I hope they did something about the performance drops when enabled

Maybe they can now simulate beard hair. Viking game incoming?

Yea, Tomb Raider was laggy as hell with just her hair using it

Today is the 13th isn't it? I know it's in California but APU has already been going on for 2 days. I'm not complaining, I'm just excited because we should hopefully hear how well Mantle works today with some real world stats.
I could so nearly play Tomb Raider with everything including TressFX on a 7850. Hopefully TressFX 2 means even better optimization. Given what's actually being done, I'm impressed it doesn't give more of a performance hit. It is friggen hair simulation after all.
On another note, Bullet 3 is also being announced. Its a pretty great physics SDK and I am sad its not used more. Only games I know of are Trials 2 and the RAGE engine (by rockstar, not the game rage).

Cool news. I never understood the complaints about performance hit with TressFX, I was able to run Tomb Raider on pretty much max settings (minus anti-aliasing maxed out) on a 7950, TressFX looked great and I had solid frame rates. Maybe just didn't work well for nVidia cards?

.......all depends...IF GAMING STUDIOS WILL ADOPT THESE FEATURES........
GAMEPLAY!!! Indeed.....
make me think of Gabe Newell...(a**h**e)...concerning gameplay....

Rendering each strand of hair, what do you expect?
SLI-756
Umm she had it in a pony tail lol, around 10 strands were loose haha
but sure the more fur, nice grass and fancy hairstyles the better.

I believe something like a 7950 could render it nicely at that level of quality, but I played the game on a gtx 560 and tressfx was a no-go. someone above said he ran it at almost max on a 7850, which i really doubt since it's a tad better than my card. and i doubt it's so heavily optimized towards amd cards. although nvidia had their share of problems with tomb raider, driver-wise.
it would really be gay if nvidia/amd would start developing and heavily optimizing their own technology for their own cards. because in time it will be all about the features instead of raw performance or performance/price ratio like it is now.

Where is the BreastFX?

This guy has his priorities straight.

Or not, you want hairy breasts? xD
I think a lot of people mix TressFx with a generic physics engine. TressFx is only for simulating hair like textures/sprites/geometry. Just like by nvidia, nv hair has a special branch for it and its not physx in general 😉
And imo TombRaider hair is not buggy, its only on nvidia - that hair twitching time to time (benchmark) is actually driver fault. I didnt have that before, it started with newer drivers since r320 or 325+

Have no problem with tress fx all max setting except for 2x ssaa.

What about Boobs FX? Games would be interesting as never before ha ha

Skyrim + Mods = What You Want
Also, TressFX ran great for me... you just needed a high end AMD GPU or something close to it at the time... I think it may be better now with drivers for NVIDIA and mid range AMD GPUs, but I haven't checked it out in months myself.
