NVIDIA PhysX and APEX support announced for Sony PS4

NVIDIA PhysX and APEX support announced for Sony PS4

NVIDIA announced that it will provide PhysX and APEX support for the AMD-based Sony PlayStation 4 console:
NVIDIA today announced support for Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation®4 with the popular NVIDIA PhysX and NVIDIA APEX software development kits (SDKs).

Game designers use PhysX and APEX technologies for collision detection and simulation of rigid bodies, clothing, fluids, particle systems and more across a wide range of platforms, including desktop PCs, game consoles, and mobile and handheld devices.

NVIDIA PhysX technology is the world's most pervasive physics solution for designing real-time, real-world effects into interactive entertainment titles. The PhysX development environment gives developers unprecedented control over the look of their final in-game interactivity.

Taking PhysX technology content creation to the next level, NVIDIA APEX technology lets artists create intricate physics-enabled environments. They can expand the quantity and visual quality of destructible objects; make smoke and other particle-based fluids integral to game play; and create life-like clothing that interacts with the character's body to achieve more realism in their games.

"Great physics technology is essential for delivering a better gaming experience and multiplatform support is critical for developers," said Mike Skolones, product manager for PhysX at NVIDIA. "With PhysX and APEX support for PlayStation®4, customers can look forward to better games."

NVIDIA PhysX and APEX technologies are designed to run on a variety of CPU architectures and can be accelerated by any CUDA® architecture-enabled NVIDIA GPU, GeForce 8-series or higher.

Probably it will not. This is company executive deals. Money talks louder how could nvidia lets this pass even if they have to play along together a amd based mobo ?

its always about money money money don´t you ever forget that

Physx is open source with a special liscense, its been possible to get AMD gpu accelerated physics for a while bit i imagine that is a very difficult task for an open source developer to accomplish, and amd clearly doesnt have the money or care to do it themselves.

I do think itd be nice if intel got into it though, the igp ought to be good enough for physx while a descrete gpu can work on visials.

Yeah, they're called a business for a reason.

But anyway, if you read the thing instead of just assuming "lol money" you'd see that its strictly an SDK. Something already available for the PC. Physx can easily run on your CPU, just as it will in the PS4.
