RE: [cod] VálaszRe: [cod] CoD5

Physx can be done by the graphics card with the latest series of nvidia
drivers, there is the physx drivers included and you can set in the physx
options that your card, of sli setup must handle the physx.
See attachment.
If you disable sli in the nvidia control panel, you can also just use 1 of
the cards for physx. If I'm right it even is possible (or is coming in the
near future) to have 3 nvidia cards setup for a 2 card sli and the 3rd for
physx usage.

Physics are handled by the CPU, however they have improved dual and quad 
core support.
While I don't recall support for EAX5 they have revamped the way sound 
is carried out.  An example is, walls now block sound. What I mean and 
the example we where shown:  About 20 soldiers on screen 10 vs 10.  with 
a large heavy cement wall (this was an engineering map for 
troubleshooting only).  You could hear and see them shooting at each 
other and the sound was very loud.  Once you moved behind the heavy 
wall, the sounds where muffled and distinctly different from other 
games.  Also in game music is tied to areas of the game and will fade in 
and out as you get closer and further away from the "area".

It's hard to explain but it sounded very good, granted we where sitting 
in a studio with over 200K worth of equipment so it better sound  good  :-)

We really need the demo (granted I can only assume it will be Windows 
bits) to review/get a hands on in regards to what is actually shipping. 

They had other physics demos where you would shoot a Japanese sniper 
from a tree and he would hang by his rope lanyard.  You could then shoot 
the rope and he would fall.  They also had wooden signs hung by rope in 
which you could shoot them and they would react to real world physics. 
lots of floating and sinking objects in the water, had to hold your 
breath to swim under water.......

One last thing and this may not make it in.   They had a crysis like 
feature where the brush would move out of the way instead of walking 
through the model (clipping) .  I would also say the water and fire 
looked as good as Crysis on high settings.

Boxes where your generic gaming high end dell boxes with 24'+ screens.
