Flashpoint 2 And The PPU

Reading it...

but I don't see how it works?

so it's not replacing the CPU, but it'l be a piece of hardware that will take the task of calculating physics instead of the CPU?

Sounds... promosing , but won't this mean motherboards will have to be adapted? or will it use PCI-X ?

As I said in other threads Im looking foward to this, but AGEIA has to work hard with developers for the PPU API be acepted.

Personaly, I think the future game of BIS is the ideal game for all the AGEIA´s features, but only time will tell if this new addin card have the sucess that 3DFX had when they lunch the Voodoo cards.

Another thing that bother me, is the price tag between 250€ and 299€, its a lot for something that totaly new to the world of gaming.

Thats exactly what it does .

AGEIA’s PhysX is the world’s first Physics Processing Unit (PPU), which offloads software physics processing from central processing units and graphics processing units to it. The architecture of the PhysX PPU is tailored for multi-threaded processing of vertexes, which allows game creators to develop detailed, soft and precise animation and simulation of movements, hair, clothing, liquids, fluids and other. Currently AGEIA PhysX is the world’s first and only dedicated physics processing unit.

Quote[/b] ]Meanwhile i'm thinking of bumping up my GeForce 5700LE 128MB to a 6800GT 256MB AGP just for Flashpoint 2. Excellent.

When the game arrives the 6800GT will be a "old" card.

The G70, the new nVIDIA grafics card will be presented in less than a mounth

So if you are upgrading just for the new game, its not worth it, you can buy a card a lot better later for the price you ll bought a 6800GT now

One presumath that you are talking about card with 512MB of GDDR3 RAM persay? Expensive they sound, a good card i would like. All for Operation Flashpoint 2. I think i'll start saving now.

GeForce 7800 GTX (G70) Specs

0.11 micron process TSMC
430Mhz core / 1.4GHz 256MB GDDR3 memory
256-bit memory interface
38.4GB/s memory bandwidth
10.32Bps Fill Rate
860M vertices/second
24 pixels per clock
400MHz RAMDACs
NVIDIA CineFX 4.0 engine
Intellisample 4.0 technology
64-bit FP texture filtering & blending
NVIDIA SLI Ready (7800 GTX only)
DX 9.0 / SM 3.0 & OpenGL 2.0 supported
G70 comes with 3 models; GTX, GT and Standard

256Mg Curse later the 512 will apear too.

They also said there would be a 512 MB for the Geforce 6 series... quite frankly, I don't believe there will...

Matra, I also don't see why you are posting your system specs in your signature... does it help anybody?

Ur right Gandaf, , but in thw foruns I usualy am we do this a lot, because it help here I simply didnt know what to put in there, when I remenber something Ill change it.
