Because it's required as that's what runs the physics in the game on the CPU.
It's only really one person though ain't it?
I have to be impartial.
These threads always end up with something going on in them.
Well i never started the abuse as you can see.
Physx on a CPU isnt really Physx imo its just Physics in a game :\
It's not about your opinion: it's black and white, yes or not.
That's what I took from the quoted section as well, just seemed like a bunch of self-righteous by-the-numbers statements that don't add any value or insight and are basically a waste of bytes. The big players have been doing this for over a decade, it is nothing new for performance to improve post-release.
Personally I find it quite odd some that people use improved driver performance as an opportunity to be critical; they are always glass half-empty going on about "my card has been crippled since release until now, disgraceful" rather than "my card has just got a nice boost, awesome". The fact is you should judge the relative performance of hardware at the time you make the purchase and either you consider it worth the money based on that or you don't.
To use a really crap analogy, lets say you start seeing a new partner and decide to 'become an item'. Then a few months down the line they read the Kama Sutra and suddenly become 20% better in the sack. Are you going to be happy or instead say "why weren't you this good in previous months, I hate you"?
[I guess a better analogy might be one involving hookers, but let's not go there]
/Facepalm
So the fact its the same thing but with the mathematical calculations done by the CPU instead of the GPU is irrelevant?
Here, Nvidia tooltips explain it best:

PhysX is just a physics API, with some of those physics effects being ran in software mode, with only the minority GPU accelerated.
End of the day, you were talking crap.
GET BACK ON TOPIC:
I hope more driver gains come for both sides of the fence. Personally looking forward to seeing what nvidia do with titan drivers in the next few months as its already quick so anything else is just a bonus.

Bit my tounge on this thread because of the potential of getting an infraction but it seems the same old crap from someone and the thread gets threatened with closure...
Post whatever tripe you like but as soon as someone corrects it, people get told to behave or the thread gets closed...Fantastic work.

I like this.
It's more about personal agendas than anything else when it comes into discussion, just an excuse for a blatant put down at the end of the day when talking about driver improvements, usually coming from users of the other vendor imho.

I like this better though.
Please respect each other and keep it civil guys/girls please.
I have suggested that the thread might get closed due to the manner of discussion. The thread has been cleaned up now but throwing insults around is the reason, not the topic of discussion.
Feel free to correct eachother as much as you like if you think "tripe" is being posted. Just do it in a civil and respectful manner.
So just because the game usually has better performance on Nvidia cards its acceptable that it took AMD an entire year to fix the widespread random system lockups caused by its drivers while running the game?
Its a game from 2004 that uses an engine from 2002 which hasn't seen a big graphical update since 2010, added to that its one of the most popular games on the planet, AMD should have had the drivers working properly with it in time for their cards launch, not 12 months later.
I like a lot of WoW players affected by the issue eventually moved from the HD7900 series to the GTX600 series entirely due to the driver issue and AMD's lack of interest in fixing it. I fully accept that its only one game (albeit one of the most popular in existence) but I would greatly have preferred not to have had the issue, my confidence in AMD has taken a big knock as a result.
I know what you mean i was ****ed when Skyrim ran like crap with my 7970, but what i was saying was, since Nvidia and Warcraft online were buddied up maybe this is why AMD found it so hard to get it working? Its not the first time Nvidia titles have ran like crap for AMD users.
But yeah i dunno what could have changed with an expansion to make it not work aswell :S
