Mars Benchmark

[varkanoid]

Hi

just noticed a new benchmark called Mars has anybody tried this yet just downloading it now myself. GPU Physx benchmark.

Noticed it in Nvidia 275.50 beta drivers and wondered what it was.

Looks like someone had far too much fun making destructable paving stones and forgot to make the water look semi convincing :S

Is it just me or does the reliance on using paper blowing around streets to show off PhysX just make it look like a really bad 80's music video?

Here's a video of the most demanding PhysX benchmark available - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWULhhL2F18&feature=player_detailpage#t=109s

So, another benchmark to see effects that won't be mainstream till we see an open standard?

fixed... not like we are gonna say an adopted open standard physics implementation with the capabilities of PhysX any time soon.
