New GF100( Fermi ) PhysX Supersonic Sled Demo Video Emerges

EVGA has uploaded a new video of the PhysX Supersonic Sled Demo that was first showed off at CES 2010 last week. The new video shows the PhysX based sled moving along the track at different angles from what we previously saw and shows some impressive PhysX based destruction as it blows past the wooden house. The demo which is done in DX11 is also made up mostly of PhysX destructible’s along with PhysX smoke that reacts to it’s surroundings. The demo is supposedly going to be a new tech demo for the new Fermi video card’s that are going to be released within the next few months so hopefully we will get a chance to download and play with it soon.
