5Ghz Quads get about that much. While it is about the same compared to a Nvidia card running PhysX it's amazing compared to CPUs.]]>Jun 29th 2008 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/Jun 29th 2008 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/
Of course, I do have a laptop and 8600m GT and I heard somewhere that PhysX was only useful for Desktop cards....

Can someone set me straight on all this???]]>Jun 29th 2008 2:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/Jun 29th 2008 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/
If it is for the 8800 and up, than that just sucks!]]>Jun 29th 2008 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/

Apple users wont be seeing this for God knows how long, 1+ year at best.

Even then, so what?
You want to enable physics in Quake 3? Zork perhaps?]]>Jun 29th 2008 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/
Apple's announced OpenCL framework is going to provide an abstraction layer over the top of both nVidia's and AMD's system so future OSX Snow Leopard software is able to take advantage of the GPU (and multi-core CPUs) for parallel processing. By Integrating this functionality directly into the operating system as an API, Apple is making it MUCH easier for developers to take advantage of this technology. This should mean that a lot more professional and consumer software will be able to take advantage of GPU processing.]]>Jun 30th 2008 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/Jun 29th 2008 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/but yes if they can get this to work on a 48XX card then amd is back at least for this generation (not that they went already but this just solidifies it)]]>Jun 29th 2008 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/29/physx-layer-running-on-amd-radeon-3870-utility-available-soon/

That would be bitchin if Apple could get OpenCL out the door.

This is like someone saying OH YEAH I MOVED THIS EXTREMELY TIME SENSITIVE CODE FROM ARM TO x86 WITHOUT AN EMULATOR AND NOW IT RUNS FASTER, IT WAS EASY LOL.
There is a disassembler for CUDA binaries but then they would need an assembler for AMD video cards. And detailed knowledge of EXACTLY how they work (which is NDAed). And since they claim AMD were not involved, somehow I doubt that.]]>Jun 30th 2008 12:56AM
