Futuremark: NVIDIA GPU PhysX not allowed

[cadaveca]

Why is it OK for a CPU to do the job of a PPU and not a GPU?
Unless we get zero points from a CPU doing the job of a PPU we should allow a GPU doing the job of a PPU. Are we serious now?
Are we going to define the PPU GPU and CPU terms now?
Who cares about terms as soon as something out there does the same job?

You got it backwards though. The test is for CPU Physics which the PPU accelerates. It jsut so happens that Futuremark has added to the number of threads of that test when using a ppu, but they have not adjusted for the gpu, and hence the huge score increase.

In other words, that test does what nV thinks it should do on the gpu, not FUturemark, and as such, Futuremark cannot guarnatee the validity of the scores. As Someone said, it's about Futuremark adding the functionality to the app, not nVidia.

There are already GPU Physics test incorporated into the other tests. That specific test merely inflates CPU scores, not gpu scores. If nVidia had used this to accelerate the gpu cloth physics in the Jane Nash test, then there'd be no issue, as that test measures gpu performance, and is coded for such, but the cpu test is not coded to be run properly on a gpu.
