Will CoD make use of Nvidia Cuda or Physx? Not sure if detail has been released?

[Mysticpuma]

Pretty much sums up the question.

I understand it is DirectX 10 but wonder if it will also be Cuda/Physx enabled too?

I'm currently between getting a ATI 6950 or an Nvidia Frozr 560 Ti and the information would help in the decision.

I doubt...

My gues is: No it wont.

I very much doubt it also. I was considering using one of my GTX285's as a dedicated physics card and then getting a GTX580 for the main card, but by all accounts there wont be any advantage to this, i dont think physics were around when this game began development.

S!

There has been no mention of CUDA or PhysX at all in ANY information from Oleg & Team. And frankly, that is a good thing NOT to have this included..Not another "one trick poney" like IL-2 Sturmovik was and still is favoring NV hardware. DirectX where both brands do just fine Rest up to the driver teams how well they get their job done.

Hi Flanker.

I understand your POV as Nvidia were the main target for IL2 years ago, I was just interested as it is now getting to the time where I am updating my card (with a £200 budget) and I have to way up;

Nvidia 560 - Pretty much as-fast as the 6950 but draws more power and uses mini HDMI, but does have Cuda and PhysX + 3D for a later date

ATI - Full-size HDMI, Multi-screen, Less Power draw (so good for Crossfire)

I'm edging the 560 anyway, but wondered if it would be utilised to the max with the extra Processing Power it has?

Cheers, MP

From what I've seen and read, neither PhysX or Cuda will be utilized. The fact that there's still some question about it also confirms it won't be utilized, as it's something that surely would have been made known by now if it were to be implemented, and it would actually contradict some other things that have been made known.

About CUDA though, if you're using Adobe Premiere Pro or Photoshop (and perhaps After Effects, I'm not sure) for your movies, then going nVidia would be a good idea, as they do make use of CUDA to speed things up quite a bit when editing.
