I don't see people saying that everything should be run off the CPU, what i see are people saying that what they have seen in some games could of been run on the CPU.Originally Posted by Talonman
As long as it's on the GPU via OpenCL or CUDA, I am on board with that. I only disagree when I get the impression that people think everything should be run off of the CPU, in the name of standardization.
To me, standardization is only a good thing if it dosent come at the cost of performance. When we are talking about any physics engine, I believe the GPU is better suited to run that.
PhysX is the exact mirror of your comment with everything should be run off the GPU even if it does not need to.
No one said that the GPU is not better suited but it should not be mandatory for physics that can be done on the CPU.
