YouTube user TheKruchy22 has made and posted an awesome video showing off the NVIDIA PhysX Supersonic Sled demo running on his GTX480 SLI systems. TheKruchy22 did a great job with the videos camera angles and showing off the PhysX based destruction that the sled speeding by causes. Very cool stuff. Check it out below.
With yesterdays launch of the GTX 400 series GPU’s, NVIDIA has also released the long awaited PhysX SuperSonic Sled demo for download. Unfortunately you will also need one of these new GPU’s, which wont be out for another 2 weeks to run this PhysX demo because it uses DX11 tessellation to take full advantage of the new GTX 400 series GPU’s. You can check out the demo page and more information about it here.
We have been excited for this demo since we first saw videos of it several months ago. Check out our previous postings for more information:
Zogrim over at PhysXinfo.com has done a really nice GPU PhysX comparison for Metro 2033, showing off what the PhysX effects look like with PhysX enabled and disabled. Like all of Zogrim’s PhysX comparison videos he does a split screen side by side comparison showing what the PhysX effects look like in the game with PhysX On and PhysX off along with normal full screen footage of PhysX on and PhysX off showing off the impressive PhysX effects in Metro 2033.
We have bee excited for Metro 2033 since it was announced it would feature advanced PhysX effects and be a PhysX and graphics showcase when released. In this video you can finally see all the awesome PhysX effects in action in the game. From particle effects, impact debris, grenade explosions,
smoke and fluid effects, this GPU PhysX comparison video for Metro 2033 covers it all.
be sure to check out the previous posts we have made about Metro 2033:
Additional physics effects in Metro 2033 title for PC. “Advanced PhysX OFF” vs “Advanced PhysX ON”. Graphics settings – High, DX10. Watching in HD is highly recommended.

PC Games Hardware has uploaded a cool new video of the Nvidia PhysX Supersonic Rocket Sled Demo running on the new Geforce GTX 480. This video which is similar to the other PhysX Rocket Sled demo videos we have seen before shows off a really interesting feature, you can actually place objects on the tracks and in the path of the sled and watch what happens when the PhysX sled impacts it, from there you can then pause it right after it happens and take a look at all the PhysX objects as they are flying through the air in all directions based upon physics powered by PhysX.
Definitely cool stuff, we also embedded the Official NVIDIA PhysX Rocket Sled Demo Trailer Video below in case you are not familiar with this upcoming PhysX demo from NVIDIA.
If you want to learn more about the making of the demo check out “An In-Depth Look at the PhysX Supersonic Sled Demo” we recently posted about. Also check out the other videos we have posted about that show different angles and info about the demo:
