Ageia PhysX UT3 Maps Fail to Impress

@ 2007/11/23
Reaction: Immediate disappointment. On the standard gaming rig we use – housing an Athlon 64 X2 4800+, a GeForce 8800 Ultra and 2GB of RAM whilst running Vista – the framerate fell through the floor. What had previously averaged at a smooth 30-35 FPS with everything on maximum now suffered 4-7FPS even with everything on minimum.

The look of the game was pretty much ruined too. While it’s true that the walls and floors in the Lighthouse map are often destructible, there’s no distinction between breakable and unbreakable materials. Even if you do shoot a plank or a window then there’s no way to be sure you’ll get a realistic reaction.
