    That's too bad. I was really looking forward to your explanation on how Nvidia is limiting the level of physics that's possible on a CPU. I see people making these claims all the time and at the end they can never back it up....and that trend continues.

    Are you really that dense?

    CPU use is limited to single thread when PhysX is enabled.

    There....happy? nVidia has the game devs write the coding so that physics is limited to running on a single thread in the cpu, eschewing multi threaded running capabilities, when a non-nVidia video card is found in the system.

    Is that so hard to understand? I guess so........

    Sigh, speaking of dense.....

    I'm not sure why english is so difficult to understand but what does PhysX have to do with the ability of other people (i.e NOT NVIDIA) doing better physics on the CPU? I missed the announcement that Nvidia has a monopoly on physics code.

    Don't you know Nvidia locks developers in their secret dungeon lair and forces them to do their bidding, developers have no choice but to comply.
