Available for non-commercial use, Havok Complete for the PC will be freely downloadable in May 2008.

In otherwords, you still need a license to use it if it's for use in an actual game, unlike novodex. Only if you need source code do you have to pay a fee with novodex, or if you're going to modify it. ;)

I read it :)

Quote:

Havok has entered into an agreement with Intel, Havok’s parent company, under which approved game developers on the PC platform can execute a commercial distribution license with Havok for free."

Quote:

Havok’s overall focus remains cross-platform and Havok will continue commercial licensing of Havok Complete for other platforms and in other industries such as movies and serious gaming. This initiative does not apply to license fees that may be payable to Havok for console versions of Havok Complete or to applications developed for other purposes such as game engines for redistribution, other middleware, movies, training, military or industrial simulation.

Free for Pc, Intel initiative :up:

You can also play "grid rally" . With physx enabled it gives a boost from 50fps to 90fps (1920x1200) .

Yes, I know. I just didn't know PhysX had effects on it. Seems it does, at least it feels a bit more light with these drivers...
