Nvidia Physx Performance + new drivers

[+Mystic MVC]

I should have some performance results by Friday I hope guys because my ram should be in. I really want to rip through that fluid demo with my GTX 280.

[:: Lyon ::]

Is there a list what games are Phsyx enabled/supported? Would love to try this on my old/current games to see the performance difference (it is meant for boosting performance, right?)

[azz0r_wugg]

Try Warmonger. Its not bad....not great either

Hey guys, i Installed the software just then and it wont let me select the physx config? it just greyed out?

i have a 8800GT 512mb superclocked edition

Why wont it work? im on vista 32 bit and i cant choose with it just lets me use without.

Is this for the alien blob type thing? I have the same problem.

Just ran the tests, and I'm quite impressed by the power of CUDA. I knew that Nvidia were promoting it as powerful, but I never really bought into the media hype, but independently calculating 61000 objects is pretty impressive. I'm curious to know though if this will impact on graphics performance.

i think support for 8 Series is not implemented yet

i think support for 8 Series is not implemented yet

The fluid demo works :wacko:

nope , it is implemented 100%

i just post my result in the last page in fluidmark using 8800GTS(read geforce 8)

The fluid demo works :wacko:

who can be so sure you got 9 series not 8 series ;)

[slippery]

Im just a tad perplexed - I have a 8800 GTS (640mb) GPU and cannot get it to run after installing the new whql drivers. Am I missing something?

[joker999]

i tried a small program called phyX fluidmark it does some benchmarking for phyX

phyX thro CPU (software mode )got about ~1286 point

about 22 fps on average

<sinp>

phyX thro gpu got about ~5300 point

much smoother 89 fps average some major improvment over cpu mode :D

<sinp>

edit : waired the screenshot doesn't show up

avg: 104fps

avg: 22fps

:)

btw i use 177.89

[Ci7]

avg: 104fps

comn this is not fair i got first gen gf88GTS :rofl:

[Sethos]

Min: 55

Max: 332

Avg: 89

At 1920x1200

PhysX version: 80718 :blink:

To be fair, it's not really CUDA but more of the fact that the GPU architechture is much more suited to physics calculations.

Not only are the Stream Proccessors designed with parrallelism in mind, but there are alot of them. (128 in a 8800GTS 512 for example.)

I'm sure a Intel/AMD <Insertfurturebrandname> 128-core CPU could handle this quite well too.

Muahaha :devil:

I think because vista?

[Sethos]

Yeah, Vista is definitely draining power!

Here's my results at 1280x1024 with an 8800 Ultra;

I'm switching back to XP tomorrow!

corrected for you :)

true .

i bet something like 128 core wont be here any time soon i bet at least 10 years from now (imigine each one of them running 5ghz :p with a big ddr6 sticked to cpu)

thro i read about intel 80-core beast research chip from some times ago

[peterPL]

here is my score

[CrashG]

Fairly decent results. :laugh: I did do the test at the native resolution of my monitor (it's also what I game at too).

Here's the wife's results: (also at the monitors native resolution)

Yeah, Vista is definitely draining power!

Sorry to say, it's not Vista. :p

No? Then tell me why my results just shot up under XP ;) ?

Could also be because I used some older drivers under Vista? But my FPS did increase across the board under XP.

Well I just noticed joker999's GT scored about 10+ FPS faster than the wife's' GT, but anything over 25-30 FPS what's the difference? Except for the e-peen factor. :p

[Sethos]

Well, I paid for an 8800 Ultra and getting lower performance numbers than 'slower' cards. I know the 8800 Ultra is not much faster than most of these cards, but shouldn't be scoring lower. I just want my expensive hardware to perform its best, not having some eyecandy OS think it can hog all the power :p

So no E-peen factor, just want my moneys worth.

who can be so sure you got 9 series not 8 series ;)

It's still a G92 core, so it's basically an 8-series.

Where do we get this FluidMark from?

No, your upgrade path was just a little off. :p

I'm just joking with you, it's amazing what a few months can do (lower prices/better products). I paid around $300 for my GTS back in Feb. If I could've only held off a few more weeks, but that's the way it goes, if you wait, you'll always be waiting.

I don't miss the few extra FPS I had under XP, I never even notice a difference (except in benchmarks), same goes for the OC'd CPU. :cool:
