Czech website PCtuning has posted a series of slides from NVIDIA that go in-depth with the new PhysX Supersonic Sled demo that was recently showcased at CES 2010 on the new GF100( Fermi ) Video card. We have previously posted many videos that have showed up of this demo in action and many people are wondering what the big deal about it is. These slides will explain to you why this new PhysX demo is so fascinating, it has given Nvidia a way to show off the latest and greatest in PhysX technology and the future of games, from PhysX Smoke,Fluid, Dust and Particle effects to PhysX based destruction and a new PhysX based character that uses PhysX joints to simulate rag doll effects. After reading through these slides you will get a better understanding of what is really going on in the PhysX Supersonic Sled demo videos you have seen and what PhysX is going to bring to games in the future when more and more developers start to implemented these awesome PhysX features.
If you have not seen the PhysX Supersonic sled demo in action you may want to watch the following videos we have posted about before reading the slides:

As a lure, while a perfect demo of the new opportunities to developers GeForce Nvidia literally won a new demo Supersonic Sled. It could perfectly show the possibilities of new hardware while allowing the user to play with all the detailed parameters and effects. Do not miss two videos at the end of the presentation, one is official and it looks nice.
Second made during the presentation that is a blurry picture because of the 3D display, but it has a very interesting comment directly from the developer.
