Popular Physics Engines comparison: PhysX, Havok and ODE
End of the year is proper time to gather some statictics and summarize what PhysX SDK has archieved in past 4 years. So, we woud like to present our new article “Popular Physics Engines comparison: PhysX, Havok and ODE“, in which we are trying to compare PhysX SDK with other physics engines presented on the market not in terms of features, quality, performance or something like that – but released game titles.
Article includes basic statistics for Bullet and Newton physics engines, and advanced statictics for PhysX SDK, Havok and ODE – released games quality, platform distribution, and release dynamics for past years.
this graph is very misleading..77 Physx games released? maybe on the consoles..but not on PC..how about a comparison of GPU accelerated physx against havok and ODE..this just fuels the flames of physx being the best…were we all know its crap

Graph is showing released games per year – that’s 200 released PhysX SDK based games in overall. (on CPU, GPU and consoles)
As for GPU physics – 11 games on PhysX, 0 – Havok, 0 – ODE, speaking of numbers.
“this just fuels the flames of physx being the best”
It’s only showing that PhysX SDK has more released titles. Havok is best engine currently, and article shows that.
