There is a pretty cool new PhysX GPU benchmark you can download from a new third person shooter being developed by Epic games in China called Mars.The game and demo implements GPU PhysX effects on a pretty large scale with everything from fluid, particles, cloth, smoke, and destruction. You can find out more info from Geforce.cn and the games website. The level in the benchmark is called Global Mission and shows off the entire range of PhysX effects that are implemented into the game. Check out a video of the demo below.
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.
Nvidia has been showing off some pretty amazing stuff this year at the GPU Technology Conference like the Beating Heart Surgery Made Possible by NVIDIA 3D CUDA Technology. What we are interested in is Physics. During the Keynote Tony Tamasi, Senior Vice President Content and Technology in NVIDIA showed off two amazing physics based demos that use PhysX to simulate smoke and fluids(water). We have seen smoke and fluid simulation for a long time now but these new demos are really amazing and continue to improve and are all done in real time on a single GPU. The smoke demo shows very high-fidelity smoke simulation that looks almost real when the characters interact with the smoke and the lighthouse fluid simulation demo really looks like a storm battering the coast with physics based debris floating around. Check out videos of the demo below taken from http://www.netbooknews.com. Imagine someday when we see stuff like this implemented into games!

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:
Ever since we saw the Glowball PhysX demo and the Floating Castle Physics Demo running on Tegra 3 powered tablets we have been pretty excited about physics on Tegra powered devices. Back in November NVIDIA announced the released of their new Quad-Core mobile Tegra 3 chip that uses “four CPU cores and its new GeForceRead More
I know that Batman Arkham City has been out for awhile now and this is old news but as I have been extremely busy with work and finishing up school I never got a chance to post these. These are some cool Batman Arkham City PhysX comparison on/off videos from both EVGA and YouTube userRead More
Krishna Kumar – YouTube user krishx007 who runs gfxguru.net has made a pretty cool physics/PhysX demo level with Unity 3D called Physics Wonderland. The level is basically a huge playground with PhysX objects that you can destroy and play around with to show off the different PhysX features in Unity 3D. Check it out belowRead More
The Game Developers Conference 2012 is going to have a session that really interests us. The “Physics for Games Programmers” session/tutorial is going to cover the “tools and techniques developers should know when implementing physics in their games.” According to the information on the GDC 2012 site, the session will take place on Tuesday, MarchRead More
With all of the excitement about rumored hardware being used in the next-generation consoles, some very disappointing news has come today. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Sony has no plans to unveil the Sony Playstation 4 at this years E3 and is going to stick with the 10-year life cycle plan. If thisRead More
