no more than dual-core is being accelerated, he's saying that the tech is being "held back" intentionally to want you to buy the video card than a CPU. I should think...

Since when did CPU vendors control physics? They don't. Developers do, and they can do it with a CPU if they so desire. PhysX is a vehicle to make this "easier" for the CPU as a method of acceleration. It's not supposed to be "the only way" to make it accessible to all. If you consider PhysX as...

I think he was talking about underutilizing of PhysX when using multi core CPUs. HardOCP had run these tests, but it showed that the CPU was not being efficiently used at all, so what Huddy is saying is correct. If a supposedly CPU driven feature such as physics can be done by the GPU, but no...

Vista does look slightly bad with the rediculous requirements.. Intel obviously isn't completely at fault, but there is a thing as "raising the bar". The consumers that care too much about gaming shouldn't have a totally crippling experience. The more disturbing trend is to see retailers (not...

Just blame Intel on crappy integrated graphics solutions.. that's pretty much where the blame actually lies.

I would normally think it should... beats me. Should be a quick defrag though... maybe.

It's rather amusing when they try to claim that in any forum....

Assuming you still have the warrenty.. an RMA is the best idea. Though.. with how limited in supply the 7800 GTX 512MB is.. I'm not sure you will get one back (I presume they keep just enough for RMA purposes of course)... but you might get an upgrade (a 7900?) in return... Those...

This demo doesn't seem to work... I'm not sure what I'm missing.. This is the error message I get: "Couldn't Create Vertex Declaration" Running a Radeon 9800 Pro with CATALYST 6.3...

Ah ok. What I was told was that it seemed to detect viruses better... It would be nice if there was some sort of test to see who has the most effective AV... particularly the free ones... With the ICSA test.. what does it mean to us though? I understand it is a independent testing.. but how is...
