Dark Void with GPU PhysX Will Be Shown at CES 2010

It is being reported over at PhysXinfo.com that the PC version of Dark Void is going to be shown at CES 2010 which is being held in Las Vegas from January 7-10. The game is going to be shown by NVIDIA with one GF100 (Fermi) card running Dark Void on three monitors setup, with PhysX effects and 3D Vision enabled. We have been excited for Dark Void Since since it was announced that the game would be implementing advanced PhysX effects along with the Cinematic Trailer and Gameplay Footage was released several months ago. Meanwhile Shacknews is reporting that the Dark Void demo will be landing on consoles this week, however no word on a PC demo.


from PhysXinfo.com:

According to capcom-unity.com, Dark Void “with special Nvidia-powered PhysX enhancements” will be presented at PC Gaming Alliance Booth – North Hall #5616.

Moreover, user Zed X, referring to invitation for CES show, reports on XtremeSystems.com forums that NVIDIA will showcase one GF100 (Fermi) card running Dark Void on three monitors setup, with PhysX effects and 3D Vision enabled.

From The Dark Void nZone.com page:

The extensive use of NVIDIA® PhysX® and APEX technologies delivers stunning in-game physics effects. In fact, when it ships in the fall of 2009, Dark Void will have the distinction of being the first game to use dynamic, accurate smoke effects and smoke trails for the game’s innovative jetpack, UFOs, and spaceships, all of which will be hardware-accelerated by GeForce® GPUs when played on compatible PCs.

The game utilizes both NVIDIA PhysX and APEX technologies to deliver an inspired, interactive experience, complete with a GPU-accelerated particle system that is used extensively for weapons and debris effects.

If you have not heard about Dark Void before be sure to check out more info at the official Dark Void Website and the trailer and gameplay video below.
