omg i have been waiting for this day for what seem's like forever , Im a big ghost recon fan and have been waiting for ghost recon 3(PC) since the day Ubi anounced it thay had stopped working on the PC version of ghost recon 2 and that thay intended to make it for the xbox only..A sad day for me .

Then we found out that Ubisoft had handed over the development of ghost recon 3 ( GRAW PC ) to another dev team and thay are building the game around the AGEIA Ppu ...I was well happy

, But the wait has been long and with no info from Ubi or Grin about how the PC version will look and feel we have just had to sit and wait ...and wait ...and wait .

WAIT NO MORE

Here is the first look of the AGEIA Ppu in action..... Enjoy

EDIT : Click the video on the left and have a GOOD look at it ... Then click the one on the right :eek:

Could have been compression for the vids.

hmm looks like they have put work into the physics but not impplemented all the hdr from the 360 version

they have also totally dumbed down the explosions on the non physx video from the 360

As far as i understand ... Thay are both from PC versions .. not 360 .

The first video is just a general purpose processer , And the second video is including the use of the Ppu .

thats what i mean both versions of the video lack the 360 hdr implementation and the explosion on the non physx video is dumbed down a lot from the 360 version

mabe they had to do that to get it to play ok on a PC without the PPU

yeah the non physx vid has definately been crippled,, reminds me a bit of them shopping channel wonder car polish ads where they make a nice new car dirty then polish it up to an immaculate shine,,, ''wow thats amazing George that really works''
