We all know BoB will be a huge leap from IL2 in terms of realism, graphics , physics and hardware and on and on, but it's not gonna be a benchmark as demanding as Crysis.

Dont get me wrong im sure it will look just awsome and sweap everything away im just saying if your looking at buying a system now, just go for a Quad and 8800 GTS Nvidia at least and say 2 gigabyte of ddr2 memory. If you do that i can personally promise you you'd be able to play on high settings.

Does that include the dreaded new clouds too?

From my understanding, Nvidia bought phys-x's software and is incorporating it into its new drivers for the 200 series cards. I would be suprised if BOB doesn't use the graphics card for at least some of the physics, gaming theory has been moving that way for some time. As for the phys-x hardware, I believe that horse is deader than a door nail.

I posted that in this thread already. Nvidia incorportated Physx into drivers some time ago for the 8xxx series.

Oops, missed that one.

Yeah, I'm running physx on my 8800GTS 512 at home and it works great.

Hi there, I'm running a 9800GTX and I've installed the latest beta drivers. How do I find out if PhysX is running. When I run the Ageia PhysX properties program it says I don't have an ageia card. Does Nvidia have a test program?

Please Urufu_Shinjiro!
I have the 175.80 driver.
Can you give us some more specific information how to do that? ( PhysicsX with a 8800GTS)
I would really be very thankful.

Regards.

The official drivers should be released tommorow (August 12th) with a whole lot of extras.

Keep in mind your FPS will suffer masivly wen running PhysX on a NVidia card, buit if your running a SLI rig you can let one GPU deal with the PhysX and the other with the Graphics...

I think ATI's/AMD's solution is a hell of a lot better both for PhysX and Havok as it desides to run it on or the GPU or CPU or Both depending what would give the optimal performance but with NVidia your forced to use the GPU wich is far from optimal in some cases.

Still cant wait to give it all a try on my 2 8800GT cards
