Default PhysX to become a CUDA extension, PS4 developers rejoice

If you have been wondering how Ageia's PhysX SDK fits into Nvidia’s product range, the answer is actually very simple: The PhysX SDK will be translated into CUDA and, as a result, PhysX will be compliant with the current GeForce 8000 series and all future products from Nvidia, such as the upcoming GeForce 9600 GT and 9800GX2.

Truth to be told, it is hard to believe that G80-based architectures such as G80, G92, G94 would have enough horsepower to calculate PhysX and still deliver gaming experience. In a way, the future looks like this: Buy $200-$250-$300 graphics cards for SLI or Three-Way SLI, one of which one will be used for PhysX calculation. Nvidia pitched this setup already with two 7800GTX/7900GTX cards, but it didn’t exactly fly. The same thing applies for ATI's Menage-a-Trois, a combination of three X1900XTX graphics cards caught in an endless love affair.

if the writing style seems familiar, that's because Theo Valich used to write to The Inquirer
