Well, NDA for new GTX480/470 GPUs from Nvidia is lifting now all over the world, and we are ready to spoil some details about PhysX computing capabilities of new GPUs.

Not bad, huh ? GTX 480 promises 2.5x performance gain over GTX 285 in PhysX calculations. To reinforce this statement, some benchmarking results vere revealed.

First one – for Raging Rapid Ride techno-demo, featuring complex water simulation (you can read our overview here).

Second one  – for actual GPU PhysX enhanced Dark Void title, released in January.

In addition, GTX 480’s ability to simulate and render up to 1 000 000 particles in Supersonic Sled demo was mentioned.

That is all what we have for you today
