Physx is it used much ?

[2013]

I was wondering if Physx is it used much ?

I mean on of the reasons is i look at the nvidia cards is because of the physx, I was wondering is physx a big deal does it get used much ?

so its just a gimmick ?

I always thought they could do much more with it.

Thats all I wanted to know, I use to thing physx will get better and gaming with nvidia should be better but they have not done much with it, so now I can compare amd and nvidia on equal grounds.

What i don't get is why Nvidia are hanging so tightly to Physx. It's now not a major selling fact or it should not be as it's barely used by Nvidia gpu's. If they were to open it up to amd they would most likely have it used in a lot of games but it's still there tech so surely they would perform better in the short term at least. They would still control it and where it goes. There main market is the pc so imo they should be helping this market along with this technology.

the should do what nokia does, share it but charge a royalty fee.

what about the hard ware side of physics, can it not be used without the software support?

Id like to see a game like 'Good old crysis' from 2007, which still doesn't look bad at all now a days, properly use a graphics card to its 100% potential then it would have been amazing if it was properly coded, then for phys-x to make a phys-x card worth while, to take all the physics stress away from the cpu.
Then for amd and NVidia to allow full support of phys-x if its going to help them, but meh, ney its old tech, going no where.

Looks amazing on some old games that properly support it when them phys-x cards came out, but now a days, would just be sitting there gathering dust in the bottom pci slot, would rather stick a Dorito in there, would make a nice smell at the same time

I feel the same way.

It does help a bit, too bad its only on a few games.

The key question is would you buy Nvidia because of physx
