ATI Says It Can Do Physics Better Than AGEIA and NVIDIA

PROVE IT AND PROVE IT NOW!

dun just open your mouth and deliver it 6 months later with a new graphics core, like what they have done with their crossfire tech (they talked big, and launched it TWICE, and now..where is all the dual x850 hype?)

I wholly agree. Better to shut yer mouth than to jabber about nothing.

Recently ATI's kiasu-ness (afriad of losing) really makes them a real loser, even when they are not...

agreed. even their X1900 diagram is very confusing and misleading.

I also noticed that nvidia's marketing has really gone to overdrive. Take our front page, for example, there are four links to nvidia articles!!!

Or maybe they're just a coincidence?

The only thing ATI does better than nvidia is their box cover, and even thats a close race.

Yeah, they are going into an overdrive. They just keep coming with new updates!!!!

And just FYI, we are going to get another update very soon...

And what was that thread not so long ago about nvidia not seeding forums?

An even better solution, for the user and for ATI, is that you have two ATI GPUs that can split the rendering and physics calculations between the two different cards. What is most impressive to me is that ATI has assured me that these two cards do not have to run in CrossFire mode, and thus they do not have to be the same GPU. If you have an X1900 XTX now, and in about eight months you buy a new ATI 2800 XTX, you can save your X1900 XTX for physics calculations. As of now, NVIDIA has said they do not support this feature but see the value in doing so. Hopefully that means the feature will be coming soon as the upgrade opportunities this offers readers are fantastic.

If ATI (or even NVIDIA) can make this true I think PhysX will be seriously doomed
