Batman: Arkham Origins will feature GPU PhysX effects as well
More interesting news are coming from NVIDIA Press Event (Editor’s Day), which was held recently at E3 2013.
It is now confirmed that Batman: Arkahm Origins, third game in the award-winning Batman Saga, will support GPU accelerated PhysX effects.
Both Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City are ones of the best games in the GPU PhysX pocket, so we hope that Arkham Origins will not dissapoint us as well.
The Witcher 3 will support GPU PhysX, now officially
As the PhysX SDK and APEX integration was announced for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, new RPG title from CD Project Red, the only question was bothering us – will the game actually include hardware accelerated PhysX effects?
Finally, the following photo from the NVIDIA Editor’s Day presentation at E3, revealed recently by Igor Stanek, Head of NVIDIA EMEAI Tegra PR, is putting an end to the debate – The Witcher 3 will officially support GPU PhysX, along with other enhancements.
So far, we do not have any detailed information about PhysX SDK (we only assume that PhysX 3 will be used) integration or level GPU PhysX effects.
We can only say that “Fur and Hair”, mentioned in the slide, are related to actual physically simulated hair and fur technology (APEX Hair & Fur), presented previously.

Metro Last Light – GPU Test by GameGPU
Sufficient amount of NVIDIA GPUs was tested in this article with the help of Metro’s built-in benchmark. However, since heavy graphics options (like SSAA) were used, it is hard to determine actual PhysX performance.
