NVIDIA to Credit Marty McFly Modding for Leftover Ansel Code

[Filip Georgievski]

1 more reason why it will become a standard, and not some extra that costs hundreds of dollars by Nvidia, charging you to use their solution, which in terms CRIPLE their own GPUs, just like GameWorks does.

I guess nobody opened Havok's site and read about their software suite.
So I've put the link above so people can realy read what Havok is all about, and not just blindly defend Nvidia's dirty work, like it is the Holy Grail.

I'm not gonna lie, I am an AMD user (not fanboy), and althow I used Nvidia products in the past, they are quite more expencive, and do not offer anything more than what AMD offers on the table.

So I guess spending less money on a tech that does the job, but is not some ULTRA MAMBO JAMBO of a deal is smart than charging for something you can get for free.

Really? I didn't go to their site to verify what info I already know? Ok, buddy. Get off your high horse.

They have a website. so? They were bought by MS on October 2nd, who purchased them from Intel, who owned them since 2007. They have had their own website for a long time. It doesn't change who owns them and uses them, and it hasn't changed their business model. It has been the same all these years, and PhysX still has not been wiped out.

EDIT: The truth is, I am not "pro-PhysX". I turn it off in most games. I am, however, pro facts, and anti-"brand superiority," which I really don't see a reason for.

 

[Filip Georgievski]

I never said anyone was a pro-PhysX person or something like that.
The truth is people say they want AMD to be a better competitor, because that way we get better pricing on products from Nvidia.

But nobody here commented that maybe Nvidia should drop their act and start cooperating with other companies.
This is because, and only because................................................ YOU GUESSED IT............................................. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY.

That is why every new concept in the tech world of software development should be free for use, and companies will choose how to implement it in their own drivers and API,
and not force one company to run a tech that will hurt the other (tessalation, HairWorks, GameWorks, PhysX - which are all Nvidia's).

Vulkan is a game changer, it levels the play field for both companies, so now Nvidia can't hide under their GameWorks and Tessalation, because AMD's GPU Open allows for optimization for such things, and it will not be that easy for Nvidia to stay on top so confidently this time.

Yes, Nvidia wants to stay in business so they care about $$$

I can't defend them ethically from some of the shit they've pulled though.

It seems like AMD fans think everything should be free or cheap. When you buy a GPU you are not just paying for the cost of manufacturing, marketing and shipping you are also paying for the R&D that made the chip possible to buy in the first place.

How does Vulkan level the playing field? It clearly gives AMD GPUs an advantage.

 

[Filip Georgievski]

I would not call it advantage.
It is more of a boost to even the play field.
If you did a little digging around you would find now that vulkan is here, AMD and NV GPUs are how they are supposed to be matched.

Vulkan is here...?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_Vulkan_support

4 titles.

Let's expand that to DX12...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_12_support


9 titles currently. 6 more by 10/21... two more so far in 2017.


Yeah....perhaps its on its way, but I wouldn't call it 'here' with four games. We all hope it will be, but, we all saw what happened to Mantle... I am hopeful, but not holding my breath at the same time.

Don't be too hasty. You know there are people that will mark this day down, and will call you out next year when PhysX is not dead, which it very likely won't be.[/QUOTE
