By making behavior more realistic, the graphics look and feel better.
In the beginnings of 3D Gaming, characters and worlds were basically built from boxes with decals on them.
Before PhysX, game designers had to precompute how an object would behave in reaction to an event.
The disadvantage of this approach was that the gamer always saw the same canned animation.
With PhysX, games can now accurately compute the physical behavior of bodies real time!
PhysX technology is widely adopted by over 150 games and is used by more than 10,000 developers.
How it works:
PhysX is designed specifically for hardware acceleration by powerful processors with hundreds of processing cores.
Note: For games that use SDK versions before 2.7.1 the PhysX Legacy Installer must also be installed.
These are games that were released around the end of 2007 or earlier.
The PhysX Legacy Installer is available here:PhysX_System_Software_Legacy_Driver.
Supported OS:
Previous versions:
