<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I assume that software-driven PhysX would simply process things more slowly than hardware-boosted PhysX. The game might respond by not rendering some optional effects, but for things that affect game play, if a map really needed PhysX hardware then I expect those without it would simply see poor frame rates. How poor would depend on their CPU power.<br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 17px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><b style="font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">nagr</span></b><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#FF0000"><b style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; ">o</span></b></font><b style="font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">mme</span></b></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "></span></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 44.0px; text-indent: -44.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="4" color="#000000" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>From: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica">"Rick Page" <<a href="mailto:mpcacrucesalus@gmail.com">mpcacrucesalus@gmail.com</a>></font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 40.0px; text-indent: -40.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="4" color="#000000" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Date: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica">December 15, 2007 1:33:17 PM EST</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 27.0px; text-indent: -27.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="4" color="#000000" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>To: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica"><a href="mailto:ut3@icculus.org">ut3@icculus.org</a></font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 61.0px; text-indent: -61.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="4" color="#000000" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Subject: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica"><b>Re: [ut3] LINUX CLIENT RELEASE DATE - OFFICIAL</b></font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 71.0px; text-indent: -71.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="4" color="#000000" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Reply-To: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="4" style="font: 14.0px Helvetica"><a href="mailto:ut3@icculus.org">ut3@icculus.org</a></font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px"><br></p> </div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">This brings up an interesting question. I have not kept up with reading all about the PhysX card. So some facts would be great, before it gets mixed in with speculations. Now my question. What happens on the client side for all of us that don't have the PhysX card? If someone online that has a card blows up a building and it comes tumbling down on top of you, and you don't have the card, do you still see a building wall coming down on you? I am sure that it just won't be as spectacular on your end as their end. <br>Rick<br></blockquote></body></html>
